Comments about Canon Powershot SX130IS Digital Camera - Black:
We use this camera for all our family photos including lots of action shots of my son at sports. This thing is great. The image quality and stabilization handling are superb even at 12x optical zoom. with the flash the images are clear in low light. the lag time between shots is tolerable except when using the flash. The flash recharge time adds a second or so. Batterly life is short with regular batteries so get a couple NiMh rechargables like Apple or Sanyo makes, it's well worth the investment. Battery life actually seems longer with NiMh rather than regular batteries.
