Big Small Camera

Great camera. I had a Canon 6MP and wanted to upgrade to 12MP or higher and I wanted to stick with the Canon brand so I checked out what they have. This little camera just caught my eye. The first thing that struck me was the colour, but other than that it works great in low light as it says and you can choose to shoot fully automatically or switch to manual and either choose one of the preset shooting modes or just set it up your own options. It has a great 3 inch field of view and the…

Pros
  • 4x optical zoom with wide-angle lens (28-112 mm), optical image stabilizer and 3.0-inch PureColor LCD.
Cons
  • Expensive

Amazing picture quality! Bad processing quality!

UPDATE: A little over a year after purchase, the camera accidentally turned on in the housing. Since the lens extends automatically when the power is turned on, this pushes the lens against the inside of the body. As a result, the lens jammed, and the ever-useful message "Lens reading error” appeared on the screen. While it's not Canon's fault that the camera was turned on inside the body, as pocket cameras are usually carried around, a little more staying power would be nice. Perhaps a…

Pros
  • Full HD 1080p video for exceptional quality and footage stabilized with Dynamic IS.
Cons
  • Weight

Great camera, easy to use

I bought this camera to replace my old Powershot SD870IS which I am very happy with. 100 HS exceeded my expectations. After reading a few reviews and looking at pictures taken with this camera on various photo sharing websites, I decided to get involved. I only had it for about a month when I bought it as a gift for my mom. Images are sharp and show great detail, especially in low light. Canon has simplified the controls on the back, so they not only look cleaner but also make it easier to…

Pros
  • Smart AUTO intelligently selects the right camera settings based on 32 predefined shooting conditions.
Cons
  • Only available in black

Great Pocket Camera

I pre-ordered this camera (not visible) before it came out and it did not disappoint. It's tiny even for an elf and the photos are way better than any previous elf I've had. (Now I have four.) The screen is nice and big, although it started to scratch after a week. something that hadn't happened to any of my previous elves in 10 years. I think that's what happens when the jar is so huge. My biggest gripe is the ridiculously tiny controls. I have thin fingers and can easily operate most small…

Pros
  • Reduces noise at higher ISO sensitivities. The Super Slow Motion Video feature records high-speed video for slow-motion playback.
Cons
  • Little things
