Based on all the great customer reviews, I was excited when this camera arrived. It is extremely small but has a nice overall feel of quality and looks pretty cool. One gripe I have with the built is that the camera/memory card door is a bit flimsy and seems to be made of cheap plastic in stark contrast to the rest of the body. It wobbles slightly which may be minor for some, but it was enough to bother me.
I have small hands but this camera seems almost a bit too small at the expense of usability. The position of the flash is annoying and if you don't remember to keep your fingers well out of its range you'll cast dark shadows onto the picture. Some buttons are so tiny that you need to use your finger nail to push them.
But what ultimately made me return this camera is the soft focus, even in bright sunlight. Since the zoom is very modest I thought that the large number of megapixels would allow me to crop liberally. Unfortunately, this is not possible due to the soft focus and frequent purple fringing. I prefer sharp crisp images but was not able to find a setting which would please me.
The video is great if you don't point at a light source, but that feature alone was not enough to make up for the disappointing image quality.
I wish Canon would stop churning out crappy camera models at an idiotic rate and just focus on making great quality again.
