Small wonder, I must say that this camera offers photo enthusiasts of all that. Whether bloody beginner or advanced - the images are almost always something. And I think I already can not compare because I have two additional good old "Minolta" (1x and 1x mechanically Dynax), and since we have already had some expertise.The Canon sits comfortably in the hand and offers a lot of functions. I could not find that the images were somehow grossly or Griesel (maybe it is because then probably most users). Maybe I'm blind. No, I think you should just take some time to come to grips with the Canon.
The AF responds quite fast, as is the zoom. The display is nice and big. However, it is partially filled with a lot of information. In fairness, I should say, however, that some information may be useful. Information on exposure, flash, ISO value and so on. The ISO value can also be set in the "Program" mode "P" itself. It ranges from 80-1600. Apart from this information not appear in the beginner mode. Because it means simply pull the trigger just turn it, done!
Absolutely great is the fact that you can operate the Power Shot with two standard AA batteries (AA). For me this was a purchase criterion. I am pursuing it with two photo-mAh battery of "Conrad" 2,500. What was the hold of the camera and so far no abnormalities or negative rapid discharge. Plain that the batteries / rechargeable batteries do not last forever.
The only negative I find that it did not make it, must supply a guide in paper form. Only a short guide in different languages is, the rest on CD in PDF format. In addition, a USB cable and video cable for TV.
For me, the Powershot SX 130 IS an absolute buy recommendation. Value for money is absolutely fine.
