CONS: none
OVERALL: This is a great digital camera for everyone. It has all the features you need to take photography to the next level. I would say that this new Canon camera has a lot of improved features which makes it stand out from the rest. It takes crisp clear photos during the day and night. The new DIGIC II technology makes it possible to have less blurry pictures. It has a large 2.5" LCD screen and about 20 shooting modes.

After doing lots of research, I ended up with this camera. I like the fact that it uses regular AA batteries. I power the camera with Powerex rechargable batteries and they last for several hundred photos (with occassional flash). The photos are crisp and clear with great contrast and color. There are lots of settings and I especially like the Sepia and B&W for those experimental days.
The zoom is great but when zoomed out, the camera has a tendency to wash out color. The photos still turn out good but the colors are somewhat compromised. I would suggest shooting manually when zooming all the way. And noise is reasonable for this type of camera at the higher ISO's.
The functions are easy to use and access. I would also suggest a high speed memory card as a regular card writes somewhat slow if you are trying to catch some action photos. For normal everyday shooting, a high speed card is not required. I estimate, with the flash being used, a write time of five to ten seconds, tops.
The LCD is fine and the camera is easy to hold and manage. It is small and fits in a shirt pocket. I chose this camera due to reviews from this site and several other camera related sites. I especially like the Canon clarity and colors. I have Nikon and Olympus, so I do have something to compare this camera with.
In conclusion, this is a great camera, I highly recommend it and would purchase another without second thoughts. Comparing dollars to cameras, this is the best bang for your buck if you are looking for a small Point and Shoot that has the power of a DSLR.
