After reading the specs and the reviews I was really excited about purchasing this camera. Unfortunately Canon (and other camera manufacturers) are taking a page from the airlines pricing playbook. Charge a basic price and rip you off on the extras. The camera does not come with a cable and the Canon cable is $60!!! The camera handles well and the menus are well organized. The AF is ok but not great for any action applications. For $899 I don't think it is too much to expect a cable to be included.

Pretty much right on.  Same for the SX70 I now own.  Paid C $33.00 for the Canon cable for photo offloading as the WiFi app is gimmicky and unreliable at best.  For the camera price there is no excuse.  It's all a big marketing ploy.  There has been very little advance in image quality over the past decade even with real hardware improvements.
