Compact, easy to use, canon brand, stitch feature for panoramic shots, manual features.

no major problems. if you are shopping for quality digital images, go for a higher resolution. but in my opinion, this is the best 2MP on the market (and cheaper than the S300 where the only difference is the zoom)

I have been an amateur photographer for 10 years and have owned various SLRs. So I bought this camera more for fun than for serious photography. It is excellent for what I bought it for. Takes great quality digital images and movies with audio. Also very small so you can bring it with you to parties or events. It has manual features but if you really want quality images, you should be using a 35mm SLR. This camera was not maid for professional quality images.
