The Canon does really great pictures. Everything is arranged almost like my previous IXUS 970IS, so no problem with the rotary wheels. At the lightning you have to get used to and be careful with the finger position. This works for a while. I have the newer version with a 5 on the 6.Stelle the serial number. My battery lasts less than 25 minutes from the video shoot. That the battery is flashing, a must not interfere, apparently they do not get it under control. Luckily I had the negative voices on this camera only read after I had already ordered. I would recommend never a completely overhauled to buy, because then you only get a camera that still had its teething problems.
