Pros: good battery life, Good Low-Light Performance, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, Bright LCD, Lightweight/Portable, Simple controls/menu, easy to use
I love the camera. Its sleek design and compact. Everything I needed in camera. Takes excellent pictures even in low light. It took me some time to get use to the touch screen which is very sensitive but I love it! I would recommend this to anyone looking for a cheap camera.

Pros: Good Low-Light Performance, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, durable, Bright LCD, Lightweight/Portable, Simple controls/menu, easy to use, simple elegant design
Cons: battery goes dead even when off
I like everything about this camera except one: If you leave the battery in the camera it goes dead in only a few days, even when the camera is turned off. If you remove the battery after each use it holds its charge OK.

Pros: Good Low-Light Performance, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, Bright LCD, Lightweight/Portable, Simple controls/menu, easy to use
Cons: Short battery life
My previous camera, Canon SD3500, was horrible! I hated the thing and the pictures were awful. This camera replaces that one and it is awesome! It takes excellent low light shots and the normal pictures are beautiful. The touchscreen is not iPhone-like but i don't expect my camera to be a phone. This is the 1st camera I have truly loved in awhile.

Pros: size, weight, wifi upload
Cons: slow readiness for next picture to be taken
I bought this camera because an old camera (SD450) which i loved so much was lost to a bus ride... I love the size of this camera and the features are the same as most small cameras. There IS a manual override for shooting adjustments (P). While is it a little on the slower side to be ready to take the next picture, I am okay with sacrificing that option for the weight and size of the camera. As always with Canon, the images are excellent.

Pros: small size
Cons: no manual override
I was really excited about this camera and then I found out that it has no manual override. I returned the camera. I can not use a camera this basic.
