Too bad it broke after three months....:
I love this camera! However, after owning it for three months, it no longer works. Amazon.com was not at all helpful in this process. I had to send it back to Canon for repair, which will take 3 weeks or more. I am disapointed with the quality of the product, but when it was working, it did work fine.
Excellent all round camera.:
Excellent all round camera., November 23, 2008 I love this camera. I use it for taking short films of my son's fencing matches. The camera records video in mpg format so most video editing software works well with the the camera. The battery life is great I have never had it fail me during use. I do carry a spare but have yet to need it. A 4 Gig memory chip will hold about 5 minutes worth of video or Heaven knows how many pictures. The panorama feature is fun.

Great little camera:
My other Canon was stolen on the last trip so I went looking for the replacement. Cannot say enough positive things about this little guy. Zoom, close up, fast reaction time (for what it is), nice size screen but the view finder? does anyone ever use those anymore on this type of camera? The battery charger - when will they learn to make them so the unit doesn't cover three holes on the power strip?
Excellent camera:
Picture quality is great... we bought it because of the video capability as well... we're very pleased.
