The camera is stylish and easy to use. It features a number of different modes for different scenery and settings. The screen is large and therefore easy to focus on what you are taking.
The camera isn't as slim linned as most other cameras, therefore it wouldn't fit in a pocket if you were just carrying it around.

Bob, Cardiff, “keen amatuer photographer”
Face recognition and auto exosure/focus etc make it hard to fail
I miss not being able to look through a viewfinder

I found the Powershot Cannon digital Camera very good to look at and very easy to use. I am not a Camera Buff but I found it very easy also how to put the pictures onto my Computer. Would recommend it to my friends.

Lovely looking, compact, easy to use, xcellent image quality for what i wanted to pay.
Only problem I can see is that you cannot delete multiple pictures; it has to be done individually, which is very time consuming. Otherwise, really lovely product. Would be good if it came with a case too.

Anita, Halesowen, “New to Digital Cameras”
Great image quality, easy to use, well made and sturdy. Has good extras like face recognition. This is a very good camera if you just want to point and shoot but it also has good features like Sun Set and Black and White if you want to play.
A little larger than some digital cameras and a bit heavier. Viewing screen is difficult to see in bright sunshine frankly if Canon added a view-finder to this camera it would be pretty near perfect.

Easy to use for an amateur wanting quick "happy snappy" photographs. Lots of additional features for more advanced photography work.
I miss a viewfinder and have had to purchase a screen shield for use in sunny conditions as the screen cannot be seen.

Good value for money. Battery life is extremeley good with the use of re-chargeable Ni cad batteries. Camera is easy to use once you have understood and read the manual. There are a lot facilities.
Led screen virtually unusable in sunlight. Flash can only be turned off as an option. Turning the camera off re-sets to on.to Whilst it is easy to use, you need to read the manual well. There is no supplied manual (CD only). Bought this for my wife as a point and shoot. She went back to her "old" Fuji.

Very light and easy to use, the software that comes with it is exceptionally easy to use, even for beginners.
Can be hard to hold as very smooth, a little bit of rubber grip would get round this

It very stylish in a funky green colour and is very simple to use.
Although from the front, it looks small and compact, the depth of the camera is quite weighty. This was not a problem, I just didn't expect it.

easy to use, especially for amateur photographers. works well in all weather conditions as i took it on holiday. has a good flash.
high powered so batteries constantly needed. would suggest buying recharger kit.
