Pros: Extremely easy to use, gives fantastic photos, clear and sharp results.
Cons: Nothing, I like it a lot
Overall: We bought this instead of buying a digital SLR, and though it was somewhat expensive you really do get top notch quality photos as a result. We are extremely happy with this camera and if we had our time again would probably buy the same camera again.
Pros: wow 10 megapixel camera, great shots in all conditions, if you want the best results get this unit
Cons: could not find any faults with this unit
Overall: rolls royce of cameras... easily out performs most expensive slr cameras. very easy to use in all conditions. don't waste time and money on expensive slr cameras.
Overall: dont get me wrong , its not as good as a dslr, but just take a look at the features (canon website). my believe is thats its the best non-dsr camera available, especially because the lens dosent stick out either. great for keen amatures and pros alike. simply fantastic.
Overall: THE GOOD: Solid build quality. Face detection useful for posed shots. Optical image stabilisation. Compatible with a wide range of accessories. Accepts SDHC memory cards.
THE BAD: A plastic tube holds the lens. No 28mm wide-angle lens. Slower F2.8 compared with F2.0 on the G6. No RAW support. Unusable pictures at ISO 1,600.
OVERALL: Great camera! The LCD is nice, viewfinder though is pretty much useless in my opinion, definitely try before you buy if you use it. Front part when closed (where the lens is) seems a bit delicate making picking up the camera somewhat awkward. Using the camera is pretty simple to be honest, especially if you're familiar with Canon cameras - haven't had the need to refer to the manual! Just the right weight and size for my big hands and as an amateur would recommend getting this instead of an SLR to other novices. SLR's are just too heavy after a while.
