Customer Reviews

Upsetting
The camera has been very useful and reliable for the past 7 months or so, good photos and the IS system is extremely useful especially when taking night time shots without a flash! HOWEVER i have had a constant problem with the lens, sometimes it would not retract and sometimes it would, sometimes it would not come out, and sometimes it would. Now having had it for not even a year the lens is stuck and will not retract at all. This means that i cannot use the camera as it will not turn on without telling me there is a lens error and therefor turns off immediatley. Very dissapointing for a Canon camera. Would not deter people from buying but would get them to double check the warranty they are given when buying it from any store to ensure it covers error including the lens! I have a friend who has a canon although not this model and exactly the same fault appeared on his after only 7 months! Come on Canon get it sorted!

Canon but..
I owned this camera for almost 6 months now. I tried almost all settings and possible manual and automatic settings but I still get blurry pictures. I bought this after seeing my friend's photos with an elder model of Canon but this has been a great disappointment. Yea it it takes some good pictures but many bad ones. The nice strong body, long battery life and different image settings are worth nothing if you end up with a bad picture.

Very disappointed with this camera and with Amazon
Unfortunately I'm very disappointed with this camera as I thought I was buying a very good one. Two in every ten photos seems to come out blurry or dark even worse than our old Olimpus (2 Megapixels) which never took a blurry photo. Then to make things worse when I tried to return the camera I couldn't print the return label on the first attempt and when I tried for a second time the label didn't even appear. I then tried to contact Amazon to complain and this was an impossible mission. First of all they don't show cleary on their website how to contact them, and secondly when I used the contact number that Amazon provided the only thing that you get is an automated message with no opportunity to leave a message yourself.
