Review: Great camera - We bought this camera to replace a SX220 which was stolen. The camera takes very good pictures and video, and is hard to fault. The improvement in sensitivity over our A700 is shocking. We have found the manual control useful, and this was the feature that made us chose this camera over the Nikon. There are two faults with the camera: The first and most serious is that it does not charge off USB, meaning one more thing to pack/lose when you go on holiday. It would have been far more sensible to offer an external charger as an optional extra. Sony, Nikon, Samsung and all the phone manufacturers have moved into the 21st century and it is about time Canon joined them. It is fair enough on the IXUS where size is an issue, but they can find the space for gimmicks like GPS on the Powershot. The second fault is a minor one, but the pets and kids mode does not really work as well as I would hope, as it allows shutter speeds to drop too low. However by selecting a 1000th of a second in shutter speed priority mode you can catch them in action.
Review: Good super zoom - Bought on strengh of reivew on DP review site and so far lives up to its high rating. Image quality excellent and really like to film effect colour setting. Lens seem excellent and very long zoom. Yes the pop up flash is a bit tedious but this is a very small problem. Disapointed not to be able to control the noise reduction - at least I've not yet found this in the menus - much better to do NR with software afterwards.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great pocketable camera
*by D***Y on 18 September 2011*

Well, I like this camera. True, it does seem to get through the battery very quickly, but I am still checking out all the functions so I suspect that that is what is consuming a lot of juice. The GPS works fine for me. It seems to be very accurate (within a few feet), you just have to remember to turn GPS off (and only use the required GPS functions - 'logging' inevitably will be power heavy). I found the auto pop-up flash a bit of a nuisance, until I read the instructions and realised that you could close it manually, and subsequently reopen it, without harming the camera. The control dial and associated buttons appear very sensitive and need a litle care when using them, otherwise you end up in unexpected functions. Having said that, I think it has enough functionaily to satisfy all levels of users. It will not replace my SLR but I will be able to carry it at almost all times so can be ready for those unexpected moments that always occur when you don't have a camera with you.
