Complete Waste of Money

After trying this electronics product, I must say that I am thoroughly disappointed with the results. The images captured were blurry and lacked any real clarity that I had hoped for. The battery life was extremely poor and barely lasted for an hour! However, the only slightly redeeming quality was its lightweight design, making it easy to carry around. Overall, I do not recommend this digital camera as it does not live up to the standard of other cameras in its class.

Pros
  • High-quality 12.1 megapixel sensor for excellent image quality, even in low light conditions
Cons
  • Limited manual control options may limit its appeal to advanced photographers seeking more customization options

Great Camera

I love this camera. A few years ago I took my DSLR along with my lenses on a trip to Scotland. Made a lot of great shots. Now we're going to Germany and I'll be damned if I'm carrying all this gear. I bought this camera after a long search. I wanted the best camera I could get in a small form factor. There are high-end cameras, but they're bigger than I wanted: thin, light, small.

Phenomenal value for a used camera.

I decided to buy one of these to upgrade two cameras: Canon PowerShot A2300 and Canon PowerShot A3000IS. The budget was very tight and that didn't stop me. I took a few test shots and a few test videos, tweaking the settings to my liking over time, and I'm very happy with the quality of the photos. The BSI CMOS sensor that this camera is equipped with definitely works wonders in low light, producing about half the noise of the A3000IS, which uses a CCD sensor, at the same ISO. The a2300 would…

Pros
  • Hi-Speed USB 2.0; HDMI; SD card slot (card not included)
Cons
