I have owned this camera for approximately 16 months.Sometimes great photos, but mostly blurry and unreliable.One day, camera stopped working - no clue what went wrong (not mistreated).I have owned three Canon ELPHs over five+ years - never a problem.Loser camera, switched back to my Olympus C5060 wide zoom - beautiful image quality - and it still works!I may try the G7, but not sure if I should buy another Canon (except for ELPH line).
