Really nice camera

What a great camera. I have had the previous version of this and this is hands down better. GPS and much better movie quality make this a steal for the price. I also have the SD4500 and this is much better than that model as well. Much faster and better quality photos and movies. Also the GPS is a plus if you need it. Really nice bright, clear screen as well.

Very good picture quality

Summary: Picture Quality: Very good Features: Lacks quite a few including HDR, Panorama etc Lens: Very good Flash: Positioning is bad and needs some time to get used to it. But works wonderfully. Best part is camera adjusts white balance of entire picture to ensure flash doesn't look harsh. Size: Slightly bigger than I thought but still fits in my jeans pocket. Summary: Versatile compact camera with very good picture quality and lens. Excellent value if you buy it for less than 200$ (I got it from this site for 170$).

I Love This Camera

I bought this camera right before Christmas, arrived Friday before Christmas Eve get together My family has each year. I didn't have time to read instructions but was able to get some beutiful pictures any way. Am still learning all the new things i can do with this Camers. have been a fan of Canon, since mI bought a Canon F-1 35mm SLR overseas while in the Navy. all camera gear has been stolen since then. I bought the SX230 Digital camera to continue my hobby.

Great Deal and Quality Product

Delivered on time just in time for Christmas! This model has great zoom for a compact camera. Software down loads allow for special features not available on most cameras. This camera made my son happy!
