Great for a quick snapshot. The auto focus is great. Wish the playback screen was a bit bigger...love the camera, tho'.

By far, the best pocket camera I've ever owned. Very fast power up to first shot. Automatically adapts very well to various shots and light levels. Only 4x zoom, but it's perfect for every day.

Poor color and pictures fuzzy. My 10 year old non-digital Canon took far better pictures.

Using it about 1 and half month - great pocket camera ! very intuitive controls, didn't open the manual yet, just didn't need it. Prefer to use it in the programmable mode, it has a lot of controls and features. This little camera does a great macro (much better then my Leica V-Lux 1 camera) I did use it for shooting jewelry for my internet listings, looking great ! Little bit slow and you have to wait a few seconds between shoots. Great picture colors. Better to use outdoors at daylight or indoor if you have a good light source because it poor in low light situations. The LCD screen is bright and clear. Like "fish eye" mode a lot ! Of course it can't replace DSLR but for the camera that you can always care with you it works great.

Great camera to take along with you on any trip. Small and compact. Doesn't have all the whistles but most people don't use them, otherwise get a SLR. Only con I have is that image stabilization could be better with moving objects.

This camera is fantastic for all types of photography. We have especially been using it for taking pictures of our 5, 3, 20month old daughters. The shutter speed is fast enough to catch the good shots, before they decide to move or change expressions.

It is really great and useful for someone like me who wanted to buy a DSLR, but have a very low budget. With regular camera, when you use flash, the photos will turn out not that good. But with this camera, if there are a little light at the background, and we use flash, the photos will look very beautiful. When I was in Las Vegas, I tried taking pictures with flash + the lights from the Eiffel Tower, and my photos were superb! For video: I would say that it is also superb because everything is recorded in HD.

The wife wanted a small quality camera she could carry in her pocket. This one meets the mark.

The style is fashionable and modern, but lack of touch screen. The photograph taking function misses panaroma. It's a pity when others firm such as Sony enclose this function following their medium product.

I bought this camera for my friend as a gift. She wanted a camera primarely to have in her purse when she goes out to parties, hiking, traveling... etc. I tried out the camera and I love the smile at the camera and it takes a picture... feature! The size is perfect and it is just over all a great little camera, I only tried it for a week but I would recommend it to a friend and also might be buying one myself.

This camera has great qualities and I am sure is a very satisfactory product. However, I returned the product immediately based upon its size. It is a very small camera and does not sit comfortably in an adult's hands. Love the size of the Powershot 990 for example.
