I must say that this Camera is something truly amazing and I HIGHLY recommend it to everybody, specially to those who are not professional photographers but want at the same time to learn about it and don't want to start with something big and expensive. The Camera has 120x zoom!

Incredible Zoom

Battery life could be better

The 30x zoom is awesome, I don't usually like digital zoom, but I was surprised in the quality of the 120x zoom. it is a little slow to focus so fast moving objects are tricky, but this takes awesome pictures. My daughter is using it for her college photography class currently and loves it also.

Easy To Use; Good Image Quality; Great Zoom; Nice For Wildlife Zoom; Small / Compact

Low Light So So

Takes beautiful pictures. Easy to use. Zoom is incredible and very sharp when maxed out.

Great zoom; Great processor; Great image stabilization

None

This is a great compact camera. I have owned other Canon Powershots and this one has the optical zoom that I was hoping for. I am an avid scrapbooker who loves to take photos and the combination of 16 megapixel and 30x optical zoom is great for capturing those long distance shots.

Easy To Use; Fast/accurate auto-focus; Good Image Quality; Good Image Stabilization; Good in Low Light; Great Zoom; Large Clear LCD; Nice Body Color; Short Lag Time; Small / Compact

This camera fits perfectly between my Rebel XT DSLR, which takes excellent pictures but is bulky (especially with all the lenses) and a small and light ELPH 100HS point and shoot. It's a bit large and heavy for a point and shoot, but it still fits my pants pocket. It feels very solid.

Unbelievable clarity w/ the x30 optimal zoom. Very simple to use. Audio quality very good. Overall, this is a great little camera, which you will be very happy with. Only negative is that they do not include a complete owner's manual; you have to download parts of the manual from their website.

Got this unit as a handy travel camera - main camea Canon D5 with 100 - 400 Zoom which is too heavy to carry around. Worked well and I am truly impressed - takes good pictures and is quick to use - I haven't played with the myriad of settings yet - just bought it - charged it up - and bingo.

I was very pleased to use this camera! I had an SD450 that I've been using for the past several years, which is now out of date. I really like that the functionality between Power Shot models is very consistent, meaning that I didn't have to re-learn a whole new camera. The 30x zoom is FANTASTIC!!!

Does not miss a shot

Easy To Use; Fast/accurate auto-focus; Good Image Quality; Good in Low Light; Great Zoom; Short Lag Time

As the compact camera market continues to shrink, the outlay of new product seems to be surfing a common theme: zoom is increasing in a war waged with fixed-lens smartphone cameras.

Point and shoot ease or full manual control; close-up macro mode; good image stabilisation; decent image quality

Limited autofocus options; no raw capture; 30x zoom limitations at longer extension; no touchscreen; more basic than Panasonic TZ60
