Good but very fragile
|
At this price range, one would have hoped the build and construction would be better than this.
After a little more than a year of use from being bought new, this camera failed. While the camera was well-used, it wasn't abused. The LCD malfunctioned (displayed a white screen with lines like cracks, no error message) and the camera would not take any pictures.
The camera was also falling apart. The entire front cover is held on by just three tiny screws (two on bottom, one on side); the top left part of the cover furthest from the screws lost its friction fit and would not stay together.
The pros (compact size, image stabilization, wide angle, quickness) have already been detailed in depth by others, so I won't repeat them here.
Instead I'll focus on the cons:
- Feels very fragile and is very fragile
- Looks cheap
- Lack of hard reset button (the first camera I've owned without one)
- User interface not intuitive (compared to other digital cameras I own: Sony, Fujifilm, Nikon, Casio)
- Lack of manual controls
The camera is generally fine when it works, but overall it is a poor value considering its fragility and better cameras at or below this price. I recommend staying away from other similarly designed models from Canon until they improve the durability with better materials and fit. |
