Good camera...with a few issues.

(CameraFyre - 11/2/09)

The Good: Impressive focal range in a relatively compact lens, surprisingly usable images up to ISO 800, generally easy to use, uses inexpensive AA batteries, image stabilizer a welcome assist for handheld telephoto shots, fast and quiet zoom lens (thanks to the ultrasonic motor), DSLR-like styling.

The Bad: It's big, it's heavy, the long zoom lens has typical issues for its type (chromatic aberration, some barrel distortion, etc), it lacks 720p HD movie capability.

Some rivals have slightly sharper image quality (the Panasonic FZ35, for example)...but they all share the same basic issues. I find the Canon to be one of the best big-zoom cameras out there, but shop around...you might find one you like more than the Canon.
