Good: High quality
Bad: Too many pixels- 6m would be sufficient
Comment: It is easy to use and the picture quality is very agreeable. Nice colours. All in all I would recommend it!

Good: This is a great camera until like a lot of Cannon compacts it develops the dreaded E18 fault now seen as "lens fault restart camera"
Bad: E18 fault after 13 months
Comment: This camera would receive 10 if it was not for what i think is a basic design fault!! Camera devlops the dreaded E18 fault for no apparent reason cost of repair the price of a new camera!!! So much for Cannon service

Good: Slick, intuitive controls and foolproof, top quality images.
Bad: Only a 32Mb SD card included as standard.
Comment: This was a distress purchase, after losing my camera on the first day of a two week tropical holiday (doh!). In such circumstances, I was prepared to be disappointed with my purchase. To my surprise and satisfaction, this camera just gets better and better with use. It is solid and dependable, yet flexible and responsive. I'm making full use of all its features, yet the controls are so intuitive I've yet to read the manual - all the main features are accessible with simple yet positive thumb movements. The quality of the photographs is very pleasing, benefiting from very effective image stabilisation. An excellent all round camera (as my 550 holiday photographs testify).

Good: Image quality
Bad: The interface, low light shots
Comment: I had high hopes for the Canon as a replacement for an aging Pentax Optio 5i, but it has not really delivered. Yes, the 8MB is higher quality, and there are more tools and settings to play with. But for a point a squirt camera there really isn't that much difference.
The bad points are that I found the user interface to be too complicated and the scroll wheel control a bit fiddly. This is compounded by the fact that the auto setting struggled to take lower light photos, insisting on using the flash nearly all the time.
Yes, there are good points. It's a Canon, so very well built (you can feel the quality). The video features and quality are better than I've seen (although near on impossible to import onto my Mac).
Overall, I expected more.
