Disappointing digital camera from Canon

Using this product, our team found that the image quality is below average and nowhere near what you would expect from Canon electronics. The user interface is quite clunky and not easy to navigate, making it frustrating to use. The only positive aspect of this camera is its small size and portability. Overall, we wouldn't recommend this particular digital camera.

Pros
  • Compact and lightweight design makes it easy to carry around.
Cons
  • Requires power outlet

. 6 year old Powershot has stopped working but I'm happy with it

My old 6 year old Powershot has stopped working but I'm happy with it. So I bought this. It has better zoom. The 12x zoom is great for the price. I'm lazy, so I want a camera that can take great pictures in automatic mode. I think Canon does a good job here, which is good because the menu settings can be tedious to learn. It takes better pictures than my Galaxy 5s phone and some of the other point and click cameras I've used. Not as good as the larger, more expensive cameras, but they cost…

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • Available in black only

Bought this camera mainly because it fits in my shirt pockets - it's the 3rd camera in this general line up from the gun that I have my own and it works well enough for my needs, the only issue I have is fairly slow autofocus and trouble getting it to lock in less crowded/bright daylight, the camera but I've had 2 memory card failures while using it I've had failures before but never 2 in just over a month - not sure if it's camera related or just an accident with bad cards (both were bought…

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Everything great
