Little Gem
(Claude Sperry - 4/21/08)This little gem has most of the features of my EOS DSLR and then some newer ones. The lens has optical zoom from an equivalent 35mm to 140mm which corresponds nicely to my favorite 35mm to 135 mm EF lens. Little digital cameras certainly need image stabilization and the Canon version worked well during a photo shoot at a recent French Quarter festival. The resulting pictures were sharp and the colors turned out true to life. I have another little digital camera that cost about the same as the Canon and has a six-times optical lens but is usless outdoors because it doesn't have an optical viewfinder. In my experience, an optical viewfinder is a must for outdoor use. In short, this is a great little camera at a good price.
