Review: Canon is known for making best Camera's and picture quality of Canon shots is really great, this cam will also offer good picture quality with 16.1 MP Camera and 5x optical zoom. But it is quite expensive as compared to other opponents which offer similar MP and better optical zoom at price much lower than this camera. The optical zoom should had been more at this pricing. the camera is loaded with Digic5 processor and CMOS lens which promise better picture quality. Canon lovers never mind about prices so keep on clicking Pics
