I never owned and used this P&S camera.

Not really as to any determination on the "camera's" image quality as images are far too small, but agree that ...

... A street photographer Gloria Cassens made beautiful and strong photos with this camera.

Composition wise yes the photos are good captures, but the actual IQ for most of the images not all that good as one can see HERE.

I had the SX130 and for it's genre (older 1/2.3" CCD sensor) it is a good pocketable (i.e., not "pocket") superzoom camera with PASM modes available for greater creativity.

If one interested in the "camera's" performance/ IQ be far better reading a review; e.g., HERE or HERE. However the SX130 was released 2011, one will be limited to finding used ones via online sellers.

Biggest con about the SX130 (and the other SX1XX's) was the slooow flash recycle time due to using two AA batteries, even with 2450mHa rechargeable AA batteries.

FWIW several of images from the SX130 I had (OOC JPG's, other than resizing for posting no other editing done; EXIF data in images):

Trial of the Fireworks scene mode; handheld.

Cheers,
Jon
