Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've been a fan of Canon cameras for years. I currently have 5 of them, with my "best" one being an older S3 IS. The S3 takes awesome pictures but is a bit bulky, so I wanted to try this new camera. Well, I love the picture quality, features, controls, weight, construction and especially the HD video. However, I have to return it. This camera goes through a set of Duracell batteries about every 50 shots. I shot about 8 minutes of video today before the camera shut down due to dead batteries. You need to have at least 4 extra batteries with you at all times, otherwise you're going to get stuck. I tried higher capacity rechargeables and the camera wouldn't even acknowledge them. So, back it goes. Nice camera, Canon. If you do something about the battery life you'll have a winner on your hands.
