3x Better Than A 3.2mp Camera?...No!

bysuplex Jan 21, 2007
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Image Stabilization, 32mb Internal Memory, Large LCD Screen, Multiple Picture Modes.
Cons Grainy Picture Quality, ISO goes to 6400 (Too High), Poor With Dark Colors.

Introduction

I have a wonderful Canon Rebel SLR digital camera (not the most recent, with under 10 megapixels) and it is a workhorse. But what about when you want to slip a camera into your pocket, and you don't want to take the SLR along for whatever reason?
