"Great next step from a cheap digital."
What I like:
The whole family can use it. The price. A viewfinder.
What I don't like:
Nothing.
Review:
I've just changed from a cheap digital camera to this canon. The photos are good and everyone has found it easy to use. A viewfinder is a must in sunlight - and this camera has one. I found the best deal on Amazon and at a price of less than £100!

Stylish, practical and pleasing to use. Its pictures aren't bad either, so it's a good buy at this price
Samsung ST1000
Good camera made great by its excellent touchscreen interface and wireless technology
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1
As a showcase for Sony technology, it's brilliant, but it's far from perfect in everyday use
