Likes & Dislikes

I like:

  • slick looking, superior build-quality
  • great, easy to see LCD
  • ease of use and intuitive menu
  • layout of buttons and switches
  • fast and responsive in every aspect (except the flash). Like all Digic II Canon cameras, it performs best with a high speed memory card.
  • focuses very fast
  • lock exposure and focus independently. You can even lock focus and exposure independently at the same time.
  • holds it's own in low light, up to ISO400.

I dislike:

  • price ($499 U.S. when I purchased it. The current price is a bargin!)
  • not enough information on the LCD
  • no indication of optical zoom range (magnification is shown for the digital zoom)
  • no protection for LCD
  • flash is weak and recycles slow (until I discovered these steps)
  • landscape/infinity mode doesn't seem to have any effect
