This is a great camera for outdoor shots, or very well-lit indoor shots, but if the flash is used indoors for any reason, it makes the picture look like we live in a dark cave - very fake lighting.
My other problem is that it eats through batteries like there's no tomorrow. About every 10 pictures or 1 video its demanding fresh batteries and it takes alot longer to get to where it can take a picture. Not great when I want to capture scrapbook-able moments with my 3 young'uns. I'm missing alot. In the grand scheme of things, I really dislike this camera. It has too many features I'll never use because I'm too busy being frustrated with the features I DO use.
"Great camera !"

I got this camera as a Christmas present back in 2006. I've been using it solidly ever since, mostly for events (graduations, parties, etc), but also as a way to explore the city I live in. I have dropped it dozens of times, it's been knocked over, sat on, kicked, and always comes back with absolutely amazing pictures (many of my friends and family can't believe what can be done with this camera, despite its lack of manual lens control). In fact, I was just using it for a birthday party this weekend.
Last night, it was knocked from my hands - lens extended - and fell down a flight of brick steps. It returned a lens error message to me, and wouldn't turn on. Today, a friend of mine popped the lens back into place (it had apparently bent at an unhealthy angle), and it's back to working like it did on Christmas Day.
In short, I love this camera. My only recommendation would be to make sure you get good batteries, as mine seems to have slowly lost its edge with battery life over time. But that aside, this wonderful camera seems to be nearly indestructible, and takes great pictures to boot. Cannon has won a lifetime customer.

The image quality is not so great... My sony ericcson mobile has 2.3 Mega pixel and that quality almost as good as this.even though that is less megapixel.
Not happy with the size/shape. It cannot be easily carried by putting it in our pocket.
