Excellent camera
I've been into photography for more than 30 years and although I am not a professional, I do have some technical skill with the old SLRs. My first digital camera was a Nikon4300 which was the first generation of cameras of this type. It was an "ok" camera. Pictures came out decent but the lag time in between shots was annoying. It had "some" manual function which I liked but after 4 years of owning it I was ready to move up to something more similar to my old Minolta X700. So I decided to try this Canon and I'm not sorry I did. I've taken some great evening shots of NYC Times Square and I must say that they look fantastic!. I have pets and grandchildren who are always moving about and it's hard to get a great shot but this camera came through with flying colors! The auto focus and face detection is a life saver for sure. And it has all the manual controls I need to keep me busy with my creative side. All in all, this camera is a gem. It is "high end" for point and shoot and I'm just surprised that I paid the same amount for this camera as I did for the Nikon4300 (when it was new) but hey, that's technology for you.

lot of bang for the buck....
Powerful small camera,instruction booklet a Must read,,,A wonderful alternative,when my SLR becomes a little
to intimidating in the back streets and alleyways of Baltimore city and elsewhere...Image quality suffers @--
higher ASA options.....This is my third G camera.....Not much to report re. print quality as of yet.......
Always in my pocket.........................................

best point and shoot I have ever owned
This camera is for someone who knows what an F stop is, as well as aperture value. ISO speeds, RAW, exposure bracketing and more. If this is all Greek to you than move on, this is not the camera for you. This camera is for professional or amateur photographers who do not want to lug their big SLR with them everywhere. This camera has amazing quality and is very easy to use. It is also extremely flexible for people who know what they are doing. Exposure compensation, ISO, and shooting modes are all conveniently located on the camera with real actual dials. The camera looks and feels very classic. All black is beautiful. It's also metal and feels Hefty. Years ago when I used to shoot with real film cameras I could drop old Minoltas and Nikons and not be too worried. This feels like it might survive a small accidental fall. The design harkens back to some small miniature Lieca, Minox, or olympus models of long lost film models. James Bond might use this. It has a large battery and also a traditional viewfinder that even lets you focus it. The manual focus on the camera is it's weakest trait. You need to clumsily use the dial on the back. Had they only made the ring on the front adjust manual focus this would have been extra credit and A++. Still for a point an shoot to even have a manual focus option is great. This is a bit bulkier than the miniature card deck cameras available out there. It is still, in my opinion, small enough to put in your wife's purse, take to a wedding, and even place in ones suit pocket, minus the strap. You can buy add ons for this like a telephoto convertor and external flash. I guess if you only have this one camera and need as much flexibility as possible theses add ons could be helpful. I personally have a full frame SLR for all the times I need 100% flexibility, more lenses and such. I would only need the underwater case for this. Underwater cases for small cameras like this can be so much fun at pools and swimming at sea. All I need now is the Canon case, the underwater case and I'm set.

I am not sure why point and shoot cameras do not have the same frame proportions to current SLRs by Cannon. Perhaps someone can explain this to me. I am sure it has to do with sensor size, or printing sizes or something. Still, My 20 D and 5D Mark II both are wider while this and my older SD 750 have a more narrow, more square file format. This is a mystery to me. You can set this to current TVs 16:9 aspect ratio but that is wider than the traditional SLRs. This must be an industry thing. Also, it's not a huge deal. I can not criticize the camera for this since it seems to have it's origins in the industry or point and shoots in general. I only shoot with Cannons now so it remains true to other point and shoot frame file format size.

The rear screen is very big which is nice. You can also turn it off, which is nice too, especially when you are at a dark event where the lit up screen would be an annoyance to others. You can also disable the phony shutter click. For traditionalists who like that click, there are 3 versions to choose from. If only it had a photochemical darkroom smell. :)

All in all a great camera. The price here is excellent too. I overpaid at Best Buy.

I would like to add that Best Buy is charging $495.75 for this. They do not price match and on the phone a sales clerk lied to me and said Amazon sells only used equipment which is utter nonsense. Everyone please buy this camera from Amazon.
