This appears to be the last of Canon's SD series cameras that have a viewfinder window...so I bought three of them as it is the last SD series Canon I will ever buy. This last one was a bargain...$97 for a refurbished one from NewEgg (The others were $150 and $140, but were "new".)
The cameras take very good pictures, although my wife says hers is not as good as her S500, which she dearly loved. I think she is wrong, but we sold the S500 so no comparison can be made. If anything, the new one is a little too compact, but the larger LCD vs. the S500 is cercainly an improvement. I do wish there was some manual control...at least so far as being able to put the cameras in shutter priority mode.
Problems:
None...although I do wonder if hese will also be victims of the bad Sony CCD that two of my older Canons, including the S500, suffered from. Thankfully, canon stands behind their Cameras and buth the S500 and an A70 I have were repaired under an extended warranty.
