Great optics; zoom lens up to 155mm gives it great versatility; many different shooting modes are quite useful; personal setting remembers any mode you set up

Reliability?

This is a great little camera. I wanted a small camera that I could take anywhere and use for snaps. The photos are very sharp for a point and shoot. Reliability may be an issue: after 18 mo. or so, the auto film speed detector wouldn't work, and the camera had to be sent back to Canon for repair.

Customer Service

The camera was repaired in 2 weeks; pretty fast.

I wouldn't use earlier versions of sureshots because the sharpness was terriable. This one is sharp enough to satisfy experienced photographers.

Small, light, good flash and zoom, simple layout with flexibility of a dial that allows you to switch based on circumstances of your picture (which very few P/S camaras have), sharp results

Date and caption features are a waste for more advanced users

I just purchased this camara to compliment my SLR. I was wanting something small and light to carry around on site seeing trips as opposed to carrying my big camara bag and this little guy was a blessing. Granted, I've only had one roll developed, but I put the camara through very different tests and I was quite happy with the results. The results are a tad below those of my SLR.
