Pros: Durable, reliable, long battery
Cons: Requires time to focus, blurry pictures
Overall: - Great point and shoot camera for only a couple hundred dollars
- Problems focusing though, I had the higher version and it could point and shoot great pictures, however this camera requires you to hold the button half way to focus and then shoot
- A number of pictures turn out quite blurry as a result of this
- Durable though and the battery last a long time
Purchased at: Dick Smith Electronics

Pros: Small.
Light.
Cheap - but more expensive than better offerings from rivals.
Available in a range of funky colors, if that is your thing.
Takes pictures (barely).
Cons: View finder is a joke it is so small.
No hand grip, so no really secure way to hold it.
Under powered flash.
Negligible build quality (that is, Canon neglected to provide it with any).
Screen is not bright enough for outdoor use - strange thing to have on a camera.
Overall: I was so unimpressed with this Canon I gave it back and bought a Panasonic, which actually feels like it was put together by someone what takes photographs, unlike the Canon, which looks like it was designed and constructed by the marketing department without any input from engineering.

Pros: Easy to use & takes nice clear photos with very natural colours. Videos are very clear with good sound too. Lithium ion battery lasts very well.
Cons: Macro photos are very disappointing. Camera has a lot of trouble focusing on the subject whatever focus mode you choose. Camera can be a little fiddly to use if you've got big fingers and it's not too easy to grip. Download port cover is quite flimsy.
Overall: Very good quality camera that's great for taking clear colourfull photos and movies. Most of the time you can just leave it on "Auto" mode and you'll get great results. If you need a spare battery you can get new ones on ebay from China or Hong Kong for about $2! My 'cheap' spare battery lasts longer than the Canon original.

Pros: Great lens. Great shots. Fun to use. Compact and beautiful design.
Cons: Night shots and low light aren't so good.
Overall: One of the best slimline compact digital camera today. It has a long lasting bettery, doesn't take too long to charge and it captures great photos for any occasion. Canon has always been well known for its photo quality and this camera never lets me down. The features and options are pretty decent. Great design, robust, feels solid and still compact. The night shots aren't the best but still not bad compares to its competitors. Overall, canon has the best lens and take crisp and clear photos under good lighting and it is very easy to use.

Pros: Fairly compact and handy. Neat design. Exceptionaly clear and vivid pictures in daylight
Cons: Terrible for night/low light scenery (as are most digital cameras). A little expensive and lacking in some features for photo settings (e.g. limited exposure options).
Overall: Very good all round camera with an extremely long lasting battery. It has the ability to capture videos too. The quality of the design is excellent as it feels solid and reliable. Furthermore, the design is also quite attractive. The picture quality is amazing, especially if taken during the morning or with good lighting. Other cameras are higher than 8 MP but that won't matter as the lens quality of canon cameras are great

Pros: great little camera. good for happy snaps. battery last for ages. its pretty cheap and comes in heaps of colours. my sister and i both have one and we love them. the photos are clear and even moving shots are pretty clear.
Cons: nothing i dislike about this product so far and i've had it for almost a year.
Overall: Really easy to use, just point and click. Takes really fast clear photos and the battery lasts for ages. i had a pentax and did not like it at all. i would definitely buy a cannon camera again. highly recommend this product!!
