I was looking for a nice Point n shoot camera and when I found this newly released product from the Canon family I knew it's going to be a great product. Today I received it and has taken some 50 pics with it, and I must tell you it's really cool.

I should tell you that I own D60 DSLR and also has some L lens. But I wanted to have a nice Point and Shoot which I can just take it when I really don't want to carry my big D60.

- This Camera feels like a nice touch screen phone in your hand, light and sleek. And it does have many features that you get on many smartphone, like setting your colors, themes, shutter sound, switch on sound etc.

- It's built quality is much better than many other Point and shoot that I have used in the past.
- The touch screen is not really good, may be we have used so many nice smart phones with touch screen that we now expect every touch screen product to work like a iPhone. But once you get used to the behavior you would... Read more

I received this camera today and I was very curious to find out if I can connect it to my PC over WiFi after reading one of the reviews here.
I knew that it should be possible as there is nothing which should prohibit that if the camera can connect to WiFi. I took some pictures and then tried to play around with the camera. I do not read manuals as they are lengthy and who has time! I clicked on the WiFi option on the touch screen and I saw four choices depicted by pictures.

It failed first time, I immediately knew that the issue was because of my Software Firewall. I disabled the firewall and it failed again. I checked the Windows... Read more

I bought this camera because of the fantastic idea of WiFi built into the camera.
Imagine approaching the home network and having all the pictures transferred to your home PC without cords! One-touch, images beamed at 802.11a/b/g speeds.. Awesome, right?
Kindof like a super Eye-Fi?

Well, no. Canon failed to complete this feature.

WiFi in the Canon is almost totally useless. Let's count the ways:
You might like to upload pictures to your PC. I know I would. Only, you can't. The included "CameraWindow DC 8" software immediately EXITS if the camera is not connected by USB cable. There is no WiFi support there. DC must stand for "Direct Connect"? Once configured for your WiFi AP, the camera will search pointlessly for a PC to connect to. Finding none, it will discard your WiFi SSID & Password and warn you the battery is low, as WiFi seems to burn up a lot of power for nothing. Recharge and start over. I've searched Canon's site, but there... Read more
