5 out of 5 stars Almost perfect point and shoot   November 20, 2008
Mark (San Francisco, CA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I've had the privilege to test out a lot of different cameras for free over the last several years. Some I kept (and paid for) and some I returned. I have gotten to try a lot of canons and this one is the best I've used. I've got to try several "A" powershots and "SD" powershots and out of all this one seems to perform the best.
I have a Canon EOS 40D which has 10 megapixels and is an extremely good camera. When I looked at photos from this camera and the 40D, both being 10 megapixels I was shoocked at the quality of this small point and shoot for less than $200. The pictures were almost identical in quality. Its really hard to see any differences. I like to test cameras with macro using coins. When you take a macro photo with this camera and the 40D on both you can see every little scratch, imperfection and dust. I was blown away by this camera at such a good price (right now $183).
Of course no camera is perfect. One thing I don't like about this camera is that while recording video, the zoom function is only digital zoom and not optical, like that on the Samsung nv24hd. But the picture quality is far superior here than the samsung. But this camera doesn't have HD recording and the samsung excels at that, video is incredible with a fast comptuer or PS3.
Battery like is over 50% longer on this powershot than my last one, the SD630. That camera is extremely good but the screen is low res and that camera is mostly plastic (that looks like metal), this one is a metal brick. Amazing quality at such an affordable price ($183)

As an amature photographer taking pictures of family,friends and interesing places this camera is the best. I like its portability - I am able to carry it anywhere. I like the instructional manual - It's straight to the ponit. The camera itself is very easy to use. I will recommend this camera to friends.
