1 Star Poor Sensor Quality
I will never buy Canon again. The “G” series is not as good as you think. My G9 sensor failed within 18 months. I sent it in to Canon for repair $169. Worked fine for 11 months, then the new sensor failed, with multiple dead pixels, and a phantom “line” vertically across my photos. For the price of these cameras, this is not acceptable.

Canon failed to make ANY sort of concession, they suggested I buy a NEW Canon. Right. A casual user might not notice the dead pixels cropping up, if they don’t do large prints. I suggest previous owners who have given good reviews take a “pixel-eye” view of their latest photos to see what I mean. They may be changing their ratings.

5 Stars Great camera!
Easy to use, great features ans not too bulky to carry around. Absolutely love this camera and the photos it takes!

5 Stars Canon G11 SDHC Memory Recommendation and Features
I’ll get around to the memory recommendation in a minute. I purchased the Canon G11 and a Canon underwater housing (130′ rated) for scuba diving. The combo works very well together. The camera has an underwater preset mode which produces exceptional scuba diving photos. The G11 was a little intimidating at first but after a few hours of punching buttons and reading the manual, it was clear that the camera has many advanced features and wasn’t all that difficult to use. It includes numerous preset modes, (underwater,snow,portrait,action,foliage,etc,etc,etc)to make taking great pictures easy. I was truly inpressed with the possibilities. I have taken numerous stills (with and without enhancements)and videos. The photos and video have been impressive. It can do color swap, and color enhancements, like taking a picture of a child holding a red rose and only the red rose has color, the child can remain black and white. Very cool stuff.

Back to the memory thing….

I wanted to know what Size (GB) and Class (2,4,6,10) of SDHC card Canon recommended to optimize the cameras performance. The new SDHC cards have a Size in gigabytes and a Class. (Some cards show a Multiplier like 100x, 133x or even 400x). The Class and the Multiplier are essentially the same thing, transfer speeds. The bigger the number the faster the transfer rate.

The camera doesn’t come with a memory card and the manual doesn’t tell you what to buy. So, I sent a note to Canon and they responded within 24 hours and answered me on a Sunday. “Thumbs up” on Canon Customer Service.

Here is there response:

Thank you for writing to us regarding Memory card choices for your PowerShot G11.

While we don’t publish the internal transfer rates for our cameras, the following information may assist you in deciding on memory cards:

Some memory cards rate their speeds by a “class.” Canon cameras are recommended to be used with cards rated are class 4 for SD (Standard Definition movies) and class 6 for HD (High Definition Movies) or higher because of the large amount of data being written to the card. As long as the card adheres to the following card standards, the memory card should be compatible regardless of the class or speed rating.

The PowerShot G11 will accept SDHC memory cards with a capacity of up to 32GB.

My Comments:

The cost for the SDHC cards vary all over the place. I have used a Class 2 card and it seemed to work fine. However, I wanted to see if bigger and faster was better so I ordered a Verbatim 16GB, Class 6 ($52). I got a “memory card error” with two of my cameras and now have to return it. (It was big, fast and cheap, but didn’t work). I have two other Sandisk Class 4 cards that work fine. So go with Sandisk. A little more money, but they work. I picked up a Sandisk SDHC 8GB Class 10 for around $58, shipped. The 8GB card gives you around 2990 photos or 240 minutes of video. The larger capacity cards seem to be exponentially more expensive. The Class 10 is fast enough for good recovery time between shots and high quality video. The Canon manual lists several different type of compatible memory, but go with the SDHC card.

I hope you find this helpful…..it’s a great camera, packed with features, and if you’re into scuba diving…even better.

3 Stars Huge disappointment after loving the G9 – all pictures are washed out – poor color quality1
I had the previous version, the Canon Powershot G9, and LOVED IT. It finally stopped working so I immediately ordered the most updated version, the G11. This camera was HORRIBLE. The color is completely washed out in every picture I took on my recent trip to Alaska, and is a huge disappointment. I even adjusted many different things along the way to try and remedy the color, but nothing worked. I will now spend much time “adjusting” the color using computer programs; which should not be required, but is the unfortunate situation. Positive features are the size, and a great battery life; however, if you are interested in a camera that will portray even a fraction of the vibrant colors and landscapes that you may encounter in amazing places like Alaska, look elsewhere. In addition, I am not sure why Canon chose to both reduce the megapixel size from previous versions (G9 was 12.0; G11 is 10.0) AND reduce the zoom range!

5 Stars Great Camera!!!!
I love photography- I have been snapping and developing my own film for years. However, it is a pain to always lug my professional camera with me; especially if I just want a night on the town with my girlfriends. Plus, sometimes I would want someone to take a picture for me and unfortunately unless someone knew about professional SLR cameras no one could work mine! So I had been looking for a professional quality point and shoot with convenience and ease that even an amateur photographer could grasp. And this was it!!!! It take gorgeous high quality shots, yet is simple to use and the rotating screen is excellent for self timed pictures or hard to see areas! I highly recommend this camera to both first time buyers and long standing photographers!

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great camera
The camera is easy to use with lots of great features and settings. Admittedly it sometimes feels too small, but that’s just a personal thing. The pictures that come out are very nice.

5 Stars great quality of pictures, easy to use
Pros: picture quality is good; macro is very nice for a compact camera; Auto mode is good enough is most case; compact size

Cons: when change mode, need to hit display key to find more mode options. However, I found it ok as I don’t use the other modes that often.

I’ve taken about 500 pictures and need to change the battery twice. Not sure how’s the battery life in about a year.

1 Star Horrible product
We bought this camera as a replacement for an older Canon Powershot the day before going on a trip. ALL the pictures came out blurry…really, really disappointing. I have since taken the same exact photo with this camera and the old one – its like night and day. Everything is either slightly out of focus or blurry – and its not user error! Just not sure how Canon can sell this shoddy quality equipment. Worst experience ever – never buying Canon again.

5 Stars Excellent camera
Excellent little camera. Very light and easy to take with on trips and such. Takes excellent pictures and is very user friendly. I would recommend this camera to anyone wanting a good priced camera that takes good quality pictures.

5 Stars Canon PowerShot SD1300 IS
NOTE:

I returned this camera to Amazon – but here’s the review anyway.

Pros:

1) Good point-and-shoot – works alright in most cases.

2) Small, sleek, light and handy. Fits in your pocket.

3) Zoom during recording video (some older models did not have this functionality).

4) Face detection works suprisingly well.

Cons:

1) Overexposure in Auto mode, sometimes.

2) No manual mode. Not even aperture priority or shutter speed priority modes.

3) Flimsy construction of (a) the battery and card slot door and (b) auto-program-video mode switch – I was scared they would come off every time I used it.

4) Static noise during video (an older canon camera I tried did not have this much noise).

5) No manual focus.

Summary:

This seems to be a good point-and-shoot. The overexposure problem can be corrected by exposure compensation in Program mode. I’d want a little more manual control over the settings (eg: shutter speed, f-stop, manual focus), and the Program mode doesn’t cut it. However, if you don’t need all that, this camera looks like a decent buy.

Misc:

Shipped fast, packaged well, product arrived in good condition.

Seller:

Amazon.com

Price:

$179.99

5 Stars Great point and shoot, case recommendation
Im not going to review the merits of this point and shoot camera. Other reviews pretty much echo the pros and cons. We find it a great portable point and shoot camera. The “wide angle” aspect really makes pictures look like they are encompassing more area compared to my previous cameras. I would recommend that users looking for a small sleek and fitting case get the Caselogic UNZT-2. We got it and fits wonders. Check out my review on that product for more details. Caselogic UNZT-2 Compact Camera Case (Blue/Compressed Flower)

5 Stars Pack & Go
I am a big fan of Canon and Nikon products. This camera is a little gem as it is light and portable. I use a Canon for work related matters and it serves my needs quite well. Its compact style makes it all the more appealing.

If you need something that is user friendly and ready to go, then you want this camera.

5 Stars Great Camera
Purchased two of these for my daughters. They both love this camera. The camera was recommended by Consumer Reports. Takes very good pictures and fun to use. Have had good luck with other Canon digital cameras for years. Easy to hold and use of the controls.

4 Stars Be Aware–No printed manual comes with the camera
I just bought this camera a few days ago to serve as a back-up camera for me while I send my Canon SD870IS out for service as well as be something my daughter can use as she gets more involved in taking her own photos. So far, this seems to be a pretty good camera and many of the features I was already used to using on my other Canon are there, but some are not as easy to locate as they are on the SD870. That’s where reading the detailed 148-page users manual will come in handy. Unfortunately, despite reading quite a few positive reviews about the camera before purchasing it, I never noticed anyone mention the fact that Canon is no longer providing the PRINTED copy of the 148-page users manual in the box. It’s great that it is provided on a CD and is easily loaded to your computer, particularly when you have misplaced the printed copy and need to look something up, but that’s not very convenient for when you are a new owner and are trying to learn to use the camera or don’t have access to your computer and need to find out how to do something. I definitely want to have a printed copy of the manual, so I now have to decide if I am going to print it myself or buy a copy of the manual from someone online who sells camera manuals. This is an unexpected expense and unexpected delay in getting up to speed on taking advantage of the capabilities of the camera. It’s only been 2 1/2 years since I bought my last Canon camera–and it came with a printed manual–so I was not aware of this obvious cost-cutting step that Canon has taken with it products. I’m still glad that I have the camera, but I don’t appreciate having to get my own copy of the printed manual. I would have preferred to pay a bit more for the camera in order to have the manual there in the box. FYI…If you lose the Canon CD that your manual is on and no longer have it on your computer, you can download the manual from the Canon web site and can read it online just fine, but if you have to print it out from a download you get from the Canon web site it will print with the word ‘COPY’ in a medium-gray color across each page. You can, however read through the medium-gray ‘COPY’.

5 Stars WOW
What a camera !! the pics are beautiful and the options are amazing , this is definitely the best of non-touch screen , digital camera.

The design is also nice and the size is perfect .

3 Stars No HDMI cable
Just got the camera, and so far so good. nice quality photos and innovative features. But it reacts a little slower than I hoped for – my 7 year old Sony is about the same speed – albeit 1/3 the mega pixels. But I’m a little disapointed that a camera touting HDMI output requires me to get cable separately (they include an analog style red/white/yellow cable like what you used with a VCR) So I will have to wait for the accessory cable to arrive to see how my photos and videos look on the 50″ plasma. I skipped the canon brand $40 HDMI and ordered a $4 no name brand. Keep in mind this is mini hdmi to hdmi. I jut feel that for the price $329 they could include the cable that takes advantage of HD video and HDMI output offered on this model.

BTW my charger is a nice compact unit with a built in plug – nice to avoid yet another charger cable.

3 Stars Good camera, only if you know what you’re getting
This review is my personal opinion. I bought this camera elsewhere, but Amazon is still perfectly safe. The SX210IS has a wide screen LCD. This is great is you like to take a lot of movies. If not, the screen is just too big for the pictures that it takes. I bought it mistakenly thinking that it could take shots in the same shape as a print, that is 4 by 6. But this camera does not do that. It takes 4:3 shots and 16:9 shots (as in standard and wide screen TVs). Most folks will want 4:3 and for this, the screen is too wide. The camera has what reviewers call “heft.” I call it heavy. Too heavy for my shirt pocket. On the plus side, it takes very decent pictures and has a number of settings usually found on SLRs, such as Aperture and Speed priorities. In short, if you want a mini-SLR and you don’t mind the default 4:3, than this camera will work great. On the other hand, if you want a second camera, one to just throw in your purse or carry in your pocket, then look for something lighter.

5 Stars Great Camera!
The picture quality is great and the size and weight are perfect. I wanted a camera small enough to carry around in my purse but that also created great quality pictures and that is exactly what I found in this camera.

5 Stars Love it!
This is a great camera. It takes beautiful pictures about as well as an SLR camera! The only downfall, is the high amount of megapixels make the videos harder to download. Not a big problem and its worth it for the beautiful pictures!

4 Stars My thoughts on SX210
First off – background on me and what I was looking for: I would classify myself as an intermediate photographer. I own a Nikon DSLR which I use primarily for low light situations having learned the hardway at my son’s 18th birthday that my old point-and-shoot did a lousy job of photos in low light situations. I am planning a trip to Europe in the fall and simply did not want to lug my Nikon camera around with me along with all the other stuff – like map, dictionary, travel guide – that I would have to take with me as I wandered around whatever town I was in. So I started my search for a really good PNS camera. What was I looking for in the PNS ? My goal in picture taking is to have a terrific photo of what I actually saw. So when I got home and looked at the photo, I would say: Yes, that’s exactly what it looked like when I was there. So onto my criteria: First size. I wanted it to be small enough to fit comfortably in a pocket. Second, confidence that it would take good to great photos under normal (not low-light) conditions. Third, I liked the idea of HD videos of my trip, so I wanted that capability. Fourth and finally, at least decent performance in low light conditions as I expected to frequently want to take photos inside a museum or art gallery.

The search turned out to be much more difficult than I had expected. Frustratingly difficult I will add. No one camera is loved by all reviewers. So those of you reading this review, who are still searching, I feel your pain. I came to the conclusion that currently there is no perfect PNS that does it all. I would do hours of research on the web and then go to the local camera store to actually play with the PNS cameras that had caught my interest. In the end I concluded that there are 3 or 4 reasonably good PNS cameras out there, but all of them required me to compromise on something I wanted. So figure out what your must-haves are and sort through the available cameras accordingly.

Obviously I chose the Canon SX210. I have had it about 3 weeks now and have taken about 200 photos and about 6 HD movies. My comments in no particular order:

1. the Canon does a good but not outstanding job of taking photos under normal daylight conditions. I did play with several photos on my computer and kept zooming in on a particular point to see when the picture would deteriorate. Of course it did eventually, but again, since 8.5 x 11 is the max size I expect for any enlargement, I do not see any problem with the picture quality.

2. the HD video capability is more fun than I had expected. Again as already noted, the mic’s are located on the top of the camera. Great for recording my commentary, but not so good for recording sounds coming from whatever you are videoing. One other point: the Canon allows you to zoom in while taking an HD video. That’s great, but with 14X optical zoom, the more you zoom, the more susceptible the camera and the video you are taking is to shaking. If you zoom all the way to 14X, I found it impossible to avoid shaking when holding the camera in my hand. At no zoom, there is no problem with shake when taking a video. Bottom line: limit your zooming in when taking a video.

3. I agree with everyone else that placement of the pop-up flash and the telephoto zoom in-and-out mechanism is NUTS. What were the Canon engineers thinking ? However both are annoyances rather than deal-breakers.

4. the battery life is reasonable but not outstanding. I never ran out of battery life during a day of shooting photos and the battery re-charges in about 2-3 hours. Not bad.

5. Speed – I bought 2 Sandisk Extreme III 4 GB Class 6 SD disks. I agree with the suggestions that you have to step up to a Class 6 disk to avoid serious delays when writing the photo to the disk. I also decided against one 8GB disk since I did not want all my pics on one disk. Back to speed – I also turned off the automatic review after each photo taken, and found that improved the speed of the picture taking noticeably. You can also turn on continuous picture taking and take a “burst” of photos if so desired. Bottom Line: speed is fast enough for my needs.

6. Definitely buy a plastic shield (or cover?) to protect the 3″ LCD screen on the back. The Apple Store has them if you can’t find them cheaper any place else.

7. The camera feels surprisingly heavy to me. But solid. I guess 14X optical zoom does create some weight.

8. I set the camera on 9MP pictures since 14MP is overkill for me. I would never enlarge a photo to more than 8.5 x 11 anyway. I left the movie on HD settings however. Dumming down the photos to 9MP also improves the write-to-disk speed BTW.

9. Expect a serious learning curve with this camera. I printed out the manual from the PDF file and it is 180 pages. Not all was relevant to me and my interests, but still I have spent several hours reading and re-reading sections of the manual. Since I will not take the manual with me on my upcoming trip, I have to know how to manipulate this camera.

10. The 14X optical zoom is really impressive. While that was not a top consideration for me, having that capability is very cool. You can easily zoom in to an amazing degree on something from a considerable distance away.

11. Low-light – I am still working on this one and how to manipulate the camera to get the best LL photos. In dim lighting it does OK – by upping the ISO, so you pay a price in the quality of the photo. In the black of night – it does OK if the subject of the photo is not more than 6-8 ft away from you. But I tried a photo at night of the moon shining off the Pacific ocean from my balcony and that did not work. Not a real surprise, but like I said, I need to experiment more in this area.

In summary – I would describe this camera as being a really solid good versatile PNS. You can put it on full Auto and snap away happily, or switch to one of several pre-defined settings (landscape, portrait etc), or if you are really into it, go all the way to completely manual and set everything yourself. That’s not for me – but you do have that capability. The HD Videos are great, but even a short one takes up about 80-90MB of disk space. And as noted, you are unlikely to pick up the sounds from whatever it is you are videoing. PS: I have never encountered the much discussed problem with lens shadow.

All-in-all a solid performer in an amazingly small form factor that will do what I am looking for and more on my upcoming trip to Europe.
