Possible buyer's remorse?
Well, maybe I have buyer's remorse & I don't have my new camera yet. My little, pink Pentax point & shoot digital camera is done I guess & I've only had it three years. The on/off button is stuck & it won't turn on. So decided to order this camera, a Canon PowerShot SX130IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 12x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom with 3.0-Inch LCD. I read some of the reviews & they were good, but then today I read some that say @ concerts, it just doesn't cut it. The flash takes long to charge between pics & not good in low lighting. I don't know; I've never owned a Canon camera. Anyone else own a Canon or this particular model?

I have owned two Canon powershots in the last 6 years and I love them. I upgraded not because it crapped out on me, I just wanted a superior model. I don't know if buying a camera to get pics at concerts is the best idea though... I mean, unless you have special privileges. You can't control the lighting, and you can't control whats going on around you (ie. drunk cowgirls ) I guess it's just a matter of you trying the camera out yourself and seeing the pics in different situations.

I've been using the same Canon Elph (SD600) forever and it just refuses to die. It's been all around the world with me and I've dropped it a gazillion times, yet it keeps on ticking. It's an overall great point-and-shoot, but concert photography without a flash is not good. I tried a newer Canon Elph last year and it was even worse! Through trial and error, I learned that one must trick the light sensor to prevent washout. I think it would be better to try finding a point-and-shoot camera that gives you lots of manual settings; these Canon Elph models don't offer many manual options.

I am a Nikon kid but I've never had a problem with a Canon and I've been going out shooting for almost 2 years or so, now. When buying cameras, my best advice is to try them out. It's like buying... a wand? The wand choses the wizard and I believe the camera chooses the photographer

My first digital camera was/is a Nikon. I still have it. It has a small screen, view finder & 3X zoom. It was starting to make a grinding noise. I thought it was getting ready to go, so I got the Pentax. It had a better zoom 5X, but it's not working now. I've kind of lost faith in Pentax. My first film camera was a Pentax, had it for years & gave it to my brother since he was really into photography. I don't buy a camera just to take pics @ concerts. (I only went to one concert last year.) And I take all kinds of pics, family, my dog, scenic, etc. I just got the Canon yesterday. It's bigger than a typical point & shoot & looks like a DSLR. I got it right out of the box & used it right away. It has great zoom on it. I took pics of my dog & husband (in that order ) & I didn't even need the flash in the house which I normal need. The pics were good. Most digital cameras work the same; a few have more bells & whistles on them than others. This one will take me awhile to get use to all the settings & different modes, but in general I like it. We will see how it does @ concerts & of course that depends on where I'm sitting.

It's a bridge isn't it? I've heard people call them 'super zoom's', too. Does it have super macro on, too?
