5 Stars Pocket Camera
Easy to carry in your pocket. Image stabilization works well. Just finished two week vacation and batteries still have 3/4 charge.

5 Stars Great Camera
Just go to auto mode and shoot away. One of the smartest Auto modes I’ve used in any camera. Picture is kind of grainy at 100% but who cares. I don’t upload 4000×3000 images anyway. Great, solid feel. Buttons are small but still very much usable.

5 Stars Love it!
I love this camera! It takes beautiful pictures. I highly recommend it. But be ready to read the manual. The things this camera can do are amazing! I still have yet to learn what all the buttons do. But then again, I’m not that technologically savvy.

5 Stars Great little camera
This little camera is awesome! It fits great in my purse, it takes beautiful pictures and videos and is very easy to use.

4 Stars Small and Portable
I LOVE this camera, the quality of the pictures are incredible and the zoom is outstanding. My only issue is the static it has before you snap a photo and after you record a video. Aside from that I won’t trade it for any other

4 Stars Case works like a charm
Case for my wife’s Canon SD1100 fit’s the camera perfectly. It looks good and protects the camera yet keeps it readily accessible. The only negative aspect is that the case is a little too bulky. Would be better for carrying in a purse if case was made of slightly thinner material and a bit smaller – but then it might not provide as much protection.

5 Stars Beware!
The product I bought is excellent. However, I did have a bad experience with this purchase. I used my debit card to pay for the item. The next morning the Card Company security called and informed me that unusual activity had taken place. Someone had made unauthorized purchases using my card number. It took a while to get the situation corrected. I had not used the card for several weeks prior to the Amazon.com purchase. I strongly suspect that my card number was stolen during or after this transaction. I had to cancel my debit card and get another with a different number.

2 Stars Worthless; I threw it away
When I bought my new camera I bought this case with it, thinking I might find nothing better. When I received it I saw that it does not fully enclose the camera, allowing rain and snow in. Furthermore, the magnetic closure is not realiable. This case is worthless. I felt it was too inexpensive to return so I threw it away. I found a much better case at Wal-Mart.

4 Stars sleek
The carrying case is very sleek and sophisticated. I just wish there was an inner pocket to place extra cards/batteries.

5 Stars Very fashionable looking with the powershot light gray or dark gray camera!
Very nice, sophisticated looking case! Real leather with a very soft velvet type material on the inside. Camera fits nice and snug, to protect it! Highly recommend this accessory!I have the Dark gray Canon Powershot SD1200is Digital ELPH camera, awesome camera, nice case!

4 Stars A Great Camera for somone wanting a bit more than what the smaller point and shoots have to offer
I would like to start off by saying that I am not a very advanced photographer but I wanted to get a camera that offered more than what the compact point and shoots have to offer. The main feature about this camera (aside from the Canon name which I prefer) is the great optical zoom. I go to alot of sporting events and this camera is great for zooming in and getting clear shots of the action. I am usually sitting relatively far away in the stands but the zoom makes me feel right there. It also has alot of features that you can select from for a particular setting (ie sunset) or you can manually adjust the setting and focus to your liking. I think this is a good feature because right now I am not advanced and generally use the preset selections but if I learn more about photography I can still use this camera to make my own modifications. I like the fact that it takes AA batteries because if you run out of battery life, its easy to replace them on the go. One thing I want to point out, although not a major problem, is that the battery compartment is a bit hard to open. The picture quality is great and what I have come to expect from Canon. Overall, if you are looking for a moderatley small camera that offers the casual photographer great photo quality and gives you a great zoom with some extra features, this is the camera for you. Some people on here that rate cameras expect too much out of their point and shoot….its not an SLR so the photos in all situations are not perfect, but for its class it does a fine job. If you need every little detail to be perfect in any lighting condition, then go for the SLR.

3 Stars Good camera, but it lacks features
It is a good camera, as a powershot S1, S2, and S5 ex-user, I bought it because of its portability. I love the powershot S series ultra-zoom cameras, but now I want a smaller camera. But keep in mind, in this case, smaller the size, fewer the features. So this review is directed to S-series users that look for ultra-zoom portability.

First the good:

- Good image quality, IMHO. As I am not a professional, just an enthusiast, my amateur eyes tell me that the quality is almost the same of my previous S5, maybe a little more noisy.

- AA batteries: For me it is a must!

- Good battery life: Not as good as S series, as it uses only 2 AA, but It lasts two days of heavy using. in my last vacation, I took more than 1000 pictures, lots with flash, and changed the batteries maybe 4 times at most – Sony Cycle Energy 2000 mAh.

- Good optical image stabilization: same performance as S-series

- Manual control over shutter/apperture/ISO. A must!

- I-contrast: I realy think it works! The dark areas with bright background photos are better than the ones with S5.

- Automatic lens cover: No more manually covering the lens like on S-series.

Now the bad:

- No color accent!!!! Why Canon? As it is a software feature, why strip this useful feature (I think) from this camera? I loved it on my S5 and now it is gone. (Ok, I could do it with photoshop…)

- No color swap too – I did not use this one very much, so no big deal for me.

- No stich assist!!!!! Why again, Canon? No space left on the function dial? No space for more Digic4 code?

- No optical zoom with video… I am not a camera engineer, but it looks like a very difficult feature to fit on smaller cameras. As a user, I think: move the zoom lens, keep focusing and evaluating exposure – No big deal. It does not seem to be difficult, but, it may be, as a lot of pocket cameras lacks this feature. Sx120 has only digital zoom while recording videos (I hate the output quality of digital zoom), so I do not use it. For the record, you can use the optical zoom before starting the video recording, but it gets locked on this position until the video recording stops.

- No HD video: For me, it is no big deal, I like the 640×480 quality.

Bottom line: S-series users, it is a good camera, but I do not know why some good software features were stripped. I have accepted that it is the price for portability (it can fit on a large pocket), but as soon as a new AA-battery, compact, ultra zoom model with the SX120 lacking features comes around, I will sell this camera.

5 Stars Good for Amatuer and Advavced users. EZ Controls.
As a Good Amatuer who carried Japanese Analog Camera’s for 40 years,and now have tried 6 Digital camera’s,including Panasonic’s DMC-TZ5,I must say: “Wow!” Very simple to understand instructions , plus straight forward controls, and even the in “Auto” mode it produces XLNT results( very good brain input integration). But in the Creative modes of “Apeture and “Shutter Priority” you can do Professional work. The Nickel Hydride “AA” batteries and their large capacity, work very well in this Camera. All Camera’s I have seen/tried in this price range have some noise over 400 ISO. Sometimes I read reviews of those who have bought High Res. Camera’s, but have no way to view the better resolution result, because their Monitor is limited. Thus their disappointment in better and higher resolution camera purchases is a result of their reviewing source. This Camera will not disapppoint those “who know their stuff.” Amatuers will apprecate it’s “Brain.” Buy this Camera! A wonderful bargain in my opinion.

5 Stars Well worth the money!
This camera fit the bill perfectly for me. Fair price, ease of use and good picture and video quality. Image stabilization is awesome and the zoom is fantastic. Large LCD screen is also a plus.

5 Stars Great camera for the money
A super point and shoot camera. On a recent tour of RI Lighthouses I took many photos and I was completely satisfied with the results. Battery life is good if you get the latest in rechargeable batteries. To get the most out of this camera you need to read the instruction booklet that unfortunately did not come with the camera. You have to get it on line and if you want a copy you have to print it. All 141 pages. It took forever to print. This is the only negative I have about my purchase. Aside from Canon trying to save printing costs, I am quite happy with the camera.I do miss the viewfinder though.

5 Stars Canon G-10
When we were looking for a new camera, I asked an employee her opinion, as her father was a professional photographer. He recommended the Canon G 10. I bought the camera on Amazon. I got an excellent price an a wonderful, portable camera, We are very happy with the purchase.

5 Stars Another Canon success
I got this for U/W Photography with the Canon housing. The controls are fairly intuitive and the displays that pop up are quite readable, even under water (think stress and other issues). I have also had a Canon SX3, replaced it with and SX1 (both for above water use), and this G10 has all the same moves and positives- plus that thing about every change I make pops-up momentarily on the view screen- pretty idiot proof. For U/W, I didn’t need the pan/tilt/swivel view screen, but if I were using this above water, the G11 offers that important feature. Great machine, but again, for above water use, I liked the grip-ability of the SX1 better. Great battery life and powerful flash. I would buy it again.

5 Stars seriously like the G10
The image quality is the cake of the G10, the ease of function adjustment is the icing on the cake… Being able to shoot in a very wide range of conditions, and have the large view screen preview what you’re getting is a serious advance from my previous point and shoot. The well calibrated white balance settings are a particular favorite, followed closely by exposure compensation dial and the panoramic stitch, neutral density (mechanical!) filter, folder functions… but none of this would matter if the image quality wasn’t so sweet.

5 Stars Canon G10 – Good product
I have it for a few months. My previous one was the G3 and I also have a EOS.

The G10 is great for a camera in its level. It gives you full control when you want it or full automation.

Size is small compared to performance. I was hesitating between this and the thin Sony cameras since I wanted a small camera that is easy to carry when I don’t want to carry a big SLR. Eventually I decided to go for this and I’m happy I did. I even took it instead of an SLR for a 3 week vacation I was on just now and pictures are good.

It does take a bit of time between one picture to the other but this is the price of using this type of camera and not SLR.

Battery life is really great. I kind of forget I need to charge it once in a while.

I recommend this product.

4 Stars excellent quality
In short camera is excellent quality and very precise imaging, but it is difficult to get used to the camera to the presence of many features as possible to get used to it over time

* The screen is very sensitive and prone to scratches, so be sure to put the camera in a bag.

5 Stars It’s Okay
The Canon PowerShot SD780 IS camera fits in this leather case. Quality of the case is quite good. It should serve well for transporting the camera while protecting against bumps and wet weather. You might find cheaper, but you won’t find better.

5 Stars Works well for SD940IS.
Contrary to what another reviewer wrote, this case accommodates my SD940IS very well. It is initially a little tight (just as all leather cases) but as long as you put the cord through the hole in the case, it works beautifully. If you don’t thread through the top hole, then it will not close securely. Perhaps this could be easily solved by getting a different camera cord that didn’t have a plastic component?

SD780 measurements: 87 x 56 x 18 mm (3.4 x 2.2 x 0.7 in)

SD940 measurements: 89 x 55 x 20 mm (3.5 x 2.2 x 0.8 in)

Yes, the SD940 is ever-so-slightly longer (2mm) and thicker (2mm) than the SD780 but I can verify that the case does in fact fit my SD940. Extremely high quality case.

5 Stars Keeper
This fits perfectly my Canon camera and is a good quality product. Made in China

5 Stars Does The Job
Fits and protects my SD780 IS perfectly. A little on the expensive side for what it is, but worth it to protect my camera.

5 Stars Fits SD940 IS like a glove …
Reading the other review, I was skeptical if it would fit my new SD940 IS – which I really love for it’s size and handling. Anyway: I can confirm that PSC-1050 fits SD940 IS like a glove. Yes, the handle-string needs to be pulled all through – on the way in&out – which is normal and no big deal from my point of view. Then the flap closes perfectly = nice and snug. It’s quality leather will protect the camera perfectly w/o making it bulky. A bonus would have been a small pocket in the front or whereever for an extra battery. With storage cards in the range of 16 GB which I usually can’t “fill” in a month of vacation photos, there is no need to constantly carry another card arround. But, the battery is a different issue. Mine are usually drained after a couple days – and I really like to drain them fully to keep their life up. Therefore, yes, I have been running out of “battery power” from one day to the next and therefore a small clever pocket for a spare battery would be A BIG PLUS on every camera case. … other than that PSC-1050 is perfect also for Canon SD 940.
