One Handed operation

(Rich Watson - 2/21/08)

I am able to handle this camera with one hand. Makes it handy for unobtrusive shooting. I use my left hand (even though I am right-handed) and I find that all the controls are easy to reach, even the zoom, with the one hand.

I really like the way that Canon has incorporated the zoom lever with the other aspects of the camera. For example, the zoom lever allows you to zoom in on a tiny potion of the photo (in display mode) --- or you can go back to the "wide angle" setting and get NINE of your photos to display on the LCD. At that (nine photo) setting, then you can "scroll" though your stock of photos, nine at a time, to quickly get to where you want to be. Not a big deal if you only have a dozen or two photos, but pretty handy if you have 50 or more stored on the SD card.

Perhaps other cameras have this implementation, I don't know, but it IS on all of the three Canon Powershots that I own
