Good point and shoot. Easy to use and offers the ability to manually control aperture and shutter speed.

The SX210IS is a great point and shoot camera. It is small in size but big on features. The zoom is amazing for a camera this size. The only flaw in this otherwise great camera is that there is no viewfinder. High megapixel combined with the zoom make this a great camera that I would recommend to anyone.

Used first time for a fashion show in NYC. The movie one button convenience is great. To take fast action still pictures put the camera in P mode and adjust the ISO rating. It will take great indoor action photos fast in fairly low light (no flash) in this mode. Most important is to READ the MANUAL that comes with the camera (it is in CD form and I printed it out and put it in a binder for future reference). Also read the parts about computer downloads. The view grid is great for composition and the wide angle/optical telephoto is superb for ever shot imaginable. I can use one lens for everything. Best with a 16 GB memory. Huge LCD screen. I almost never need the flash, so I keep it down. Best way to hold camera is thumb and index fingers of left hand at either end, in the grooves, if using the flash, then click with right hand. Experiment with P and other modes, as well as auto mode. This is an advanced amateur, semi-pro-professional camera that beats SLR cameras in size and meets their performance in lens and pixel density, and it weighs next to nothing, fits in the shirt pocket, and does video as well as still. Great buy.

good image quality

I carry this camera with me all the time. It has an amazing 14x zoom; it shoots in low light; it is highly compact and does fit in a pocket. It has handy auto shoot settings when a wink or a smile is sensed, or when a person joins a group. It has a wide angle lens that can get all eight people at a dinner table. Its only deficiency is the lack of a view finder.

this camera is a truly AMAZING camera i love it .it is the best camera i have ever owned its featutes are superb. pros:everything about it cons:nothing at all bad

Great zoom. Can replace larger, bulkier, cameras and lenses for travel.

The 14x optical zoom makes more pictures possible even from far away. The small size of the camera is a big plus for carrying in my purse. The buttons are very small and probably would be a problem for people with big fingers. The pictures are very sharp on the auto setting. The image stabilization makes sharp close up pictures possible even when the wind is blowing some of the flowers or leaves. I haven't learned how to take still pictures of 4th of July fireworks yet but the movies were quite good. I've only had the camera for a week and haven't had time to read the directions fully. I would definitely buy it again and have already recommended it to a friend.

Very user friendly! Only drawback is you have to be careful not to put your finger over the flash flip up when you turn it on.

Will use this camera to take pictures of the grandchildren, school functions, scenery, wildlife, vacations. I love this camera!
