General Comments
I have been taking photographs for 50 years and have owned dozens of small and large format cameras. When I think of all the extra gear that I used to carry around to achieve the type of results that the Canon PowerShot produces; one cannot ask for much more. I take a lot of pictures of animals and birds and find that the 2.4fps mode to be very useful. I have a 2gb card so the 776 shots at SL quality is a decent quantity. If I am taking night shots at full zoom, I usually set the self timer to 1 second which does help. The results with the image stabilizer on are always sharp. I have used all the facilities on the camera in the one month of ownership and have found them all to be very good, especially the "Swap Colours" and "Colour Accent" modes. A set of batteries will last for over 500 shots before recharging and being AA's is a bonus. I have taken over 5000 pictures in the one month of ownership and have not found any faults. "MY LENSCAP DOES NOT FALL OFF!" which appears to happen with some users. Looking forward to many more years of use with this camera.
On average, people found this review very helpful
