Ok, so all the intelligences bla bla bla icontrast, iblink, ilaugh, icry, iiiiiiiiiiiiii, and canon ends up making a camera with HD movies but don’t you dare move or breath while recording or god forbid zoom: You will end up with a bunch of crackling sounds that are some of the most irritating especially when you realize it ruined a once in a liftime moment: ? class graduation, birthday ……
I do not want a camera that goes to the moon !!!!! I just want one that does a good basic job while on earth !!!!!!!!

I have searched the Canon website, wasted my time registering, going down to their customer support, ‘downloads and manuals’, an hour has passed and there are no manuals to be found. Who is in charge of this ridiculous company. Haven’t they heard of the internet?

I loved this camera for a year then the warranty expired and the lens stuck in the open position and it is not economical to fix. After doing some internet search for a solution I discovered this is a very common problem with dozens of Canon models, it is called error 811, there are entire websites devoted to just this problem. This camera is too expensive to only last a year, I have beautiful photos of the Italian coast, but I won’t be buying another Canon.

The auto setting on this camera produces the worst results of any digital camera that I’ve ever handled. Out of ten shots POSSIBLY two will be in focus, and they are either over exposed or under exposed. I had gotten this as a replacement for my Nikon Coolpix; the Nikon was my third coolpix and the battery door had broken on every single one of them. The coolpix is also rather slow, so I thought that I’d give the newest Canon powershot a try. What a colossal waste of money! The camera has yet to produce ONE acceptable photo and I’ve shot over a thousand in all kinds of lighting situations. Maybe if a person has the time to use every special function to set up each and every shot they might get something decent out of it, but if you want a “point and shoot” camera that takes great photos on the auto setting, then avoid this one at all costs!

As a mother of 2 young children with no inclination toward photography, I just needed a portable, point-and-shoot, catch-my-kids-in-action easy to use kind of camera. I owned an older Canon Elph for 5 years which I absolutely loved, so I was easily talked into this complete POS PowerShot. What a disappointment!! I absolutely DETEST this camera! Hate it! I find myself actually cursing it regularly.
It’s incredibly slow, has far too many settings for a mom on the go who just wants good pictures of her wild children, and no matter what I have it set to, it always misses the moment. Everyone who has tried it in an attempt to help me (including 3 photography-inclined friends) has had the same experience and they all conclude this camera sucks.
Heed my warning and find another option! This camera is a complete waste of money, and for a mom on a really tight budget, I’m completely bitter for having wasted my money.
