Bad things first.... The charger Canon gives for free (UNIROSS) started working after 8 months of purchase. I had to buy a new charger because the dealer said the warranty doesn’t cover items provided free with the product.
The battery backup is NOT so good. The cells provided, when fully charged, help me click around 40-50 pics with flash on. However, with a pair of dura cell, I took around 70 pics.
The screen size is a bit small. Had it been a bit big, it was a brilliant camera. Rest about the camera, its very good. The picture quality, ease of operation, looks, zoom... all are good. I have been using this camera since last one year... and as far as I remember, only 7-8 pictures got blurred (out of some 1000 pics taken). Zoom is good. You can digitally enhance the 4x optical zoom to give around 16x. Overall, the camera is good and worth the price.
