I charged the battery before first use and behold, I have 270 photos and videos made with one battery charge. I do not know that there is to go wrong, but I have a lot of flash and genutz often marveled at the really successful pictures on the screen.
Very good, I like the very short response time, which is unique snapshot Tough.
Positives:
- Very small and light
- In my opinion very good image quality with beautiful colors
- Short response time
- Battery life, when one considers the size
- Amazing HD videos (zooms since slowed) without NOISE when zooming
- Housing looks wertig
Negatives:
- NO Delete button -> the only thing that really bothers me. In the IXUS 105 was not too bad!
- The menu I find a bit awkward, especially the
- The keys can be palpate not quite so simple
From me a clear buy recommendation for someone of a small handy digital camera is looking.
Very important: The best camera is the one that is the crucial moment there!
Update 03/05/2011:
I have now made 880 photos and videos with the camera and it just 3 Battery charge required (2x original Canon battery, 1x White Replacement Battery). Among them are also more than 10GB HD-ready video. So I am using the battery power more than satisfied. The quality of the videos is really awesome, but this comes at a price, because the files are very large (1min correspond approx 180MB)
