When choosing a camera for my travel and scenic photography, I looked at reviews of many. This Canon won mainly for these reasons:
My style of shooting demands a 28 mm equiv. wide angle lens.
My style of shooting also demands use of a polarizer filter. This is possible with the excellent [...] adapter ring.
I prefer AA battery power. Lots of chargers and inexpensive backups are always available.
Upon close scrutiny of the many photo samples available thru online reviews, Canon's seemed the sharpest to me. There is a little purple fringing on contrast edges, but same with most cameras.
Overall, the camera is quite a bargain for the solid build and features.
All that is good and would rate 5 stars, but this camera is a little frustrating in daily use. The exposure compensation is fussy to activate... the little selection wheel has no feedback feel and WILL cause you to use curse words more than once. Also, the controls that come up first in the function setting menus are organized badly. It isn't hard to use this camera if you like Auto or Program modes, but the deeper settings for those who like to use them could be set up better. Also, I have no idea why Canon offers such a serious camera that doesn't take filters without an extra adapter ring.
