It takes decent photos with little help or instruction. I found its modes and settings to be more complicated than the 'regular' cameras settings it seems to be trying to shield you from, but in most cases it functions best to just point and shoot anyway. My real gripe is that it went dead the other day and it will cost me at minimum a third what I paid for it to even be diagnosed. In searching for a solution(of which I tried all available to me), I found that this is hardly an isolated case with the midpriced Powershot cameras and to be honest I will be looking elsewhere for a replacement. Excellent service. I have looked for this camera for a year. It arrived quickly and in great shape. I selected this camera because it gives some kind of manual control. I havnt been able to take the blurred background shots with this one because the settings are not that high. Other than that it works great. I use the underwater mode for the fall season and the colors just came out awesome. The flash takes about 3-4 seconds to reactivate so this camera is not good for taking quick shots at nighttime. The various modes give a lot of flexibility. I would definitely recommend the camera for its price. Good optical quality and a small size and price make this one of the best deals in digital cameras. The image stabilization is amazing. I have taken hand held telephoto shots in low light an have been amazed at the results. Dancing on the Edge of an Endangered Planet I can't get into any of the technical merits of this camera because I have no idea what any of it means. What i can tell you is that for an amateur to photography this camera is great! I bought it for my trip to Hawaii. It's easy to use and the pictures are amazing. You'll need to use rechargeable batteries and carry extras with you, but it's actually worth it since you can just recharge them. I really like this camera and recommend it if you just need to take pictures and are looking for something easy to use.
