Slow Shutter speed, blurry images but great wifi feature.
At first I was thrilled with this camera because the wi-fi features worked right out of the box.
This impressed me. I was quick to review and give it a high rating. I was too quick.
Week after week I started to notice that the shutter speed was too darn slow.
If a subject moves or twitches even the slightest bit, there is a blur.
Canon support, to their credit, is quick to respond, but the suggestions they offer do not work.
There is no setting that seems to impact the shutter speed (even the ISO setting.) It seems the shutter opens for almost a half to 3/4 of a second.
The only pictures that come out decent are ones taken indoors with the flash.
But using bright, available light or exterior bright light yields way too much motion blur.
I bought this camera to show my daughter how a real camera compared to her phone camera.
I lost that argument. Despite the high megapixel feature and big lens... the pictures are really poor. Grainy and blurry.
They other problem is the camera can't focus when fully zoomed in. Maddening. Try to take a picture of a distant object and adjust thefocus while zoomed in; Blur.
