Summary: A great camera for the money
Comment: I had a higher end canon before, but when I was in Vegas, some sand got into the zoom motors and well, its no longer with us.. I had a trip to NYC planned, so I bought this as a replacement..
I have to say, I wasn't disappointed. Even in Times Square at night, this did a great job. So many great modes to pick from, and great stabilization. 8MP is more than enough for me, I set it down to 5 to save memory, and the pictures are nice and crisp and clear.
As others have pointed out, the AA batteries are such a huge feature. I have friends with HP cameras that use special battery packs. I laugh as their packs go dead, while I can walk into any store and buy a pack of AA and get back to the picture taking fun :)
Its much smaller than my old camera, so I don't need a big bulky bag for it, but I get just as nice pictures out of it. I'm so glad I got this one.

Summary: Excellent
Comment: I've had the camera about a month. The ONLY drawback is still the time to save the photo (especially with flash on) to the card. Wish THAT was a little faster. I bought a san media 2gb card...extreme III. Anyway, the camera itself takes great photos. My only regret is that I don't have enough time to take photos and truly explore all the customizations available to shutter, aperture and iso. I'll get there, too! I recommend this camera. It's small enough but not too small to hold comfortably. Got a cheap case at Target for about $6 or $8 dollars (don't remember) and it's perfectly adequate. Batteries last long enough - use the rechargeables.

Summary: Dissapointed
Comment: This camera I returned, as the person it was meant for as a birthday gift, decided they wanted an SLR! But, having checked it out, I was disappointed it was out of **parallax by about 30%. That to me, is completely out of order, even for a viewfinder camera. I wrote to Canon, but their response did not impress me. All they did, was to suggest a viewfinder camera would not be as accurate as an SLR. I checked out other Powershots in stores, and the problem was the same. I guess most people use the preview screen to take shots these days, but the viewfinder is better in bright sunlight and for a quick snap-shot. I used to test cameras, so I know a bit about the parallax problem you get with viewfinder cameras. But I repeat, to be so far out is unacceptable, and defeats the object of having a viewfinder in the first place. So, if you intend to use the viewfinder, forget about buying a Powershot. Sadly, this model is one of the few point and shoots that still use a viewfinder. A suggestion, go for a EVF camera, a sort of mid-point between a point and shoot, and an SLR.
**This means what you see through the viewfinder, and what the sensor sees is out by about 30%

Summary: 6X PowerShot
Comment: This camera has, to date, lived up to all our expectations, in spite of the fact it initially had some foreign material on the surface of the photo sensor internal to the camera. This was discovered in the images after about a week of use.
The unit was quickly cleaned/repaired by Canon (less than a week from date of return to back home). They even covered all shipping costs both directions to the repair depot.
It is exceptionally light due to its use of only 2 AA rechargeable batteries for power.
The 6x lens, Image Stabilization, 8 mega pixel resolution, and 1600 ISO capability in one package make it a great value for its size and price.
