While I prefer to use my DSLR whenever possible, it’s not practical to carry it around everywhere that I go with my two young children, so I have always also kept a point-and-shot nearby for candids. My last little Canon finally bit the dust when my oldest son bent the retractable lens out of place and then tried to shut the camera off, jamming it for good. That was after three and a half years of use and abuse, so I definitely got my money out of it, which is why I went for a Canon again to replace it.
This is REALLY a compact little camera, very sleek and stylish. The software has definitely had some changes and updates, but it only took me a few days to get acclimated and now I find that it’s easier and quicker to use than my older one. The pictures are obviously not comparable to my DSLR, but I’ve gotten some great shots, so I already considering this a worthwhile investment. In my opinion, if you’re looking for a easy to carry, easy to operate, affordable digital camera, this is the one for you.
(As a sidenote, I purchased a refurbished model, saved a few bucks, got a brand-new quality camera, and ended up with an unexpected bonus battery in the box!)
