Pros: good battery life, Good Low-Light Performance, excellent image quality, durable, Bright LCD, Lightweight/Portable, Simple controls/menu, easy to use
Cons: Missing features/settings, no sound (video)
I use this camera to shoot photos for my social networking photo albums. With this camera and Adobe Photoshop, the possibilities are virtually endless regarding what you can do with respect to the capabilities of a general consumer product. For the most part, I am happy with the photos that I shoot with this camera as long as the subjects are within range. Close-ups and distance photography is not ideal with this device. And though video is an option, that feature is useless without the ability to record and playback sound.

This camera was given to me as a gift. The quality is outstanding, both in the pictures and durability. I have never had a camera that can withstand the punishment that this one has gone through. I have owned this for 2 years, and it has been dropped over 3 dozen times. Has withstood extreme heat and cold. I have taken over 5000 pictures with this one and it has never failed me in any lighting situation. I will buy another Canon when this one finally gives up. I have been very impressed with this model
