- Reviewer left no comment

+ easy to use operation instructions easy to follow

- none at the moment

+ Good quality finish, easy to use and the image quality is brilliant.

- The screen and body of camera are constantly covered in smeary finger marks - dont forget to get a lint free cloth!!

+ Compact, easy to use - just point and shoot. Fantastic size screen. Video quality is surprisingly good for a compact camera.

- Some of the menu and settings are hard to find at first, but once you find them, you'll know where to look next time.

+ Great build quality, just the right size for a camera of this type. Looks 'boxy' initially but feels very comfortable in use. Big LCD which is crystal clear. Menu options are all on-screen and pretty intuitive.

- None found so far - usual meagre memory on the standard card - why do they bother?

+ small and compact. good picture quality. screen big enough to see subject

- graphics on back quite small to read.

+ slick, attractive. great screen.

- sometimes pictures appear blurry with zoom..but i am probably not that brill at using it yet only been a couple of weeks and the use has not been that excessive to date

+ Large viewing screen, good features. Easy to use.

- It looks a bit boxy.

+ Great camera great quality pictures

- Takes a while to find out all that it does - would be better with paper manual instead of on a disc

+ product fine & has replaced a stolen Canon.

- Needs a more detailed booklet for those without computers.

+ Easy to use, great screen, good features.

- Not cracked effective red eye yet.

+ Excellent image quality, light, easy to operate, no fuss.

- The metal front of the camera easily rubs and scratches, but then it is designed to take a few hard knocks.

+ It seems easy to get good results even before you have learned how to use the finer points

- A pity there isn't printed information on how to use it so that one doesn't have to go to the computer screen each time one wants to learn a further point.

+ Great quality photo's. Small and compact yet robus design. Great features especially the colour adjustment features which can set the mood to your photos. Good clear LCD screen

- None found as yet

+ Compact and smart looking, with good quality feel and is easy to use.

- None (so far)

+ Small size
Easy operation
Picture quality
Rapid start up

- No viewfinder

+ Compact camera and great quality

- For this price it should at least come with a case

+ Large screen

- Little of note!

+ Easy to use compact camera that produces excellent pictures, good firm build quality gives the cameras a very reassuring feel to the camera.

- The lens like all the others at of this type gives a wide equivalent of 35mm which in confined spaces is quite often not wide enough.

+ it was excactly what we were looking for and came highly recommended

+ Really easy to take pictures and video clips within seconds of turning on. Nice big clear screen, good viewing angle and works well in low light. The best bit is strangers find it easy to use so you can get group pictures that are not out of focus with you in it.

- Slightly fiddly menu system and videos clips are very large in size. I use a 16gb media card and took around twenty-five 3 min video clips and it used up most of the storage space! Canon need to use a more efficient video codec.

+ Fantastic little camera - well made and easy to use, with excellent image quality

- None that I can see....

+ easy to use, good quality photos nice digital camera

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Really easy to use, great quality pics lots of good functions etc good sized lcd screen

- no view finder - could be a probolem if you take alot of photos in bright sunshine as lcd screen only

+ Easy to use.

- Zoom could be better.

+ Can just point & shoot if you want, or use the features.
Compact size.
Good quality.

- Features a little over complicated for this type of camera, and not as intuitive as others I have tried.
Supplied SD card totally inadequate, they might as well not bother including it.

+ I spent a long time researching what camera I wanted to by; I'm not an expert photographer or anything but I love playing around with them and it was important to me to get a good quality one. My previous camera had been the model before this and I loved it, unfortunately I made the mistake of taking it on nights out and university and after many drops it finally broke. However, this is such an upgrade. Far superior, with many more features that I have yet to discover but also don't feel the need to just yet. I love Canon's and will continue to by them. They have excellent battery power and the photo quality is incredible, with crisp images. My favourite feature so far is 'Macro Digital' which astounds me with its precision.

- The only thing I can possible think of is that the spin dial is a bit hard to maneuver and it can take a little longer than on the old model to change settings. But it is nothing particularly of note and I don't mind it. I read all the reviews on it and am glad I ignored the bad comments as none of them have been true for me.

+ screen size, looks, ease of use

- none

+ very easy to use, good clear shots even when subject is moving! battery lasts a long time aswell. sleek slim design, good size screen

- none really, no veiwfinder, manual on cd and not had time to read all of it

+ Easy to use

- Memory card supplied with it is too small. Would rather have paid extra to have a useful size memory than have to go out to buy it seperately

+ Handy, easy to use.

- Had to buy bigger memory card

+ Very light

- No camera case provided

+ very easy to use and fantastic picture quality

- none found yet

+ It's small enough to put in pocket, looks good, seems easy to use from a technophobe's point of view and gives great images.

- None yet but I mainly take my photos on holiday and not been yet.

+ Excellent overall quality and performance with a camera that is small and easily carried

- The rotary selection wheel is erratic and not easy to control to rapildy select new scene modes. Too much finger pressure and the wrong scene is selected - but maybe I have fingers like suasages at my age.

+ High megapixels, good size LCD, relatively light to carry

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Screen nice and large, good quality photos, different modes are good. Easy to use.

- Took me a day or two to find out how to use all the features as the instruction manual is only avail. on a disc, not in paper form.
Not the smallest of cameras(though not large) - just not the best pick if you want something particularly light and compact.

+ easy to use, long battery life (I like the fact that the battery is rechargeable). Solid metal body

- None yet

- Could feel a little more robust in build.

+ Excellent product, small compact, great colours and megapixel rating.

- Not as many features as the more bulky digital cameras, but thats to be expected.

+ Very compact, easy to use, extremely well built and excellent image quality. If you want a qulaity compact digital camera you can't go wrong with this

- None

+ High quality definition, good screen size and easy to configurate.

- Button is very sensitive and something annoys.

+ small light easy to use with excellent results

- None found so far except memory card included was far too small

+ very goog image quality, a lot of nice features and options, face detection and stabilisator, quick, reactive, and so elegant !

- no detailed user manual, the build material keeps marks and digit prints so it looks a bit dirty after an intensive use.

+ Small but with big picture screen. easy use buttons. lightweight. all round very good.

- not found any yet.

+ The digital macro feature, great for close ups of insects, flowers etc. And the time lapse recoring feature. Superb photos.

- None about the camera. But it is annoying that the manual is only on CD. With so many features it's difficult to remember everything. And a computer is not always available! Yje beach or a party for instance.

+ Familiar Canon controls, picture quality and versatility

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Very light and sleek. The auto options are enough for most settings.

- The jog dial is a bit fiddly because it's designed to be flush with the surface.
The flash sometimes needs to be turned off as the photos become overexposed!

+ Good viewing screen.

- I don't like the instruction manual on a disc but would prefer a hard copy so that it is easier to read and practice features on the camera, where I choose, rather than having to be at a computer..

+ I love the timelapse video option - great for making Benny Hill style videos!! Nice and easy to use and the buttons/wheel design works really well.

- Only that it isn't as fast as my Ixus 75 (which I lost). I guess that's down to the difference in megapixals. Still pretty darn quick though!!

+ This product produces fantastic pictures, very saturated, well exposed and pin sharp. The build quality is excellent and it feels really solid in the hand. The 3" screen is superb and you can adjust the brightness with one button press which helps you see the screen even on bright days. It's excellent if you just want to point and shoot.

- Some people might find this a bit heavier than most other cameras in it's class. There are no manual settings to speak of which might hamper in tricky situations. Some of the buttons can be a bit fiddly and some of the options, like deleting photos, aren't very intuitive.

+ stylish and great photo quality

- slightly larger than average camera

+ Image quality

- The Apple-esque roller wheel isn't very easy to use.

+ Fantastic image quality!
the zoom was great!

- took a while for the zoom to focus

+ Large view screen,

-

+ large clear viewing screen, excellent image quality, all normal features - superb macro facility, faultless build quality, great value

- Small memory card provided - even as back-up. Excellent battery but expensive to buy back-up. Soft felt sock could be provided to protect camera, while in pocket, from minor scratches

+ Multi megapixels. Pictures can be enlarged. Robust. Well constructed. Big screen. Cheap.

- Bulky and hard-edged compared with today's IS models.

+ easy to use and a huge clear 3" screen

- no case supplied

+ Very easy to use, on auto, 90% of the photos are perfect, this is the only compact camera you wil ever need.

- Only one I can think of at the time, is the manual could be improved, mind you half the fun is findindg out what the camera can do, I think you will be very very suprised.

+ Excellent build quality, pictures which look amazing when displayed on my 50" TV, a ton of nice features and the best camera interface I have ever come across.

- Can't take pictures in black and white (can only change after you've taken them), in-camera red eye reduction software doesn't really work and the panoramic photo stitching thing is hard to get right.

+ large easy to see screen,even in sunlight,compared to previous camera

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Good solid design,Large viewing screen,Lots of features, Good quality pictures,Good compact size.

- Understanding how to operate all the various features [ you have to view the instructions on the disc on the computer]. I would have preferred an instruction booklet which i think would have been more convenient to refer back to.

+ speed when opening camera, instantly ready to take picture. When taking picture it does, not like my old olympus that thinks about taking the picture then the moment has gone.

- none, value for money, great compact, well recommended :-))

+ It is an excellent camera. I have nothing to compare it with apart from Sony Cybershot which was much more expensive. I much prefer the Canon and is happy with everything
