5 Stars LoveIt!
I received my first Canon PowerShot Elph from my brother over 4 years ago. So this was an upgrade for me. I loved my first one and I love this one.My mother has one, too, and she is very pleased with hers as well. I am still getting a feel for my new one, but I am very happy with it! The orange color is awesome! And the fact that you can recharge the battery appeals to my “green” side!

5 Stars Canon PowerShot SD1200IS
My wife and I were strolling through the store when she spotted this camera and said that she wanted her own camera, since I hogged the family camera, and that this one was cute. She was ready to purchase immediately, which I talked her out of doing. As a photographer I knew that these decisions took research, reading reviews on the internet and getting potential candidates in your hands to be scrutinized. After two weeks of consideration my research led me to the same camera that she had liked because of its’ size and color.

Canon makes a great camera. Every digital still camera I’ve owned has been a Canon. This camera offers image stabilization, which is a must, and delivers a 10mp image. The mega pixal race has gotten out of hand, being an easy selling point of more pixals must mean better imaging. This is not the case. Often more pixals means more image noise, takes up more space on your computer and requires bigger memory cards.

At any rate, this camera is compact, offers enough shooting variations to please someone with a background in photography and, as my wife says, is cute.

5 Stars Excellent for video and pictures, especially underwater!
We live in Guam, where the picture taking possibilities are endless. This little camera takes really great pictures both above water and underwater; we bought the underwater casing and my husband uses it while scuba diving, it takes beautiful underwater pictures and video. The lag time can get a little annoying if the picture preview is on; but that’s just basic digital camera issues. We’ve used this camera for video on several occasions and you wouldn’t be able to tell it was taken with a hand held camera instead of a video camera. When the camera arrived I was a little worried that the orange color would be more pastel, but I was pleasantly surprised by the bright orange color since orange is one of my favorite colors.

I used to be a strictly Nikon person, and I owned the Nikon CoolPix, but it was stolen a while back. We replaced it with this Cannon and it’s made us open our eyes to another brand. We still love Nikon, but Cannon has definitely reserved a spot on our list of favorites. My only complaint between the two is that the Cannon is a little bit thicker than the Nikon and doesn’t fit into my pocket as easily. But it’s still a great little camera to throw into my purse and take everywhere.

5 Stars Fantastic little camera!
This is a great little camera! You certainly can’t beat the quality for the price. I highly recommend this.

5 Stars Great Point & Shoot Camera
I bought this digital camera after my Canon SD750 broke, and so far it’s been great. Takes great quality pics and it’s very portable. I’m not one of those savvy camera guys where I know a lot about the different options a camera can do. I’m more of a “if it takes good pictures, then I’m sold” type of camera guy and this is a great camera if you’re looking for something you can take anywhere and have a great quality picture. I’ve heard complaints about the navigation buttons on the back, and although it was not as easy to use (as far as the buttons are concerened) as my old SD750, I didn’t find it to be to problematic or annoying. The only thing that could make this camera better is if they removed the optic viewer. It would have given more room for a bigger LCD screen. But that’s just my preference, some people prefer having the optic viewer. So in conclusion, great camera, great price. 100% recommend it to those looking for something simple that’ll do the everyday job of taking nice clean pictures.

4 Stars Very Nice Camera
This is my 2nd Canon Digital Camera. Overall, i am very satisfied with this product. The pictures taken in sunny, outdoor settings are stunning.

720P HD videos shooting is easy and quaility is very good. Camera Software user interface is very intuitive, and has some advanced editing features as well.

Here is some short-comings I’ve noticed:.

(1) if you takes a lot of pictures with kids playing sports where your subject is in motion, this camera is not a good fit. The continuous-shooting mode is slow. (~1 shot/second range)

in addition, the LCD “blanks” out for a 1+ seconds after each shot so you have a hard time following your subject while in continuous-shooting mode. The “Servo AF” mode tends to over-compesate so i general turned that off.

(2) If you would like to take picutres using the camera’s 12X optical zoom, pls make sure you use a tripod since very small hand motion at that range can make the shot producing a lot of noise (”foggy” pictures).

(3) The “Auto” mode in indoor setting doesn’t always detect the current light condition. It’s best to put the camera in “Program”(P) mode and manually select light condition and sensitivity.

In general, this camera does not take good pictures in low-light conditions without the flash.

5 Stars This thing is awesome…
I read all the reviews of this camera here on Amazon, as well as seeking out photography websites looking for recommendations for the best small point and shoot camera. Despite a few bad reviews here, everything else I saw was pretty positive, so I decided to go for it. I am SOOOOO glad I did.

From the moment it came out of the box, it was love at first site.

The display is large and clear and crisp.

The photos is takes are wonderful. I have seen low reviews talking about “noise” and “blurriness” and the only thing I can guess is that these people never took 5 minutes to figure out how to USE the camera. Set to the indoor setting, pictures taken inside are clear, crisp and brilliant. No noise. If you use the Kids&Pets mode, motion shots are almost always perfect and without blurriness. If you try and take every picture on “Auto” you are going to get a mixed bag of shots on ANY camera, that is why the camera comes with different settings.

I’ve also seen complaints about where the flash is and how hard the camera is to hold. It is true that when turning the camera on, the flash has bumped my finger a few times. But this is hardly a deal breaker. So it bumps you – it isn’t as though it is causing injury to the camera or to you, for goodness sake!!!! So it bumps you and you move your finger – big deal! I cannot fathom why anyone would care about this. As far as being hard to hold, maybe if you had the hands of a 7 ft NBA player or a 350lb lineman, it might be a bit small in your hands and hard to handle – but so would ANY small camera. But both my husband and myself have had no issues holding on to it. If you are worried for some reason, that is what the camera strap is there for. Personally, I love the fact that it EASILY slips into a pocket so I don’t walk around looking like a tourist, or have my hands full of camera while I want to be site-seeing.

The function section of this camera (SCN) is SUPER fun. You can take pictures where you turn everything in the photo black & white except selected color(s). This yields some AWESOME artsy shots with no effort (seriously, take pictures in candlight, where the color of the candle light is the only color – AMAZING!!!!). You can also swap colors to take wacky, fun photos. People will think you are a photography genius, and all you did was point and click. There is also a straight B&W mode, and sepia mode, like most cameras.

All in all, I CANNOT imagine having chosen any other camera.

1 Star Flawed camera.
Had the camera for about six months now. Very happy at this point that I bought an extended warranty.

Anyway, I’m not sure if its a problem with just my camera, but from day one I have had problems with the camera not focusing correctly. If anything is in motion at all the picture is blurry. Even staged portraits often come out blurry. I love the zoom ability of the camera, but couple it with the focus problems and it is darn near useless. When the pictures do come out, they come out very nice, but this camera does have problems with low light situations. Additionally, the battery life sucks. I shot around 100-120 pictures in around 1.5 hours and had to change the battery… sounds like a lot of pictures, but really its isn’t when half of them are out of focus.

Last weekend, the camera started having other problems. You look at the display on the back and the image on it shifts left and then right over and over again. I mean big jumps that could take half your subject out of the frame. Put an ear to the camera body/lens and you can hear it constantly adjusting when it is doing this. So, returning this piece-o-junk today… not going to get another one if I can help it.

4 Stars Canon SX200 IS
I have only had the camera for a few weeks and haven’t had much time to play around with it, but it’s quite simple to just pick up and start taking pictures. So far I have been very impressed with both the still picture and video options.

The one drawback that I have noticed is that when I am taking pictures, if I am holding the camera with one hand instead of both hands, I frequently hit the “play” button which displays the pictures already taken. There have been many times when I am about to take a great photo of our kids and then it switches to the play setting and I lose the opportunity to take it. The button is just in a bad place on the camera. That is the only drawback I have found so far. Other than that, I am very satisfied with the camera.

1 Star A shame
I don’t really like this product!

I find that is not comfortable the pop up flash.

The lens retraction is really TOO slow the same as the shooter (easy to lost THE moments).

The auto setting MANY times fails (really bad), you can’t trust on it to take a good picture… Is better to use manual settings.

The light capture is deficient the most of the times (it’s a shame, maybe the worst).

It was a big deception for me.

5 Stars New Camera – Same great stuff
I upgraded from a SD1000 to this. Yes it was an upgrade…LOL. I drop tested my 1000. This camera is GREAT. HDMI feature works wonderfully. Everything works as advertised. I thought this was not supposed to zoom while taping video but it does. BONUS!

4 Stars great little camera
I’ve had fun with it so far.

I haven’t figured out the video part on it yet. I can

video on it but don’t know how to replay it. Just need to read the manual…Found tho that it would be good to

have a extra memory card just for video. It uses alot

of the card up.

I really do like it…

1 Star Terrible face recognition = useless camera
Had an SD880IS for a year and was really happy with it, unfortunately I lost it in a trip. Canon released the SD960IS in the meantime so I bought it thinking HD video will be an added plus. BIG MISTAKE! This camera has a major flaw: face recognition does not work well in 80% of pictures. It only works on less than 6ft if sun hits directly on the face and if the subject does not wear glasses, sunglasses or a hat. If face recognition does not detect the face, it will not meter the exposure correctly thus it will not trigger the flash when needed and/or not focus on the subject and you will end up with dark faces, overexposed pictures and out of focus subjects. Now, I did try to overcome this by using the few manual controls available with not much luck. My 5 yr old Canon S70 is much much better in this respect. It is very interesting that face recognition on a $150 Sony DSC-W220 my girlfriend has performs flawlessly and not just with one subject in the picture but even with 5-6. Now, I would not recommend the Sony for other reasons (no wide angle, very noisy, etc) but come on Canon, you cannot release a $330 (at the time of purchase) camera with such poor facial recognition in 2009. SD880IS wasn’t perfect when it comes to facial recognition but unlike the SD960 it worked really well in 90% of cases and that’s good enough for me. There are other things that I don’t like about the SD960 such as the cumbersome menu (worse than the 880), a tendency to use macro mode in Auto mode when shooting scenery, unable to use the flash in auto mode, etc, but no camera is perfect and I wouldn’t consider them a big issue. This camera is going to craigslist or ebay soon at a $150 loss after only 4 months.

5 Stars Well done, Canon
Flexible, easily adjustible, reasonably light and compact. I get very few blurs to erase, but if I do it’s incredibly easy. It’s no SLR, but I get tremendous images that transfer to websites and print well. I’m still learning to use the wheel and finding new options and abilities nearly daily. It fits in a front pant pocket and slides out ready to go when I want to capture an image. There are plenty of megapixtals for large blowups.

5 Stars great camera!
this camera is great so far! i have had it for a couple of months now. i wanted a very small camera with all of the features that could be crammed in. my previous 3 cameras were olympus. i checked product reviews for about 4 months before i decided. i do suggest going to canon’s website and checking the reviews there. i found another cannon that initially had a product feature of “underwater”, but when i went on cannon’s website, i found that that feature did not exist on the camera i was checking out. their features had initially listed it incorrectly and then corrected it on the cannon website.

3 Stars hard to use for a rookie
It’s a lot of camera for a rookie. The words/pictures on the camera are very small, so study it and practice using it in advance of need-to-use. My ratings are based solely on my novice photographer position, NOT Canon engineering. It’s hard to know whether to shut the camera off in order to save battery life, or keep it on till the timer shuts it off. Store batteries don’t last long, so I’m looking for one of the longer lasting, new technology re-chargeable batteries. The 8GB memory card is a must. Don’t know how to hook it up to the computer yet.

5 Stars Excellent quality photographs, really easy to use.
This camera takes macro shots and landscapes equally well and has done superb job so far with autofocus and automode light settings, both with indoor and outdoor pictures. It’s an extremely good value, and I’m really happy with it.

4 Stars Only one complaint
I have a professional digital camera, but needed something that I could keep in the diaper bag and pull out whenever the children do something cute. Also, I was taking a trip to Boston and did not want to lug the big camera. The pictures are good and I like that it takes short videos too. My one complaint is the battery life. I had to carry around extra batteries with me in Boston and had to change them at least once a day. Of course I was using the camera a good bit. I will be looking for rechargeable batteries and hopefully that will keep battery cost down some.

5 Stars GREAT LITTLE CAMERA
I had the Canon A530 and just wanted a larger screen and I thought the pink was just a cute, girly color. I had been very happy with the A530. My mom now inherits my A530. This camera has the same features but is just a less bulky, slimmer camera than the A530. One of the cons is that when taking a picture you have to hold the button down half way down wait for it to focus and then take the picture. So you just cant take quick picture. Being not into picture taking a lot it works for me! Any seasoned camera person probably would not like this camera. But I love it. I have never had issues with Canon. I have Canon office equipment as well and have been very satisfied with their performance. I will be using it a lot on my trips.

5 Stars Great camera
I needed a second camera take I could carry in my pocket if I wanted. I take alot of family pictures, especially of my grandchildren. Great for this. I also have taken alot of nature pictures with it. The zoom is good, you do lose some quality when zoomed all the way. I have taken over 500 pictures and I am pleased so far. I have taken some great widescreen shots. Overall I am pleased.
