The camera is very handy to use and carry around and that was the main reason that I bought this. Moreover Canon is a trusted brand in the camera brands.The looks are really good and the size and shape is also fit for easy carrying purpose. Keep it in a carrying pouch and you won’t even know that you are actually carrying such a thing.The camera is efficient in day light or at night with the flashes on. At 16mp it gives an apple resolution to the pics which is very appealing.Low light photography how ever is very poor as shutter speed can’t be carried much and the automatic adjustment is very poor.Motion blur is very significant . Battery life is quite stable and useful at around 3 hrs.Aperture variation is not possible too( meaning that the portraits won’t be that appealing) .Overall considering the fact that it is not a DSLR , the options are quite good, but there are other cams with better specs at this rate. This could be a good honey cam to take pictures of memories and stuff but not at all good for professional photography.
