Everything you need. Nothing more, nothing less.

JAN

2009

Once you get the hang of this camera and have figured out all the cool functions that are possible in the menu, you can have a lot of fun with this camera. It has everything you will ever need. My favorite function (and why I will always buy Canon cameras) is the Color Accent option. This lets you select one color to have show up in the picture, with every other color being in black and white. I have spent many hours on a bus or airplane fighting boredom using this function. The pictures look amazing, no matter what your subject matter! This camera has taken quite a beating and keeps on going. I know someday I'll need to upgrade, but for now I'm very happy with this camera.

Comments about BenKnowsBest’s Review

Don't you just love this camera! I have either this one or one similar, but I love Canon cameras too. Wait, I even reviewed my camera and I still can't remember which one I have, oh well :) I like switching it from sepia to black & white and so on...
