from Panafoto, S.A. Summary: I think this camera is excellent as a multi-purpose camera to carry around and take pictures to include in a blog. That is what I use it for.
The photographs of buildings, people, landscapes, foliage are absolute great. I never thought I could get so much in such a little camera with a budget price.
In Auto mode, your pictures come out as if out of the hands of an experienced photographer. Most of my pictures are on Auto Mode. Of course you have the option of many other modes such as Aquarium, Fireworks, Landscape, Beaches, Indoors and so forth.
Pictures taken in low light are not that good, but that's not my line of work, so it doesn't bother me. The 6X zoom works flawlessly and I use in continuously for detailed photos of buildings or faces.
If you want to grow in photography there a many manual options which gives you more control of your pictures. I haven't reached that level yet. I'm very satisfied with this camera and would recommend it to newbies with an enthusiasm to grown in photography. Strengths: Easy to Use.
Small and light to carry around.
Buttons are well placed.
Manual features for more picture control.
Excellent zooming capacity. Weaknesses: Complicated manuals difficult to understand.
Battery consumption is on the high side. Suggest you buy rechargeable batteries to protect your pocket.
Optical viewfinder only lets you view 80 percent of the scene. It tend to fool you. After a while you get used to it.
Noise at high ISO levels, like above 800.
Difficult to take photograph with low light.
Customer Service: I haven't used Canon's Customer Service Yet.
