To start it off, the shipment arrived to my house in 3 days. The time Amazon claimed it would arrive. Shipping went speedy. The Canon performs better than my Sony W7. Not only thin but a great design that makes this camera great. The camera can easily be carried in your back pocket, for those who like to travel with no extra bags. Being able to zoom while shooting video is a great feature. Something my Sony wouldn't do. The quality of the pictures are superb. The 3" screen makes viewing of pictures a lot more fun. Highly recommend this item for those in the market for a 7MP camera.
