- Great until it STOPS WORKING
I bought it -- I loved it.
I cared for it -- it died the 'BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH'
I had to PAY MORE -- to resurrect it {Canon now says when told that so many others have issues with this camera -- well all the issues aren't the same one -- just like people get sick from the flu or the cold so too people are getting it 'cured' for different reasons -- as IF THAT HELPS! So instead of it having ONE FLAW it has NUMEROUS potential AILMENTS.
I decided -- if CANON can't stand behind their product... I'm NOT standing in front of Canon display cases/products when making a purchase.

- After 2 years its dead
I bought this camera 2 years ago in July, when I first got it, it was great, and I loved it, very easy to use. Well as time past, it was still good.
In October it died on me, you could not take a picture, you were able to review the pictures on the memory card and the menus but that is it. I called Canon and I got told 3 different prices. The final price they wanted was $160, and that was just for the labor of the camera. Who knows what the price of the part would have been. I pretty much babied my camera. It was never dropped, left in my car in the heat or the cold. It was in a padded camera bag. I used the camera about 3 days before it went dead on me. I also noticed that Canon was not helpful at all with trying to help me fix the problem without money. My camera still looks in the ... Read More

This is the second time I have been asked to write a review of this "purchase". I stand by my first review. It was a negative experience and we never received the camera! After several attempts to resolve this issue we were never able to come to agreeable terms. The bottom line is that, via information from the postal service used, it was never sent - yet the company continued to tell us it would arrive within a day or two. Three weeks later we are told that the label "fell off" and that it was returned to the seller. I find this difficult to accept and I would not recommend buying anything from this company. Poor service should NOT be rewarded.

This is the most wonderful camera I have ever owned. It does not take bad pictures. I know nothing about photography, except I like to take pictures and like for them to be quality. I have a "point and click" mentality. Have never read the instruction book (shame on me). Truly, all you have to do is set it on automatic and then take perfect pictures to your heart's content. I would never be without the 12x zoom. Now I can get the wildlife pictures that have always been elusive to me. I would recommend this camera to novice or professional. It is simply the best!!

- Canon fixed black screen for free and I still love this camera!
I bought this camera 3 years ago and have used it very heavily. I frequently come home with 200 or more pictures to download. I discovered it takes better video than my 5 year old video camera so now it's my primary video camera too. Thankfully, the price of SD cards has come down so I can carry a couple spare 2GB SD's with the camera.

When the camera was approximately one year old I encountered the black screen problem. I sent the camera to Canon and, after verifying that the camera had no water damage or other physical damage, they fixed it for free and returned it quickly. I did send the camera to Canon kind of on faith though because they did not promise to fix it for free. They gave me the impression that it was likely I would have to pay $129. Therefore, I was pleasantly ... Read More
