My Review 

I love this camera. When I switched to digital, I owned a Nikon Coolpix point and shoot. I didn't like the small image size or the long wait between images. Now, with the Canon, I can shoot almost as fast as I want, even with flash. Focusing is very fast. Image size is very good. Lenses are readily available from eBay. As I move up to new Canon cameras, these lenses can go with me, which is a real cost advantage over point and shoot cameras.
