Handling is great and the pictures are for such an inexpensive camera also fine. Unfortunately, getting the lens but pretty quickly from scratch. When turning the lens cover closes so just above the glass, that even by small dust grains elongated scratch - which are then visible in every picture - up. Camera was complained, shipping had to be paid, repairs would rd. 150 euros cost. Returning the camera again 20 euros shipping. So buy rather expensive camera. Anyone looking for a good, inexpensive camera, should not opt for the Canon PowerShot itself.
