What a camera!
This camera is great. The zoom is amazing and the clarity is wonderful. The 3" screen makes taking and viewing pictures a breeze. This camera takes great pictures in low lighting conditions. One example...my old Olympus 5 MP camera took horrible pictures of my Christmas tree when lit. The picture would come out looking like a blurry fireball. With this Canon, with the flash off in the dark and my Christmas tree illuminated, the lighted tree comes out in perfect clarity. You can see each individual bulb perfectly clear. I was amazed. I will have this camera for a long time.

Professional for Non-Professional Cost!
This camera takes exceptional pictures! Huge 3" viewing screen, and the zoom quality is absolutely amazing! Though you can set it on "auto" and take great pictures that way, it's manual settings allow you to adjust shutter speed, aperture, white balance, and much more to take those beautiful pictures that professional cameras take.
I've read reviews that said it eats batteries, but in my experience, that's only if you're constantly using the flash. If your setting are right, you don't need the flash on most the time, unless most of your shooting is done in low/dark light. Frankly, i rarely use the flash unless i'm in that kind of light setting and my pictures look better for it.
I would NOT recommend this camera for the first time, or casual picture-taker. This camera is best suited for someone who has a growing interest in taking better pictures because while you're learning to use the more advanced features (which takes time and practice) you can still take great shots in the "auto" setting.
THREE NEGATIVES:
1. It's somewhat heavy (which i don't mind but you might).
2. Also, when you DO use the flash, the viewing delay time is pretty significant. What I mean is as soon as you take a picture with the flash on you will have to wait atleast four seconds to take another picture.
3. There is no eye viewer (i'm sure that's not the correct term). What i mean is - you can only view your subject on the viewing screen, not by peeking through the eye hole that most cameras have.

Two Thumbs Up
I did more than my fair share of research before purchasing this camera. I actually purchased it, exchanged it for a different camera and then came back to this one for its superior quality. We wanted a camera with a decent zoom and unfortunately, that means you don't get a pocket-sized camera-it's a trade-off. The LCD screen is large and the image is clear and bright, not grainy like some cameras. The video feature, which we tried the other day, is a nice add-on. Yes, you don't have the option to zoom in, but that's why you buy a camcorder. It's a nice feature to have on the camera for those days you don't have that along. The menu is easy to use and I like being able to adjust as much or as little as I want. I wasn't sure whether I'd like a pop-up flash, but it becomes pretty automatic to put it up and if you don't, the camera reminds you. Lastly, I like being able to review my pictures without turning the camera on. There is some lag time after a picture has been taken, but I am still using the memory card it came with while awaiting the arrival of my new one. Once I have rechargeable batteries (I ordered Eneloop, which was recommended to me) and my Ultra II memory card, I expect to see some difference. All in all, I am quite happy with this product.

Everthing In A Camera I Could Hope For
I just wanted an easy-to-use and understandable camera. This camera is that and more. I can't believe all this camera does. It blew my mind. It's simple to use and the instruction book is easy to understand. I really appreciate the 3" viewer. For those seeking an advanced camera capable of just about anything, this camera provides that too.

mom with interest in photography
I think this is a great camera fr the money. The specs are great for a reasonable price. It does not have a viewfinder window instead the lcd screen is the window. It took a little bit to get used too, I am happy I got this camera.
