Not that good

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Price
Compact
Picture Quality
Ease of use
Cons: Cheap material used
Other Thoughts: This is the 7th point-and-shoot Canon I purchase. I bought this one for my folks since it is easy to use. I also have a SX200, a SD790, and recently bought a Rebel XSi.. Every time I upgrade the quality of the camera decreases. It seems in the effort to cut prices, Canon is obligated to cut corners. My SD790 lens got stuck and is very flimsy. The rebel XT that I had in the past seems of better quality as well, though the technical specs are far inferior than the XSi...
This is a good camera for the price though...
