The stills from this camera, with adequate lighting, are quite good. Unfortunately, image top quality swiftly deteriorates in reduced light conditions, due in aspect to the modest size with the image sensor as well as the high impact megapixel rating. Shooting video is a breeze, and while it can be disappointing that users can’t adjust focus or zoom levels the moment recording has begun, the compressed video looks incredibly superior on any high resolution screen. To prove that they’re really serious regarding the video top quality of this camera, Canon even included an HDMI mini connector for a direct connection to any new high definition television.
