  • Canon SX130 PowerShot IS: It's the Perfect In-Between Digital Camera

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 13, 2012
    Pros: Easy to use.
    Takes excellent outdoor images
    Cons: Being more than six feet away when indoors or without flash results in  grainy images.

    Summary: It's the perfect in-between camera! Read on...The market is loaded with very small point and shoot cameras. There are also some fine and much larger SLR digital cameras that cost a fortune. The Canon PowerShot, I believe, is that in-between ... read more

  • Overall a great camera

    Pros: Easily stowed away in a bag, clear pictures, easy to use
    Cons: My only complaint is that it uses batteries VERY fast.

    Summary: I recieved the Canon Powershot SX130 two years ago as a graduation gift from my dad. He paid a very resonable price ($170) and it was definitely money well spent.I love how easy it is to use and how great the pictures come out. Its a good ... read more

    Pros: Beautiful pictures,Great camera, nice size feels good in your hands, So many features.
    Cons: Alkaline battry life is bad!! but when you switch to rechargeables problem is gone.

    Summary: I love this camera! I was looking for a camera that first of all does the most important thing a camera can do which is take GREAT pictures. This camera does that. Also the second thing i wanted was a camera that had good noise control. This camera has ... read more

  • Canon SX130 IS - a lot to offer in a small body.

    Pros: Picture quality, body size, optical zoom, price point.
    Cons: Battery life, lack of continuous/sport setting.

    Summary: If you're looking for a camera that does a little more than the pocket-size digital cameras but isn't as bulky as the larger digital SLRs - than the SX130 IS is the camera for you.I originally purchased this camera after countless trips to ... read more

  • Excellent camera for the money

    Pros: Zoom, easy operation, can use existing light for more realistic shots, nice size, buttons.
    Cons: Rechargeable AAs required, regular AAs could be used in a pinch. Flash recharge time.

    Summary: I recently purchased this camera on sale at BestBuy for a mere $148.  This was the lowest price I could find either online or in a store, unheard of for Best Buy in my opinion. But if they strive to get my business, I'll give it to them. I ... read more

  • It's ok, but I wish my husband bought me the Nikon instead.

    Pros: Good photos of foliage. Zoom good for shoots of roses. Landscapes are nice. Video great!
    Cons: Battery life horrible! Black and white is NOT black and white. Should have bought Nikon!

    Summary: I always used a Kodak, but I wanted a better camera. I found the Nikon to be a great buy, but my husband bought me the Canon. It has a lot of problems shooting in low light. Photos of people moving come out grainy, cloudy and blurry even on the right ... read more

  • Good camera for learning.

    Pros: Good pictures. AA batteries. Inexpensive. Easy to use.
    Cons: Slow, but acceptable, performance. Changing of settings can sometimes be awkward.

    Summary: After reading and watching reviews of many different compact cameras, I finally decided on the Canon SX130. It was not an easy choice. The fierce competition between manufacturers has provided the consumer with a refined spread of features and price ... read more

  • A great in-between camera between compact and DSLR

    Pros: Good pictures, Long zoom, HD Video (w/ zoom), can run on battery or DC-in, price.
    Cons: ISO Auto is oversensitive in medium-low light, so-so battery life, shutter lag is sometimes slow.

    Summary: The point and shoot camera range for the most part is a war between Canon and Nikon.  Which is not to say that nobody else produces a decent point and shoot (Panasonic's Lumix series, Sony's Cybershot series, etc. all have good models).  Main ... read more

  • Great Point and shoot if you can get over the static...

    Pros: Easy to use. Pictures/video. Capture on smile detect. Uses 2AA Batteries!
    Cons: Very Grainy/Choppy live display between shots in average to low light.

    Summary: At first I had my heart set on the Nikon - Coolpix L110. Then right next to it was the Canon PowerShot SX120 IS. As I played with the menus and took different pictures I quickly fell in love with the SX120's easy to use buttons, especially the dial on ... read more

    Pros: Easy point & Shoot, Good zoom level at this price range, AA batteries
    Cons: Grainy in long zooms, Write Speed

    Summary: This is an overall winner for a short trip and you would like to take this camera with out a bulky DSLR and tonnes of lenses, batteries, flash, other accessories. Auto mode is very good for normal photography. Good that it can be made 100% manual

    Pros: The pictures are clear and perfect. It is the perfect size.
    Cons: The zoom feature sometime freezes and the screen may black out from time to time.

    Summary: I always wanted one of these cameras. I finally got this for christmas, I reacted in tears. Most of my friends have one. I tried this for the first time, ultimately loved it. Although the zoom function on my camera freezes time to time but overall it is
