This product i bought was to replace another camera i had. This camera definitely has to be the best i have bought so far. With servo AF and IS, you can take crisp pictures of moving objects. Also, this camera has many custom settings you can choose(pictures and videos). This camera is a very compact camera, though not too small. This camera also has good video quality.This camera's macro function is amazing. i can focus objects 1.3 inches away. Over all i am satisfied with this product and canon and will recommend this brand to others.

I received this little cute cam from my son for my birthday. Little did I know the powerful picture it takes, I don’t go to any events without it. I love it! Best gift yet.

I bought this camera specifically to have a camera that I could carry everywhere in my shirt pocket. This was a great choice. It shoots very good hi-res photos. It has great features for such a small camera. I recently shot some HD video on the spot, hand held in a wind storm and posted it on Youtube. My friends who viewed the video could not believe that I shot this hand-held and with a pocket camera too. Highly recommend it.

Pros: Small / Compact, Fast/accurate auto-focus, Good Image Quality, Large Clear LCD Cons: Some controls not easy, No Viewfinder Other thoughts: Bought this camera to replace a lost camera that we since have found. 6 years later the new camera is the same footprint but half as thick. The megapixels are 12 plus rather than 5 so the picture files are much bigger. There is no viewfinder but a shade may be available.

I purchased this camera after 'discovering' the extreme price for repair of my other canon camera. For only a few more dollars, I upgraded to this camera. While using it for a 1 year old party, it captured the birthday boy and guests. For self-portraits, it also does an amazing job. I normally blink, and the camera detects eliminates it. Great Job. The nice thing is the fact I can still use my old battery in the new camera.

I was looking forward to upgrading my sd800is to a smaller digicam with hd video capability. The professional reviews I've read have been ok but it seemed to fit the bill for what I was looking for--a pocketable camera that takes hd video and good quality pictures. I've had Canon's (A20, SD800is) and have been very pleased. This is a disappointing camera primarily because it has trouble focusing. Too many blurred pictures to count. I never had this issue with my previous cameras. It doesn't matter what setting I have it on including my videos are often out of focus. I will probably look at getting it repaired(?). A secondary complaint is that it isn't very easy to hold because of the curved edges and how slim the camera is. Maybe this is too compact of a camera. My only concern is being without my camera for an extended period of time which is delaying my need to get the camera looked at by Canon.

I had gotten used to a bulkier 3megpix camera and maybe because of that experience I am astounished by the detail and color quality of the pictures, from this camera, that I see on my monitor. Shooting and downloading pictures to to my PC was simple. This Canon is little, fits easily in my pocket but packs a powerful scene grabber; and, the price is little compared to what I get out of it.

Great Camera. After being frustrated by a competitors model for 2 years this camera was a breathe of fresh air. Very easy to use, nice lcd and it takes very nice pictures. Auto mode works well and the other modes are much easiler to understand than with other manufacturers. If you want a easy to use camera that you dont have to fuss with, this is the one. Thanks Cannon.

This item really has changed the way I look and feel about small cameras. The picture quality is great, I have no problems with low light, it compensates for light levels extremely well. I have used the Power Shot SD1400IS for everything from taking photos of my kids at the park, to taking pictures in various night clubs where light levels are pretty dim and the results were wonderful. Taking videos in places as stated above the results were also great.
