intermediate-user, impressed with this product, loving my digital camera, Picky about pictures, willing to pay for quality
I purchased this camera before going on a nine day trip to Central America. I'm a die hard film camera person (Canon A2 with really nice lenses) and wasn't willing to let my "real" camera get ruined. Let me say - I am impressed. The most important quality to me is shutter speed; this camera doesn't take particularly fast pictures, so let's get that big con out of the way. Otherwise, however, it's fantastic! I could really zoom in on some of the wildlife in the rainforest for fantastic shots. I also took pictures while spelunking and the flash worked really well. Action shots are a…

loving my digital camera, wise customer, shop around, somewhat tech savvy, photography amateur
I was recently shopping around for a replacement of my standard 35mm camera to something more up-to-date like digital without having to spend money and time the old fashion way of buying films and developing. That's when I came across the Cannon SX 100. I am not an expert on cameras but I knew that Cannon was a brand I could trust, after doing a little research in the net I came to the conclusion that was the right camera for me as an amateur I did not have the experience or patients of dealing with manual adjusting Lents. — The cannon power shots SX100IS is easy to operate and…

loving my digital camera
Used a Kodak 5 megapixel for 5 years until it died. Replaced it with the Canon SX100 after weeks of research. It is easy to use though I have yet to try all it's features. So easy to use that my 4 year old grandson can take really great photos. — The stabilization has reduced having blurry pictures. The 10x zoom is fantastic letting me take pictures of objects from my deck down to my back fence or take a picture of a butterfly up close. Another feature is being able to take one picture after another, until your memory card is full, when placed on…

willing to pay for quality, scrapbooker, nature lover, a pet owner, an amateur photographer, Picky about pictures, attached to my camera, family's manager of memories
I absolutely love this camera! — I am a previous Canon user and didn't want to stray away from what I knew. My old camera started to die off after a few years, but that was ok, my progress as a photographer has increased so I wanted something a little better and I got it with this camera! — Great for distance shots, the zoom is fantastic. And for me, I like to take close up pics of flowers and craft work, so the macro level is amazing to me. The quality of the pics is fantastic! Not grainy and in great detail!!! —…

loving my digital camera, budget conscious
My husband & I bought this as our Christmas present and I'm very pleased with it. It's nice to be across the room & zoom in on a face! I do still get some blurry pictures despite the image stabilization, but I figure that's just me getting used to the camera. — — I put a 2GB SanDisk Ultra II SD card in it and have all the photo capacity I could ever…

loving my digital camera
I bought this camera as a gift for someone and have had a chance to borrow it. It works great! The colors are true to any Canon Powershot camera. The only con is it takes several seconds in between shots when using flash - but the quality of the video recording and pictures is very good. High quality zoom for a reasonable…
