Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon PowerShot SD950IS 12.1MP Digital Camera with 3.7x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Titanium)
Customer Review: Picture review stopped working after 3 uses
Summary: 3 Stars
I liked this camera for the few days I had it. I thought the review button was an interesting new addition but it stopped working after a few uses. I returned it for a refund and am keeping my trusty SD900 which has just as good a picture. When I checked the Canon web site for troubleshooting tips this problem did come up and all they could say was to return it to Canon for repair. A $400 camera should not have to be repaired right away so back it went.Customer Review: Design issues, cheap assembly
Summary: 2 Stars
The problem with the SD950 camera is the same as other SD cameras, the design of the panels leaves big gaps between the panels (mostly on the top of the camera), this camera has realy big gap problem. Canon has cut some corners to save money and this makes the camera look cheap. It is a shame because the material used for the outer panels is of excellent quality.
The plastic battery door is also cheap and flimsy.
Suggestion for the next SD: more screws to well tight the outer panels, and better battery doors, and, please, keep production in Japan!
The best SD camera so far: SD850.
Customer Review: I would have given this camera 5 stars! Until today . . .
Summary: 2 Stars
Wonderful little camera and I love the ability to choose options, instead of a straight point and shoot. It's a little pixelated at 1600 ISO, so that was easy. Just don't use the 1600!! Great pictures!
However, I noticed that the screen was down and thought maybe there was a button I overlooked. But after checking thoroughly online, I see that this is an ongoing problem with several of the PowerShot models. I'm terribly disappointed that I have to pay to get this camera repaired when it just hasn't had that much use in the last two years. I hope this doesn't cost more that $100 to fix. :(
Customer Review: Glaring Ommission
Summary: 2 Stars
I like the quality of the outdoor photos. Indoor photos have some problems with redeye even when redeye is enabled. I still would have given this camera 4 stars but for one glaring ommission. I have to resize EVERY photo that I take in order to print 4" x 6" photos. In looking at the specs, I see that the camera isn't capable of 3264 x 2176 resolution. Who would have thought that such a popular resolution would be ommitted from this camera. I would think that there would be numerous complaints about this glaring ommission but there isn't. What am I missing?Customer Review: 950 lost some of the features of the 750
Summary: 2 Stars
The Canon SD 950IS takes good pictures, but the change from a relatively cubicle shape to a 'jelly-bean' shape makes it hard to hold, and difficult to place on a flat surface. Also, it is much thicker than our SD750, and the bulk makes itself felt when trying to hold the camera for multiple pictures. It simply does not fall into the hand the way the SD750 does. This appears to be change for the sake of change, rather than a real improvement. We find that we continue to use the SD750 more than the recently purchased SD950IS.
