"Highly recommend that brand"
·
"My hobbyist photographer dad handed me to keep me busy during his car events I got dragged along to and I still love that thing today"
·
"Survived way too many field trips, camping trips, and "how long has this been in the bottom of my backpack?" to count"
·
"Big old glass prime lens"
·
"20 megapixels, Nice touch screen and user friendly menu, Those lovely Canon colours, Can be charged with a power bank and standard micro usb cable, In hand feel is roughly the size of a pack of playing cards"
·
"It has all the basic features you need for product photography, it's simple, it uses buttons instead of a touch screen (which is too easy to misclick), it's easy to use and it saves time over a phone by saving the photos to a SD card that you can plug directly into your PC instead of wasting time with cloud based apps."

"Previous compacts"
·
"Pretty compact (the lens retracts) and gives them room to grow if they want to learn more about camera settings and nicer lenses. Set it to full auto and you've got a compact point-and-shoot."

"Superior image quality"
·
"Great fan"
·
"High quality optics - lens has a shocking 6 elements in 6 groups diagram. Simple and efficient operation. Manual ISO and advance means it has a degree of manual control while being much quieter than later P&S of the 1990s. One of the top picks IMO."
·

·
"Cheap, fairly sharp. Nice zoom range."
·

"Great little shooter, very compact. looks cool. The red Tomato version sells for more because they're a bit rare and a collectable. If you look for a Pop 10 you will have better luck. Looks really cool in black"

"It is fool proof (perfect for handing it to others at parties). The lens quality is very nice, on both zoom lengths. I have been impressed by its low light performance. Sometimes when I set the flash to auto, I expected it to flash but it did not, which resulted in beautiful moody pictures."
