Thank you

Anyways I'm just curious as to who or why anyone would buy this? ...

Also wondered the same when first released. Possibly those who only use a smartphone for camera? And did not know it does NOT have a "ZOOM" lens.

... The price seems too pricey compared to say buying a TZ95, SX740 or A1000.

Definitely overpriced for what it is, and the image IQ; overall FAR less practical than any Panasonic ZS/ TZ camera with EVF.

... But I'm curious to know what users who own this Canon camera think about it and practical uses for it. ,...

In case you have not seen, see DPR's "Canon PowerShot Zoom Overview" HERE, for general comments and sample images.

... Just wondering do any users here have it and do they find it useful? ...

Did you try doing a online search?; e.g., "Canon Canon PowerShot Zoom review"

Seems like an interesting device. ...

If it's price was around US$100, or less.

... Personally I think I would buy one if only it had a replaceable battery. ...

As you previously posted for the price be better off with one of the pocketable travel cameras, or binoculars/ camera combo, or binoculars with smartphone adapter.

Cheers,
Jon
