Summary: blurry photos
Comment: you cannot take indoor photos without flash with this camera. the flash makes everything look stupid. pretty frustrating. i sent it into canon and they said it is working fine.

Summary: Very good camera
Comment: I have been using this camera since July and have taken many great pictures. To get full use of the capabilities reading the manual is extremely helpful. The biggest problem I seem to have is eliminating red eye when taking indoor pictures. Other than that I am very satisfied. The size is perfect.

Summary: Not sold yet
Comment: I have to confess I'm not a 'camera' person-- I'm probably like most of you reading this-- just looking for a good camera that takes good pictures. We've had this camera for about a month, and honestly I'm not impressed so far. I had a Nikon before this one that was 4 years old and I accidently broke the LCD. I had been kinda wanting a new camera and now had the opportunity to shop.
I use my camera to take family and friends photos, inside and outside. I did a TON of research- read all the reviews, search several review websites and chose this camera. The pictures are less than stellar so far. Some blurry, grainy, the flash doesn't suffice. I have learned a little about the ISO and have attempted to adjust that to get better pictures, yet still nothing fantastic. I kinda wish I can return this, but at this point I don't think I can. All the product reviews said to look at the PowerShots or CyberShots, I definitely wish I had stayed with the Nikons.
I'll keep you posted, but if you are shopping for christmas, completely stressed out on what to get and a product research nerd like me, skip this one for now...

Summary: Best camera I have ever owned
Comment: I have had this camera for over a year. I have loaned it to friends. It has been tossed around, rained on, frozen, dropped and it still functions perfectly. The pictures are wonderful. Strongly recommend this one!

Summary: Great Camera
Comment: It's a great Camera and meets all your expectations...I bought it from amazon along with Kingston 2GB memory card and case logic camera case for $260/- and that's a steal....The pictures are great and the operations simple..I would highly recommend it and the pricing on Amazon is simply great...
