Price Paid:
$200.00
from mail order Summary: Could not beat it for focal length (I hate short lenses), aperture, Best Shot Dial flexibility. The first one I bought, without date/caption, was in for repairs so often that Canon replaced it with a date/caption model. The first onegobbled batteries, but the date/caption gives excellent battery life. Excellent auto focus (my 1st camera with this feature. Strengths: Fast lens. Long lens. Power zoom. Flexible exposure control. 4-second max exposure (in night mode) to 1/2000. Outstanding value. Tripod thread. Timer. Weaknesses: I would like to be able to turn off the flash much easier than the gymnastics involved in opening the flap door and repeatedly hitting a miniature button. The LCD is not lit, so I need 3 hands to hld a flashlight, hold open the door, and tap the miniature button. Aggravating.
Still get red-eye in photos. So its large; it does what I want it to do. Easy to block light with right index finger. would like ''OFF'' position color-coded on dial. Similar Products Used: None, but shopped many models. Most were slower aperature, shorter focal length, slower lens, not as flexible. Customer Service: After too many returns to Canon, they did replace the camera. Fortunately, I lived near the repair center near Bloomingdale IL.
