It's easy to use and it takes high quality video as well as crystal clear pictures. It's zooms in fairly close and has an automatic setting. It also has an automatic lens cover.

The camera is very compact. Takes very nice pictures when there is good light. Battery life is good. The camera is horrible during late afternoon, night and low light conditions.

Jake,I wanted a camera that I could put in my pocket instead of lugging around my SLR equipment. I had the canon s95 before this which was slightly smaller took great shots but has a small zoom. This camera for its flexibility as far as manual controls, great picture quality, more than adequate video and of course 20x optical is a as good as it gets for the price. Depends on what you are looking for however. There are many times I cant tell the difference between the shots I have taken with my more advanced equipment and this one. Very pleased with my purchase. Feel free to ask me any other questions .Milt Jake,I wanted a camera that I could put in my pocket instead of lugging around my SLR equipment.

I would have to say the zoom and the outstanding quality pictures it takes even without the flash in indoor situations. I was able to take close up superb pictures at an indoor concert and high school play from quite a distance away. This is by far my favorite point and shoot camera...even over my nikon coolpix.

Good size....fits in any pocket, which means I'm more likely to take it with me and get shots I'd otherwise miss. Images seem clearer and brighter than with my previous Canon. Functionality is pretty much what you'd expect from a camera in this price range. There are a few "specialty" settings that come in handy (snow scenes, etc.) The positioning of the flash is a bit annoying. It's exactly where you instinctively put your finger and I end up blocking it almost every time the flash pops up automatically. But, it takes great pictures, so I'm very happy with it.

The ratio of usability to photo quality on this camera is awesome! Also, if you've previously owned a Canon you shouldn't have any trouble learning how to use this one. That said I think it would be very easy to use even if you've never owned a Canon before. The newest version of this camera has WiFi but I didn't need that at all so I went for this one and couldn't be happier.

It's 'anti-shake', which means I can increase the zoom, and still take great shots of my pup running and jumping. The Zoom factor is also great, and the picture quality can't be beat.

I like this camera. It is easy to use and the picture quality is excellent.

I liked all the features the camera had to offer, but when viewed on my 17 laptop screen the images were a bit fuzzy, and that is before any enlargement to them. I am going to look at buying the SX280 camera. Size wise, I find my current A2000is very convenient for everyday carry around as would also be the case for the SX160.

Well, my friend the first thing is, I'm always inclined to the best; the second, there is no other camera with so clear lens; the third, its computer as "P" is almost perfect; fourth, if you want to act as professional you can thrust this equipment. -I am very happy with mine

S120 ;) (sorry don't know anything about the Nikons so I really have nothing objective here, but, I love this camera, love it). This camera is worth it's weight in my pocket for what it does when I need it to. Unreal quality and speed, and the video is on par with my 6D if not better in the same conditions.

You have to really look at the features and see which ones are more important to you. But it really becomes a point of personal preference. I love Canon cameras and I always will.

Sandeep,I am also trying to decide between the three cameras you mentioned above, and looking at the date of your post, you probably went ahead and purchased one of these. Would you be kind enough to tell which one you bought and in what ways you're pleased or not?Thanks

Hi Allison, I think this is a very good DSLR camera, and also the smallest. I love Olympus cameras since they have one of the best algorithms to process light into pixels, thus ensuring excellent picture quality.Regards,Andras Heimann

This camera is so nice! I upgraded from another camera and only have nice things to say about it. It takes great pictures in any lighting.

Qaulity is great. There is even a closeup button that zooms in very well! I ise mine almost daily ;-)

Best camera I've ever owned, and I've owned plenty. The low light ability, the image quality, the larger pixel sites, build quality, plus the speed, all make up for a fantastic camera.

I've had a good experience with this camera. I believe it's worth the money.

I bought this camera on the recommendation of a friend who is a budding professional -- on the strength/combination of its capabilities, pricing and features.

Just purchased the Canon SX40. It is truly amazing. There are not too many boats out on the ice right now, but I think it will do what I want. The picture quality is fantastic. Shortcomings? Since I'm a newbie I don't understand why some pics are blurry and others not; but that is probably more my inexperience than the camera. Also, it shoots 1080 video only at 24 fps. This is still pretty good, but there are some situations where a moving video is less crisp. But I could always switch to non HD if I choose, and have 30 fps that way. Thanks for your help.
