Yea, if you've only got $150. Okay, what else are you going to do... But that doesn't make it a good option for low light / indoor shooting. It's just not. Of course you can live with it if you've got no other choice.

That sounds a little harsh. It does okay for low light up to ISO 1600, some of us cant afford to spend $400 + on a camera. A choice reviewed about 40 point and shoots and it got first place in image quality and first place overall, cameras were from $100 to up to $400. I wouldn't say its better than a $400 camera.

I compared it to a Nikon ($289) worth considerably more than the little canon and the canon was better in low light, the Nikon lost color at ISO1600 and was noisy wheras the canon maintained reasonable color and had less noise and more detail.

Its good if you have a limited budget and if you don't want to lug a large camera around. Even a friend of mine who has a dslr was quite impressed with the image quality.

Cheers

Steve.
