"Pricey but worth every penny"
What I like:
Compact considering the size of the zoom, Picture quality
What I don't like:
auto focus in low light
Review:
Great camera the Zoom is excellent , picture quality is very good .The problem with the auto focus in low light has been improved greatly by the firmware update which I recently downloaded.
The camera has plenty of features which are useful.
I was nearly put of this camera by some reviews on the internet, but decided to go into a local retailer and check it out after spending 45 mins checking it out I decide it was for me after all.
I can only say that I am delighted with this camera and the zoom is excellent, I have always wanted a decent zoom camera but was not prepared to carry around an SLR heavy weight . This camera is light in weight compact and easy to use.

Canon EOS 7D
It's got flaws, but the 7D moves the goalposts so far that competitors will need binoculars
Canon Digital IXUS 200 IS
Ticks numerous boxes, but it's not especially cheap and not particularly exciting
Canon PowerShot S90
The S90 is the enthusiast's dream, offering compactness, great image quality and superb controls
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX550
Disappointing. The hybrid touchscreen interface is lacklustre overall, and the lens isn't that good
