Because there is so much to learn I'm doing a little each day. Have taken a couple of shots and image quality is excellent. I can tell with the little exploration I've done the features of this camera are high-quality. The only thing that bugs me is setting the date. The month and year are fine, but the day only goes to 12 and then back to 1. I'm going to call Canon eventually to see if this can be fixed. Maybe they know how to reset the camera to factory settings. It's not a deal breaker, but it would be nice if I can get the day set correctly. You can download the user manual from the Canon site and it tells you everything you need to know about the operation of the camera. All in all I think the value is excellent. The camera is beautifully designed and I am generally happy with it.
Needed a good travel camera, i.e. very small, but has decent zoom and gives good images. Although I've only made test pics so far, this seems to do the trick. And the price was just right. Also got it incredibly fast. Good package!
