Best low light P&S on the market"

The fast lens and the relatively high ISO ability of this camera make it one of the best I have ever seen in a P&S camera that fits in your pocket
Pop up flash is a real pain. The camera has no grip on it meaning you wind up holding it with both hands - fingers on the top, thumbs on the bottom. Problem is your finger(s) on the left hand rest on top of the flash. Also, only 3.8 x zoom

when it worked-it took a good pictures
you have to pay extra $80-100 for extended waranty or for repare. But when it is heppened 2 months after I got the camera A470-even if I had this warranty, I would think twice to buy anothe Canon again. This was my only camera that broke so soon
