    Love my Powershot Cameras

    I do like the camera. It is a replacement for my 12 year old Canon Powershot. It is so much lighter, that I was surprised. I think for the money, you could include a memory card and the attachment to hook the camera up to the computer to download photos. Fortunately, I could use my items from my old camera.

    Good for novice

    This a good starter camera. Has enough zoom for far away shots and enough depth for wide angle shots. Plenty of options for picture, color, etc. Have yet to print/share pics but instructions seem clear.

    Great point & click, but finicky wifi set up

    Great sized little camera with powerful zoom. Have not yet managed to get the wifi linkage with my laptop - finding the instructions somewhat lacking. Resorted to YouTube. Battery has to be charged more often than my last camera, may need a second one for backup.

    Really Nice Camera

    Very nice camera. Easy to use and takes really nice pictures. When you use the zoom it's hard to hold it still enough to avoid blurring, but a bi-pod fixed that issue.

    Not for use outside

    I wish I was able to try one before I bough it. When used outside, it is nearly impossible to see what you are photographing. If you zoom in to your subject and you are outside, forget about seeing it in the viewfinder. I would suggest that you buy a camera that doesn't use a screen like your smart phone to focus on your picture because you will not be able to. Please do not buy this camera unless you are shooting in the shade or inside.

    Great affordable camera

    Purchase a month ago and really like it. Very easy to use. Lots of neat features. Had a Coolpix for years but it was frustrating ...limited zoom and a delayed shutter reaction that always seemed to capture the photo one second after everyone quit smiling. So many neat features on this. Recommend highly downloading the manual from Canon because it gives greater details and instructions. Recommend it for anyone who doesn't want to spend months learning a bunch of features but wants more than a "point and shoot" camera.

    Great camera : From "Novice to Pro"

    This is a Great camera for any user, from the Novice to the Pro . Works very well with ALL type of photos, Social media to taking Professional pictures. The 42x Optical ZOOM is unreal for taking pics far away and still keeping high quality definion..

    Great camera

    Great camera so far. I haven't played with it too much but so far so good. It's lightweight too.

    Brand new and a bad sensor

    I purchased this for my daughter for Christmas. She took it out of the box for some Christmas pictures and noticed a vertical blue line down one the display. I downloaded some of the pictures and the line was on the pictures so the problem is with the sensor.

    Deal breaker

    There is no tripod socket? Well that is pretty close to being a deal breaker. It is especially true when the lens is not very fast either.

    It's a really good camera for the price, and it has a lot of cool features. Be sure to download the instruction manual to learn how to use all the features and how to use it properly. So far I love the zoom, how clear the pictures are, and the way the monochrome looks.
