Great camera, bought for an Alaska trip very pleased with all pictures taken inserted a 16G card shot over 600 pictures with out a problem. 14X wide angle was super. highly recommend this Canon camera

I was suppose to receive a 4GB SDHC Memory Card free with the purchase of this camera. I never received it nor have I ever heard anything from Amazon regarding it. When purchasing an item worth this kind of money one would think that Amazon would live up to their end of the bargin. Will think twice before coming back to them.
SX210IS September 1, 2010 Canon Fan 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Overall great camera. However, seems to have a problem finding focus, especially if there is slight movement and with inside photos. After buying the camera, I went on a trip during which time I took about 150 photos. About 20% came out a bit blurry or seemed slightly out of focus (about 10% was caused by movement). Also, unlike with SLR's (or DSLR's), does not work well with depth perception.
Keep it Clean August 31, 2010 sierrajoe 2 out of 5 found this review helpful
I've owned this camera for a few months now. It's got some nice features but one issue that really bugs me.
The good:
* Great Zoom
* Great pictures
* Great 720P video, even while zooming
* Lots of control options. It's not a DSLR but probably the next best thing for control.
The not so great:
* Flash is right where you want to hold the camera
* Microphones are right where you want to hold the camera.
* If you're narrating, the audio seems to vary a lot.
* Autofocus is pretty slow if you're using the camera for video.
* Not sure if image stabilization works for video, but if so, it does not work well
* Zoom motor noise is obvious in videos.
The bad (IMHO):
* This camera is not dust proof / resistant and dust gets into the optics really easily. It would be one thing if it were easy to clean but, it's impossible as far as I can tell. So, once it happens you're stuck with sparkles in every shot that has sunlight coming in from the side, lighting up those dust specs.
It's a shame that a couple o-rings weren't thrown into the design to make it more "pocketable".

What a disappointment!!! August 30, 2010 Bob N. (Las Vegas, NV United States) 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
Studied so many online reviews and thought this was the one! What a disappointment. After taking some pics, that look good enough on the camera...then downloaded to PC. They are too soft and granulated when zooming in on the PC monitor. Yuck! My old Canon SD780IS was way better! The camera has so many nice features, but the most important thing is good-quality pics! I am now shipping this back to Amazon, so glad that they allow returns!
