from best buy Summary: Unfortunately I can not be as positive about this camera as the other owners.
Having owned it slightly over a year, I have found it to be noisy, slow to focus (shutter lag)and frequently yielding poor image quality, especially indoors. Often using the flash on inside pictures, I get round circles in the background or on the subject. Sometimes they are worse than at other times. Bottom line, you can't count on this camera. I've owned various Olympus digitals in the past and did not have these problems. I guess I'll go back to Olympus. Canon service offered little support and I purchased the extended warranty ($59 extra). I suspect that there is a design/electronic flaw but service says its dust particles.I can't buy that story. Strengths: Outdoor pictures are good.
Battery life is good.
Nice style, good feel. Weaknesses: Noisy...makes grinding noises when opening and closing.
Slow focus and shutter lag.
Poor image quality when inside with flash.
Canon service is poor... slow or no communication. Makes excuses rather than repairs.
Plastic parts somewhat flimsy. Similar Products Used: Olympus digitals D200, D300, D460Z Customer Service: Poor. Makes excuses not repairs.
