Excellent – THis is such a great little camera. I bought it to replace another Canon IXUS as I wanted the wide-angle lens capability. My previous IXUS was a wonderful little camera but this one is even better. There are plenty of manual controls if needed, but set it to automatic and it takes a great picture. The only reason I would trade it in is to get the new version which takes HD movies. Superb build, excellent image quality, wide angle lens is terrific, nice big 3-inch screen, time-lapse movie capability, image-stability control.
