Canon SX120 IS
The Canon PowerShot SX120 offers a lot for the $220 it costs: a decent 10x zoom lens, good video capture and full manual controls.
The SX120 offers a lot for the price: you get a 10x zoom with a decent wide angle, a big screen and an easy to use camera for about $220. But there are a few rough edges: the quality of the captured images is generally good, but does fall off somewhat ...

Easy access to features like white balance (incl manual set), exposure adj, & variable power flash. The LCD screen is bright & in using double AA batteries they are easily replaced. Good continuous auto-focus tracking. great Image Stabilization
Wish it came with a decent camera bag. Manual focus well designed but hard to discern in bright light. The exposure adjustment works well but is slow to show the effect of adjustments on screen (~3/4 sec)
"Love this camera!"

Very easy to use. A person can very quickly start taking professional quality photos. The optical zoom is amazing. I was shocked at how clear pictures were when using the optical zoom. Most other camera end up being blurry
I really haven't found any cons. My knowledge of cameras is limited so for what I was looking for, this camera is perfect
