I sent it back. it was not the camera that I thought I had ordered. i wanted the SX201S. this was just a mistake. Nothing was wrong with the camera.

The Camera is not flashy but takes some good photos. Some that are actually really good. We haven’t played with it enough to know the depths of the menus, but it’s easy to navigate-especially because we were used to Canon cameras. I have noticed that when I put the pictures as a desktop, they seemed noisy. It may be something I’m not doing right. All in all we like this camera and my son is thrilled.

I bought this camera over the Kodak Z915 (takes AA batteries with 10x zoom) or Z950 (lithium battery with 10x zoom) due to the reviews. Well it’s biggest problem is picture quality. I rarely got an image that wasn’t soft, no matter what I tried. Also, the focus square would most always not select the main subject. When I chose the select faces option, only one or two faces would be chosen and often those in the background rather than the nearest subject. There also wasn’t a multi-point focusing. Only one green square box would come up. Regarding camera build, it is built well and feels sturdy. The pictures just were always soft and slightly out of focus. Lastly, you must realize before buying this that you will wait a full FIVE seconds between shots when using the flash. That is an eternity folks! At my Christmas party with all the kids posing with Santa, I was the one they were waiting for the camera to recharge, while my sister-in-law with the SOny point and shoot and cousin with the Nikon were shooting away. Oh, and forget about the high ISO options (which is another reason I bought it). I attempted to take shots in a gymnasium of my son wrestling. Exposure wise they came out well, just that they were blurry and NOISY. For these reasons I’m going to get either the Kodak Z915 or the Z950 and return this.

I am a real estate appraiser and wanted a compact wide angle camera. This camera is not really that. Also, many times I must change flash from Auto to Forced on. This is almost impossible with this camera. I use the sports mode in my other Cannon, this camera does not have it. Camera does not come with an instruction manual which I read, you must download it. That is really tacky. All in all, I am very disappointed with this Cannon camera and I would not recommend it.

This is a great camera. The picture quality is so much better than our last camera. We are really happy with it.
