(4 out of 5) by Ds Roberts on Jan 23, 2009 (Milton Keynes)I have had this cmera for about six months now. I am pleased with it.
The good points:
Internal flash quite good.
Well built;/solid feel.
Great zoom.
Great video.
Quick start up.
It takes four AA batteries-rechargeable save money but you are not tied to a specific battery
Tilt view screen useful, I didn't think I would use it.
Bad points:
Lens cap never stays on. Really annoying. (Canon makes cameras right?)
The batteries struggle with the flash. It takes time to charge up the flash.
I like this camera it it not a DSLR but it is cheaper and the zoom is great. You have to pay alot for this on a DSLR
Yes this is a compromise but the price compared to DSLR is so much cheaper.
