better than my Powershot by far...

I bought this camera after my Powershot failed a year and a half after I bought it. I absolutely love it!! I haven't had it too long, but so far it has done me well. It is compact enough for me to carry it in my small purse so I can bring it everywhere! I tend to take a lot of pictures and this camera allows me to do so. Its pictures show up clear and crisp. I've taken pictures in complete darkness, and they have turned out amazing, almost as though it were taken in mid-day. I use this camera daily to take pictures of my son and such, and it is working out great for me so far. I can take videos on it too which turn out way-y better than they would have with my previous camera. It doesn't have a long menu which I wish it did, so I could do more stuff with the pictures as I am taking them. The menu is short and simple. You can store the photos in separate folders on the camera though which I found to be a neat feature. Overall, I could not be happier with this camera, it is small, lightweight, durable and easy to use. I would not choose a different camera for my purpose.
