A very nice P&S with above average manual control
(Nikocanion - 5/10/09)Canon has done it again, the Powershot range doea what the name consists off deliver wonderfull Shots with less Power.
This camera has a huge 2.5 inch LCD screen with good resolution , only in very bright sunlight hard to see , but were the sun shine there is always a shade , to wath the pictures taken.
6 MP (effective 5.9) is a great resolution and more than enough to make high quality print outs with ease 20*30 cm minimal up to 55*75 cm is possible
The things i like are :
++ batteries AA size (available at almost every spot of the world)
++++ great manual setting of White Balance , Iso , Colour modes
the program modes , scene modes and other shooting modes are very good.
This is a prety fast compact , when you do not use the flash.
flash recycle time is a few seconds during this time the camera is locked , but so it is with all major compacts of any brand.
the canon delivers a good to very good image and it's handeling is good thanks to the great mini grip.
The camera takes SD memory ( NOT SDHC! ) up to 2 gb leaving the user more than 1100 images aka a good for one week holliday in greece (par example)
mine camera has not let me down yet , and i expect that it will work the same for you, guarantee is not given since i do not have any relationship with canon other than a customer relationship of 5 canon products (2 camera's + 2 scanners i photoprinter)
What are the things i like less?
Size : it is big for a compact , it is bigger , thicker and heavier than most other compact you dont put it away easyly in the pocket of a trousers or skirt .
flash recharcing time could be faster
no raw possibility
but every camera has it goods and lesser points.
do i recommend it > Yes i do
