I've already made some great indoors. Thanks to the in the initial focal length of 28 mm high-aperture objective and obviously a good CCD beautiful interiors can sometimes be taken without the flash. The noise performance is good, the picture quality is very good.
The video mode offers no HD, but is still of very good quality and, thanks to moderate memory consumption while on vacation to turn a couple of small films (per minute about 85 megabytes).
Is a bit annoying that the camera manual is only delivered electronically as a PDF. If you prefer a printed manual, you can immediately spend money on (Canon) printer ink or for EUR 13, it in a small, bound format at Canon - order. Positive is the fact that the camera offers expandable short explanations for each function.
The operation is successful, the camera quickly, especially with sequential shots with and without flash. When Mode 'C' (Custom) moves in conjunction with the setting auto flash selbiger out in any event, even if it is then not required because of the bright environment; An error in the firmware? And if I am already at wishes for changes to the firmware: in the manual modes is adjusted very easily when taking pictures by holding the camera, the front control dial with the respective associated function. One way in manual mode to lock when shooting would be nice and would spare incorrect recordings!
The camera is quite compact and with 200g (incl. Battery) wherever you go. The 'feel' could be better, but if you learn where you can touch and hold the camera well (be careful, because of how 'Kai out of the box' out rocketing flash!), It is OK. Using the included hand strap still recommended. The camera body is mostly made of metal, the processing generally dibasic. However, I have found in my copy, that the left plastic top from the lightning (where I while shooting the finger laying) something can be pressed, and thereby creaks. If this in your / your copies also?
The Leather Case Canon DCC-1400 and an additional battery, eg by Hahnel (this, incidentally, with very practical storage box) fit perfectly to the camera. Am very satisfied with the device, so full five stars.
Strong buy recommendation, when the camera is said to have compact but luminous intensity and a very good image quality.
