This camera is great. Image stabilization works well. There is minimal lag after pressing the shutter. This is the widest lens you can find in a compact Canon camera. Check out Ken Rockwell's reviews and guides on his site. It's better to read his stuff and see his examples instead of trying to read some boring manual. The wide-angle was the most important factor which made me go for this model than other Canons. This is THE best camera I've used. I also have a Panasonic Lumix TZ3 which is also a wide-angle camera, but Canon wins in everyway. The pics are stunning, and because of this point-n-shoot, I bought a Canon DSLR (rather than a Nikon). The camera is also fast and the available user modes are sufficient under most conditions. I also like the macro images with this camera. I would recommend this product readily, or udated versions that will come in the future. I've had this camera for a couple of years. Actually, I currently own the replacement I purchased after dropping the original into the water while kayaking! Easy to use, takes awesome photos, the setting choices make it easy to get great shots in any situation. The wide-angle feature allowed me to get the ENTIRE cruise ship in one shot! It's small and easy to carry. I can't say enough good things about it. I've found, with previous cameras, that it's difficult to see the image screen in bright sunlight. Having the view finder on this camera is a huge plus. You lose a small amout of size for the screen, but you gain the ability to line up photos in any kind of lighting, which is a major benefit. I can't see EVER upgrading this camera. It is PERFECT! I took my Canon sd800 in the waterproof case WP-DC9 thru the rapids in the Grand Canyon in May of last year. The camera worked flawlessly in spite of banging around in the rapids and camping 6 nights on sand bars. It is still working flawlessly! Jo Pros- Great picture quality, 2. Wide-angle lens, 3.Color Accent feature works well, 4. Image stabilization is VERY useful. 5. fairly good-looking, dials not too complicated to use. I general, a good camera to buy. Cons- LCD display may show weird colors in direct sunlight. Pictures turn out fine, but screen looks weird at times. Price fluctuates, I bought it for $199.94 on Amazon. Now the price is more than $400. I don't think it's worth $400, but DEFINITELY a great deal if you pay anything less than $275. But then again, other cameras have probably become more expensive too. I bought this camera more than a year back. it has some useful features that many other cameras in this range don't. The most attractive thing for me was the wide-angle lens. For a camera of this range, the zoom is pretty much the same for all models. 3x and 4x dont make a huge difference for photography that most people do- landscapes, parties, portraits, people in front of scenery etc. But the wide-angle is very useful for all this. The camera has some interesting features like 'Color Accent'. I used it quite a bit. It gives a great effect to pictures. Check out the pictures provided by other users. The clarity of pictures is great. Don't go for more mega-pixels unless you want to jump to a much higher class of cameras. even with 7.1 the quality is great and the image size of more Mpix becomes too much to handle, especially emailing and uploading on websites. In a nutshell, but don't pay too much for it. Equivalent Nikon coolpix models are not as good, but might work better for you if they are much cheaper than this model.
