Nice Image Quality, Image stabilization, Video quality ans amzing ZoomDecember 1, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is my first ultrazoom camera. I have used in Macy's thanksgiving parade. Pros : -> Image Quality is good even in max zoom, Low light -> Image Stabilization works fine taking pic in max optical zoom -> Auto focus work fine. -> If you have understanding of Shutter speed and Appeture, it gives nice manual Control, if you dont know - Auto mode will take care of everything. -> I like flipping LCD, which helps me to take picture with raising my hands it helped me take pics in too crowded area where i was not able to see parade, taking my pic with flipping LCD at 180 degree. -> Video Quality is realy nice, and I was surprised by very clear Sound Quality which it capture with two microphones infront of camera.
Cons: Little bit bulky.But you have to pay prise for getting alle this above nice features.
Conclusion : Superb Camera with all Nice features..!
Finally, a High Quality Super ZoomNovember 30, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Many picture buffs like myself are torn between the weight, expense and size of many digital SLR's, and the increasing power and convenience of the near SLR portables. Hardcore travelers like myself know the convenience of throwing a camera in a case or backpack, and the hassle that the weight, care and feeding of an SLR can pose on such trips.
Fortunately, what I've seen so far is that the high quality of zoom shots is setting a brand new standard with this new camera from Canon. Earlier "super-zoom" models, or those with zooms in excess of 10x or 12x, suffered from image quality problems as long zooms strained the limits of the tiny processors needed to capture light and reduce the effects of vibration. All these negative effects increase exponentially with each increase in zoom power. It used to be that only the large lenses and higher sensitivity power of expensive SLR's solved this problem.
Processor sensitivity has finally caught up with the portable 20x optical zoom. Finally 100mm zoom power, without SLR expense and weight.
This is an EXCELLENT camera!November 30, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is an EXCELLENT camera! I highly recommend purchasing it if you're in the market for a Mega Zoom. I just can't say enough about it. It offers several pre-set photo options. The zoom is incredible. Picture quality is also excellent. It feels good in your hands.
I suggest that you study the manual to become familiar with the camera features. It's an easy read. Plan on burning the provided AA batteries becoming familiar with the camera (comparing the manual to actually testing them out on the camera). It's worth investing the time to truly realize the camera's benefits.
I purchased rechargeable AA batteries rather than continually buying traditional alkaline batteries. AA battery vs. a proprietary rechargeable battery was a feature I was looking for in this type of camera. It doesn't burn through the batteries.
Again - it's a great camera for armature or semi-professional photographers. Good luck!
One of the better cameras I ever ownedNovember 28, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
It's not a DSLR but it comes pretty darn close. What doesn't it have that a DSLR does?
1. Well the obvious is you can't change lenses but with such a large zoom and super macro why carry around all that stuff just to take hobby shots?
2. The sensor is never going to be as great as the higher end cameras, but it does a darn good job if you know how to work your settings and use a tripod.
3. You can't shoot raw. Again this is for the person who likes to take photos rather than switching out lenses, cleaning innards of the body, and sitting in front of the computer tweaking all day.
That being said if you're looking for a more "professional camera" go for the new Rebel (I believe the new one has live view that the older models don't and that is a real plus.)
Okay so shooting at anything above 400ISO gets noisy. My solution - use a tripod for longer exposures at a lower ISO or use flash when possible.
The zoom is great and though you do lose some quality there is an image stabalizer, you will get shake -- again use a tripod or monopod.
The thing is so easy to use, I never even read the instruction manual. It's all right there on the camera, you just have to play around with it.
Burst mode is kinda slow, but again it's under $400 camera -- there are going to be some trade offs for the all-in-one-point-and-shoot.
USE the scene settings, they are marvelous, and can actually help train you on how to set the camera manually. The indoor mode is fantastic at setting the white balance.
The best situation for any camera is lots of light so expect noise, blur etc in darker settings. Get yourself a flash -- Speedlite 430ex or better if you have the cash. I am still waiting for mine, but if you like to bounce flash off the wall behind you do some more research on it. Get a diffuser and/or bounce the crap out of it. Experiment and play. Once you learn the camera and its nuances, you will be able to get the most out of it.
Spend the money and get a fast memory card with a lot of space.
This camera is now my baby and I have used the Olympus Camedia 3.2 MP for quite some time and I have taken a lot of great photos with it. I had the older rebel, hated that it didn't have live view and didn't have the money to buy fast telephoto lenses. Sold it. I recommend you keep yours if you have one though... they are great cameras.
I will be shooting intimate events (baby showers, small weddings, birthday and holiday parties) with this one and using my friend's rebel as a backup. LOL imagine that!!? I figure I can make some of my cash back maybe even enough to get the new rebel.
If you want something that is easy to use, has a great zoom lens, takes great photos and is under $400, this is the camera for you. It's a canon and the resale value should stick should you want to upgrade in a year.

Not impressed with the image stabilizationNovember 25, 2008 2 out of 9 found this review helpful
I am not impressed with the image stabilization on this camera. I had better results with my Canon A520 without image stabilization!. Alot of expense and hoopla for a camera that just doesn't come close my expectations or what they say the camera will produce. Try something else. Save your money!
