Rating : - Excellent Compact Camera
This was my first digi cam hence i was very careful to choose the best one in the compact cameras. I had read reviews, seen samples and finally got this camera. And it turned out to be exactly as i had expected. This is by far the best SD camera in canon.
Pros : Compact, good lens,good IS, Flash works brilliant in dark places/indoors,good performce in terms of speed of point n shoot, good picture and color,good video shooting,the scenics modes are great, good nightmodes etc
Cons: No battery meter,would have been great if optical zoom was more than 4X
Bottomline is....for a point n shoot camera this camera works wonders much better and crisp clear picture and color than sony point n shoots.
