I loved my old Sony DSC point and shoot but it was a love-hate relationship. So many times I would miss a shot because my camera wasn't fast enough. SO I looked into what type of camera would be fast enough and I came across this Canon. I usually only use 2 modes on it - regular for "posed" pictures and action for those shots where there will probably be some sort of movement. I would love to get some additional lenses for it like panorama or ultra-extreme zoom but the lenses are more expensive than the camera!
LOL, I had to learn how to take pictures all over again since there is no "preview" window - I actually have to look thru the eyepiece like the old fashioned camera's.
