Where is so much light, there are also some shade.
1. The display is not very well resolved here to see the photos often somewhat blurry. On the computer or on paper they are really sharp. This issue, there are many digicams. Here Panasonic is much better in meienen eyes.
2. The flash charging time is a bit long. But in the flash intensity he must have a little longer to load.
3. The printed manual and on CD is a joke. So you have to try a lot when you're a beginner when it comes to handling at Canon. Should If you offer a camera with so many options to provide also a detailed documentation. Here Canon should learn from Panasonic. They have a 5 times more extensive manual at the start with many tricks for designing optimum photo despite much less Einsellmöglichkeiten.
Conclusion: This camera is particularly suitable for people who want to try a bit in the settings of a digicam more and do not want to spend so much money, because the technology within 1 - 2 years, is already back much further and then must again anyway another Cam ago.
