Love, Love, LOVE It!,

We were worried about the handful of negative reviews here, but did much research and bought this camera anyway. We are VERY happy we did. I don't know why some reviewers had problems with poor quality photos... we have taken hundreds of gorgeous shots with this camera. Near and far, all lights, indoors and out, flash and not, super high zoom, etc. Beautiful, beautiful pictures. We originally got a Sony Handicam (the lower end model, $250) to shoot family videos. We were so disappointed in the quality of the video we decided to trade up to something that would take great video AND photos. After much research we decided on the Canon SX30IS, and we LOVE it. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. The video quality is far superior to the Handicam we returned, and the photos are fantastic. If we have any problems though, I will post a follow-up.
