Although I am old Canon customer (this is my 5th Canon digital camera), but so a quantum leap I had not expected. Even after 6 months with intensive use, I'm still totally fascinated by this "trouser pockets photo"!?! Like the HS system still captures Spike images even in low light conditions, is simply fascinating. The optical 20x zoom actually delivers what it promises! Even Moon Craters can be captured with settings optimized in such a way as if you were right in the Luna Orbit. Even at very low light indoors is a combination of self-timer and a mini tripod ensures thanks to the HS System for excellent recordings. With the GPS recording function you can record for weeks the coordinates for hiking or cycling every minute and also assign your own pictures. The route can then view / print in Google Earth. However, the photo memory card has to be inserted directly into a PC card reader reading slot to be able to read the GPS data. At the moment I do not know what I could expect more from a compact digital camera in this price range. Although I could not test other cameras comparable course, 5 stars are almost too little for this top engineering product.
