Too slow to use,

I have used several Canon digital Elph cameras and have enjoyed them. Generally they take great pictures and fit well in your pocket. I have also used Canon DSLR's including a D20 (which I absolutely love), Digital Rebel, and the new 7D.
I understand that a point and shoot camera will have a slight delay compared to a SLR, but the SD970IS DELAY IS SO BAD that the camera is almost not functional. I have missed too many shots and cursed at this camera too many times. The 720p video is nice, but that is all this camera is good for.
Sorry Canon, I love your cameras, just not this one.
Good camera and great service,

Didn't have a lot of time with this camera just yet, but I first used it for a wedding and had a lot of fun finding its features. The buttons are a bit stiff for ease of use, but once you get used to it, and are sure to be careful, it works just fine. Canon provided great service for some of my camera's problems, so now it works very well. I don't know about the price, since many cheaper cameras have the same features, but the zoom blur and creative light options add a bit of fun to the camera. Great for a point and shoot.
Camera is great!,

After much researching, I decided to buy the CANON SD970 IS. It takes great pictures even in a darken room with a moving baby. The software is nice and the pictures can be organized and flagged. Excellent quality for the price.

It's a great camera and looks really elegant, by the look and feel in your hands you can tell that it's a better quality camera. I love that it has 5x zoom and 12 mp. It's not the smallest one, and not really one of the cheap ones, but I bought it to have it for a longer period of time to take great pictures. I like the kind of rounded shape of it; it feels really comfortable holding it in your hand. I didn't really have time to play with the functions of the camera, so far I was only taking pictures on AUTO mode, and I know pictures can be better if I adjust and customize it a little, once I read the instructions... However, I'm happy with the camera, although the cost is pretty high, as for me, a student. Adding to it, I needed a good camera to take good pictures outside, and also close-ups of the models I build, and I think the camera works really well for me in this case.
