Pros - Automatic lens shutter
+ Automatic lens cover
Cons - wide angle
- little manual control
- small wide angle
Conclusion With little wide angle, small sensors, lean low-light performance and few manual functions, it is hard to see any reason to choose one of the smaller Canon models, given a budget of 500 Euro.The 2010 competition simply has more to offer.
