5 Stars LoveIt!
I received my first Canon PowerShot Elph from my brother over 4 years ago. So this was an upgrade for me. I loved my first one and I love this one.My mother has one, too, and she is very pleased with hers as well. I am still getting a feel for my new one, but I am very happy with it! The orange color is awesome! And the fact that you can recharge the battery appeals to my “green” side!

5 Stars Fantastic little camera!
This is a great little camera! You certainly can’t beat the quality for the price. I highly recommend this.

5 Stars Excellent for video and pictures, especially underwater!
We live in Guam, where the picture taking possibilities are endless. This little camera takes really great pictures both above water and underwater; we bought the underwater casing and my husband uses it while scuba diving, it takes beautiful underwater pictures and video. The lag time can get a little annoying if the picture preview is on; but that’s just basic digital camera issues. We’ve used this camera for video on several occasions and you wouldn’t be able to tell it was taken with a hand held camera instead of a video camera. When the camera arrived I was a little worried that the orange color would be more pastel, but I was pleasantly surprised by the bright orange color since orange is one of my favorite colors.

I used to be a strictly Nikon person, and I owned the Nikon CoolPix, but it was stolen a while back. We replaced it with this Cannon and it’s made us open our eyes to another brand. We still love Nikon, but Cannon has definitely reserved a spot on our list of favorites. My only complaint between the two is that the Cannon is a little bit thicker than the Nikon and doesn’t fit into my pocket as easily. But it’s still a great little camera to throw into my purse and take everywhere.

5 Stars Great Point & Shoot Camera
I bought this digital camera after my Canon SD750 broke, and so far it’s been great. Takes great quality pics and it’s very portable. I’m not one of those savvy camera guys where I know a lot about the different options a camera can do. I’m more of a “if it takes good pictures, then I’m sold” type of camera guy and this is a great camera if you’re looking for something you can take anywhere and have a great quality picture. I’ve heard complaints about the navigation buttons on the back, and although it was not as easy to use (as far as the buttons are concerened) as my old SD750, I didn’t find it to be to problematic or annoying. The only thing that could make this camera better is if they removed the optic viewer. It would have given more room for a bigger LCD screen. But that’s just my preference, some people prefer having the optic viewer. So in conclusion, great camera, great price. 100% recommend it to those looking for something simple that’ll do the everyday job of taking nice clean pictures.

4 Stars Nice little pocket camera

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.

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

5 Stars Annoying Lens Cap~ Great Camera
I am using this camera for college football. That means afternoon outside sport shooting. I have gotten great action shots. The video is easy enough.

I really like the adjustable viewfinder so I can shoot and watch the game. I have handed the camera off to 13 year olds and they are taking good pic’s.

I just changed batteries today,I have a couple hundred photo’s a handful of video. Changing out the batteries was awkward the fitting seemed off. The batteries lasted longer then I expected. I plan on doing the rechargeable route with 2 sets so I always have charged ones on hand. The lens cap is a huge hassle!! I would pay for a better lens cap. This one is cheap and doesnt fit well. It leaves the lens unprotected because it will pop off. I also would like a old fashioned type of camera bag that fits the camera. Other then the lame lens cap and bulky camera bag options this is a great camera for my use.

3 Stars Questions/Help!! This thing shakes and ticks.
Just bought this 3 weeks ago and on numerous occasions it makes ticking noises, shakes, vibrates, and other strange internal noises. Is anyone else having similar experiences with this camera?

4 Stars SX20IS Delivers – Almost
This is my first Canon product. Overall I am very pleased. I purchased early September 2009 just before a trip to the northwest including Victoria British Columbia. Comments from friends and family after seeing the pictures of whales, harbors, city lights, volcanic mountain peaks, and sunsets on the Oregon coast support the quality of the camera and the ability of an average photographer when coupled with a good camera. I do wish Canon would provide accessories to include U/V Clear Filter to offer basic lens protection, polarized filters to remove the sun reflection from my whale pictures (this would have doubled the quality of the pictures), and lens cap lanyard. Oh, a printed Users Guide sure would be nice. I ended up printing a dozen key pages from the installation disk to carry in the camera bag, a bulky alternative. I would buy the camera again.

5 Stars I love this camera~
I just received this camera a few days ago and I love it. It takes a while to figure out all the features, but once you get the hang of the settings you end up with some fantastic looking pictures. I mainly bought this for photographing my jewelry that I sell online, and it does an amazing job. I also enjoy taking nature photographs and so far this camera has delivered some terrific outdoor shots. I love the macro and super macro settings, they’re perfect for getting super-tight shots of my products. Everyone who has given this camera a bad review obviously didn’t take the time to tweak any of the settings. It takes a bit of patience to get the settings just right for your shot, and I am still learning all there is to know about this camera, but overall I am very happy with it. My only complaint is that the lens cap isn’t attached to the body of the camera and I have to put it in my pocket when I’m taking photos. I highly recommend this camera to anyone considering purchasing it.

4 Stars Camera Fun
I have a trip planned to the Holy Land and wanted a camera with good zoom. I believe this will handle my needs but can report more after this trip.

As of now, the only change I could suggest is some way to make a more sturdy lens cover or one that could be attached to some type cord. This may be the first thing I loose.
