I bought this camera just before Christmas and was dying to take it on a trip to Vancouver Island the first week of January. He exceeded all of my expectations. I watched many movies and found it very easy to download and continue shooting beautiful landscapes. Our last camera was an Olympus APS. Nice, small and much more portable, so I was a little worried about Canon's portability. However, once we started sightseeing, we didn't even think about it. it is here and there with no side effectsโฆ
