A GREAT CAM AS A PRE-PRO

Feb 21, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: has full manual control and power 12x zoom
Cons: there's really nothing bad bout it
Opinion:
this cam is just the one right before you go into pro photography with a dSLR. of course there is the image quality of Canon as found in every Powershot. than there is the user friendliness of Powershot cameras. a 12x optical zoom. hot shoe and really boundless realms adventure. if u r not ready for the dSLRs this is the best pre-dSLR cam u can find!

Very Decent Pro-Consumer

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Fast & good Focusing, Very fast Zoom, Clear 2.5" LCD, extremely great Video Function, Hot shoe
Cons: Lousy Lens Cap, Electronic View finder not very clear, No wide angle lens
Opinion:
Very impressive camera from Canon.

Improvement from S3 IS includes an addition HOTSHOE, a larger 2.5" vari-angle LCD that provide very clear and sharp images.

I enjoyed take pictures and well as Videos with this camera. Like a Camcorder, it allows you to take full 8 megapixels pictures while u are video recording. Supports SD/SDHC memory cards which are 1 of the most value memory cards available.

However, due to its small CCD as compared to other brands, it lost in high ISO Noise, gladly, this can be corrected with an image editing software.

Other complaints will be a lousy lens cap that is easy to pop-out after some times of usage. Its Electronic ViewFinder quality isn't very good, which explain I end up using the 2.5" LCD to shoot that the EVF.

Sadly, most other brands already incorporate 28MM wide angels lens, which canon is still at 36MM. 12X is not a ... Read more

Pros: A gd choice for Budget Beginner User to start-up learn Semi-Pro instead go into DSLR.
Cons: It doesn't have much More Optical Zoom Compare with other Brand!
Opinion:
It's a right choice to choose this Camera as a good start-up of Learnin Semi-Pros.. But instead 12X optical zoom, it can actually add on Wide-Lens intead built-in looks so fake. Although built-in can save the trouble bringin the lens along BUT!! it only looks wide the angle yet the person re-size so small.. I rather get this than built-in wide-angle. But Tele-conversation lens to hv further optical comparing with just the fixed one. Under-Water Casing is available. I likes the LCD Screen that can actually take 3G phone self take or better still can actually take high landscape with LCD move around. Just that i wish Canon Can highly upgrade their optical zoom to 20X instead 12X. Maybe comin out is PS S7?? haha..Is a good choice to Choose!!!
