Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this camera about 15 days back. I have used it a couple of times indoors, outdoors and indoors with low-light conditions.
Used correctly, this camera does a great job of taking good quality images. I had to play with the camera for about 15-20 mins to get familiar with it so I could take the best pictures possible. My sister owned a Powershot A530 before this one and i had the same experience with that too.
This camera fits nicely in your jeans pocket and is quite light.
You will need a tripod to take good low-light shots. I have a cat and a rabbit and a 3 yr old nephew - The kids and pets setting really works well to take pictures of them. Generally the few manual settings it does have are good enough for a serious amateur photographer.
One gripe I do have is that with regular AA alkaline batteries the flash recycle time can go up to 8 seconds and the camera is blank and unusable during this time. This of course is a problem with most canon Powershots. The solution I have found is to use batteries made specifically for taking pictures (Duracell makes some) or just use rechargeable NiMH batteries. This works great. Almost down to 1 sec between shots with that.
Overall I'd definitely recommend this camera to anyone. But you have to be a little patient and get used to it first - I think this is true for any good camera out there though.
Customer Review: Nice for the Price

A quick little review for this camera. I bought this camera sort of on a whim while on vacation. My previous camera, also a Cannon Powershot, had fallen to the ground and would not work. Since the old camera was about 5 years old, I felt it was time for a replacement.
The new camera is packed with features, half of which you will never need. This model is a 10mp which is agreat step up from my 3mp that it replaced. I have only had this for a month now, so I am still getting used to it and all the features.
One thing to note. This being a 10mp camera for the price is what attracted me to it. I wanted something a tad smaller than my original powershot, but this model kept me looking at it. It smaller and lighter, yet still has the fell of a bigger camera.
Only gripe so far is that I have not yet figured out how to take instantaneous photos with it. There is always 1-2 second delay. I am sure I can get around that, just have to find the setting!
Customer Review: I like it!

I this a pretty good camera. I recently had a baby and wanted a camera to take pictures. I decided to spent a lil bit more for a high quality camera. the only problem I have with this product is the orange light on the front of the camera facing the subject. It comes on when you take a picture. So with the baby she stares at it and stops smiling whenever I try to take a pic. She already stares when she sees the camera but she does even more bc of the light.The pic quality is great. but that darn orange light...
