Not at all what I expected.Terrible!

Today I bought an sx 230 to replace it, I expected that I would shoot better videos, after the purchase I was very disappointed, the video quality is slightly worse than in the sx 230, the sound is much worse. I'm disappointed that this model doesn't make better videos. Got pros: The photo quality is better than in the sx230 and the zoom is larger. Cons below: The video quality is like in the sx 230 model or even worse, the sound is worse than in the sx 230 model.

This camera is amazing. Takes great pictures

This camera is fantastic. Takes great pictures even in low light. You can download an app to take a photo by pressing a button on your phone and even see what your camera sees on your iPhone. Absolutely awesome!

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Hard to say

Great but a bit difficult to use.

Nice photos, too many functions, great video. The interface isn't intuitive, but if you read the instructions, you'll be able to figure everything out. Key labels are weird. I tried the Wi-Fi download feature but it seemed cumbersome and slow. Unfortunately, the camera doesn't come with a download cable, but with a bit of effort I found one at Staples; I needed a mini USB cable on one end and a regular USB cable on the other.

Pros
  • understandable even for the old ones
Cons
  • I don't have much animosity against it, everything is fine

Great little camera!

This was a GREAT camera for my daughter! She took it with her on her missionary journey and everyone she serves wants copies of HER photos because they are the best! We almost doubled the price for another camera but she loved it and I'm so glad I saved the money! We didn't understand how to work with Wi-Fi, upload photos to the cloud or email, since it's not always in a Wi-Fi zone. I hope that we can start this soon. Thank you for a great camera, Canon!

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Good, But Not Great - Point and Shoot Digital Cameras

I liked the ease of shooting video with this camera. I was looking for a digital camera that I could use while on horseback and walking the trails. This one does well, but not great. I take 200-300 shots per ride to avoid shaky shots. I would like better image stabilization. I haven't found anything better than my old Fujifilm S700 that died. Even Fuji cameras can't shoot on the go as well as this old camera :( So if you can still focus and shoot then this camera will probably be very good…

Pros
  • Holding my fists
Cons
  • Annoying

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER CAMERA COLLECTION

I was trying to register this item on the Canon website to access the image upload download and found that it was a fake Canon camera. Canon cameras are made in Japan and the serial number does not start with a C. This camera says "Made in CHINA". DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER. The only reason I knew it was fake was because I tried to register and then googled what the serial numbers started with. spent my money I bought this camera for my newly formed media production company. The picture…

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

Excellent quality, light, compact and durable except in the rain.

This is my second one because I love this camera. (The first was destroyed in heavy rain on Jekyll Island). It's easy to use, which is important to me. I don't know much about gadgets, actually I hate this junk. I appreciate that this camera doesn't require too many steps for one action. I've dropped it many times and it's still perfect. I love how easy it is to transfer it to my phone for Instagram (which is my main goal). Sometimes I have to climb or walk, so being able to put it in my pocket

Pros
  • Fits many
Cons
  • Weight

Can't be used out of the box

Don't send this as a gift unless you're buying all the crap you need to make it work. Mine arrived without a memory card - the instructions say almost nothing about what/how/where to get it, just that it should be. Came without a USB cable so I still couldn't transfer photos to my computer as I don't have wifi but wired internet. The instructions on using Wi-Fi to transfer images are very complex, so it's just as good. You would think that for $200 the seller could at least make it usable when…

Pros
  • High marks for tester support and durability
Cons
  • Pretty much everything is fine

Everything about the purchase suits me, a very necessary product.

Before this compact, I used other brands, this is my first Canon. It was recommended to me by a friend who knows about cameras. I needed a family camera, easy to use with an excellent and lively picture) This camera did not become a disappointment, but quite the opposite. It is fully automatic, you don’t need to adjust anything to get high-quality pictures, it’s fast in operation, which is very, very convenient !) Thanks to good stabilization, the photos are always sharp, the detail is at the…

Pros
  • Excellent photo quality, Full HD video, 18x zoom
Cons
  • not at all

Poor quality, not suitable for use.

I was very upset by the noise in the photographs, even in daylight. Focus is a little blurry. You can imagine - on iphone 5 photos are better in clarity and color. The camera was returned to the store a few days later. At first I thought that the problem was in the firmware, but there was no new firmware on the official website. It seems that the problem is at the software level of processing.

Pros
  • Design
Cons
  • Photo quality, focus.

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

I don't understand why there are such bad reviews. It feels like we are talking about different devices. The photo quality is very good. It's pretty decent for a soap dish, especially if you fiddle around with the settings. I can compare, they changed several soap dishes. We did an amateur portrait photo session - the quality of the pictures was a pleasant surprise, very close to the DSLR. But unfortunately, the camera was drowned in the sea after 3 months of operation. However, he survived…

Pros
  • I liked everything: image quality, design, wifi. Macro photography is excellent, good color reproduction.
Cons
  • Not found. Although, if you really find fault, the menu for setting and switching modes is not very convenient. But you quickly get used to it.

Product is unreliable, just don't buy it.

Before him, there was Olimpus SP500UZ and Canon SX130is - and so they have twice as good sneakers, even though the cameras are already old. Olympus sold because of the size + outdated, and the canon was broken by a child. I bought a 610 with the inscription made in Japan, I think that I was lucky and the pictures will be normal, unlike the Chinese version of this camera. But no. the noise in the photo is strong, you can shoot only in semi-automatic mode, so that at least somehow it turns out…

Pros
  • Dimensions, WIFi connection, photos are quickly uploaded to a laptop, zoom (because of him we chose this model)
Cons
  • Image quality is below average! Noise even at iso100 is very large, slight blurring throughout the frame.
