An amateur’s opinion,
I’m no pro and didn’t want to spend big bucks on a high end camera but I like to take a lot of pictures to record vacations, events, etc.
I’ve had this about a year now and I am happy with it.
I don’t think the battery life is as bad as it’s cracked up to be.
I made it through the grand canyon and took at least a hundred shots in one day.
I will agree that the battery price is steep and you really need to have a spare just in case.
The only time the pictures get fuzzy is with the flash turned off.
I have conditioned myself to either leave it on or remember to be extra steady with it off.
Compared to my last camera (Kodak EZ-Share), the picture color and quality is 100X better.
I really can’t say anything bad about it. It’s compact, has a hi-zoot zoom, a plethora of pixels, and some cool effects you could only find on $800+ cameras a couple of years ago.

Very good specs for a point and shoot,
The Canon PowerShot line has always put out very good cameras in my opinion and I believe this no exception. I certainly am no expert in photography but I would imagine anyone who is would not be in the market for this camera anyway. Operate under no illusions when purchasing this model – it is ultimately a simple point and shoot. Now just a quick run down of some major pros and cons.
Pros: What really sold me on this camera is the 10X optical zoom. That is a very hard find among the Elph line of cameras. The LCD screen is beautiful and the battery life runs pretty strong. But really, I must go back to the 10X optical. That feature and that alone I feel is what really sets this Elph apart from comparable models.
Cons: I would have to start a lack of a wide angle lens. This detract from some of the picture quality in certain settings. As for features I would say the decision to place a one-click hit ‘record video’ button right next to the LCD screen instead of having it as a feature along the top of the camera as it used to be was something short of awful. I cant begin to tell you how many times I have accidentally recorded 30 second clips of me looking at nothing in particular. The whole setup is not as intuitive as I would prefer overall to be honest.
On the whole, this is still an excellent point and shoot and I intend to get plenty of use out of it for the next 2-3 years before something comes along and forces this into obsolescence.
