I bought this to use alongside SLR camera. Its light and fit well in pocket. Very good picture quality in most cases. Battery life is not bad but using the GPS feature drains battery a lot. Overall this is a fine camera with a lots of fine feature and easy to bring along everywhere you go.

I purchased this product through my brother from US to India. But the major fault is the Flash unit not worked from the first day. I approach the service center in India but the cost of Flash Unit is tooo high.

I bought this camera a couple of months ago at a retail store to take with me whenever I don't have have the need for DSLR bulk. It's a great camera, the settings are intuitive and it's very easy to change from one shooting mode to another. The scene modes are terrific, and it even puts out good video quality. I have to disagree with the reviewer who said this camera doesn't produce sharp images. I've tested it with every setting, and the photos are simply outstanding, including in low light. The photos I've taken with the SX230IS have amazingly finite detail. Love it! At this price, it really doesn't get any better.

Great compact camera with lots of features. One of the best zooms on a compact camera. Easy to carry everywere and works good in low light.

Adorama did a great job of getting this to me way earlier than I expected to receive it! Love the camera, used it at a basketball game recently and got some great, clear pictures with this. upgraded from a canon elph sd600.

Wish it had a users guide in hard copy; i. e., a pamphlet!

I really like it. I have 3 other digitsl cameras, all bigger and more sophisticated. I wanted a good pocket camera and this with its 14X is perfect. Canon makes great cameras.

This is an excellent camera. I have SLRS of varying quality and sophistication. I wanted a good camera to stick in my pocket on trips and this is it. Canon did a great job with this. Only fault and it is not a big one, you have to remember to turn off the GPS when the camera is not in use...because it seems to drain your battery. And Adorama was superb.

I bought this camera for our trip to France and was very pleased with it. I was able to take pictures where flash was not allowed and the pictures turned out great. I was using a SDHC class 10 card. The only things I don't like about this camera are no viewfinder and the location of the flash. I adjusted to the flash so it really wasn't a problem. I am not a professional photographer but I prefer using the class 10 card as I have tried using the class 4 and was not as pleased with the photos. I had a Canon before so it wasn't hard to adjust to the new one.

For those times carrying a SLR isn't an option. The image stabilization is very good for a compact point and shoot.

I take garden photos and was disappointed in the quality of pictures. Pictures are only clear in the very centre, and blurry everywhere else, regardless of setting. Not like the old reliable Canon Sure Shot A70 we had for 5 years. This one didn't live up to the Canon quality we enjoyed for years. Sorry, two thumbs down on this one.
