I am actually seriously getting a camera now.  I know I've been talking about it for months!  But decided i just have to dive in or else I'll never buy one.  Plus I've read reviews and learned that many of these cameras DO have Panorama even if the website says it doesn't!  That's one of the fav features of my current cameras.

Anyway, I want to get this one, but there are no reviews on here so I'm requesting reviews from anyone who has used it :)  If you haven't used it, maybe you can review the link and give your input based on your experience with cameras.  I can get it for $226 so I think it's a good price.  It has a lot of good reviews on BestBuy.com, but I want to hear from my VP people!

Thanks for any help!!

It's hard to go wrong with any Canon SD camera.  I don't particularly put much stock in Best Buy reviews.  My go-to place for camera reviews is digitalcamerareview.com.

Thanks Rudi!  Usually I don't read too much into the bestbuy reviews b/c a lot of times they sound like a consumer who just fell in love with it, or a consumer who is overly picky.  But there were about 3-4 really good and detailed reviews of the camera that pointed out the pros and cons and the pros far outweighed the cons.

I will check that link.  And wait to see if anyone else comes along here to say they owned this or used this camera before.  I think I might be buying it tonight.  It's the best price for the best features.  I gotta check it out in person again first because it has been awhile since I saw it in the store.

Seems the camera has no reviews on that site either :(  Well, you can only learn so much from reviews anyway.  Like I said 3-4 of them really sold me on this because they mentioned the features I wanted which the product info didn't really list.  I've been comparing the features to my current camera and it is ahead in pretty much every aspect - so I'm guessing I will be satisfied.

*Actually when I googled reviews the first result was from that site you mentioned.  Funny that it didn't come up when I searched the site.
