Comments about Canon Canon Powershot SD950 IS Digital Elph Camera, 12.1 Megapixels, 3.7x Optical Zoom, 4x Digital Zoom, 2.5" LCD Screen, Silver:

This is not only a camera I can hide in my pocket for quick use at a meeting or a family dinner, but it serves as an infallible backup for travel and nature photography. In fairly critical analysis, I see no significant difference between prints (up to roughly 11x14") using my 5D or my SD950. I think beyond that enlargement size, there is a slight degradation of image quality. The image-stabilization feature allows low light photography of quite good quality.

Comments about Canon Canon Powershot SD950 IS Digital Elph Camera, 12.1 Megapixels, 3.7x Optical Zoom, 4x Digital Zoom, 2.5" LCD Screen, Silver:

Excellent, durable little camera. I'm surprised I haven't heard more buzz about this one. Movie mode is great; lots of features I haven't even mastered yet. I have a dSLR and several point and shoot cameras. This is a great, all around small camera to keep with you. Very nice quality photos and 12 mp gives you plenty of room to crop if you want to zoom in more.

I use the camera mainly for underwater photography. It has an underwater setting, and the Image Stabilization makes the macro shots come out absolutely amazing! I can't recommend this camera highly enough
