Review on Canon Powershot Digital Optical Rockstar by Emma Santos

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The camera is normal - not good when you travel a lot, although

First pluses: Large size and the screen is of very good quality. The picture quality is fantastic and the menus and options are intuitive and easy to set up. The camera also looks great and can be taken anywhere. The included docking station is very convenient for charging and transferring photos to a computer. The camera also looks very good. Now for the cons: The biggest problem, the battery! The battery life is a joke! The camera seems to be draining the battery even when it's turned off. If you remove the camera from the charger and leave it off for about 3 days, the battery will be dead. That's ridiculous! If you remove the battery it lasts much longer, so I wonder why the camera is draining the battery even when it's off. There's no battery indicator either, which combined with the short battery life forces you to take your charger with you everywhere, which is really bad if you're doing a lot of short trips where you wouldn't normally need to take a charger with you. All in all a good camera with some glaring usability flaws.

Pros
  • it's clear, even the old one
Cons
  • A few minor things
