The 4x zoom was a huge mistake in my opinion. At wide angle, barrel distortion is terrible. Worse yet, fringing is much worse then what I see from Steves sample images. I hate that most of all. That was the 1 reason I chased after a new Canon - they usually have great lenses but not mine. Maybe if i zoom way in (which you can only do in certain instances but what a pain and surely not indoors) the lense would get better. I noticed focal length on Steves pics is more then mine so that might be the trick but boo.
Video - No lense zoom only digital once you hit record stinks but more then that, the Audio is horrible too? Theres a loud whine (more then mine) which makes it useless unless sneaking clips at a rock concert.
Program SelectionThumb Wheel- Definitely will get turned 1/2 of the time when you hand it to someone to take your pic unless you tell them about it.
Canon you let me down.
