Hi…I have the Canon powershot sx130IS and love it however, I can’t figure out the best setting for indoor/outdoor sports.
When I use manual and set shutter to 1/2000 it’s great to capture/still the movement, but the pics are dark…how do I take them and still have them captured in natural light? The kids/pet setting works only for relatively low motion type activities - I really need something faster, any suggestions? THANK YOU!

Hey! I heard quite a few people complaining about the battery life. Apart from the rechargeable batteries can a AC adaptor, like Canon ACK 800 Power adapter, can it be used?
So if you buy that, you would not require a charger right? Just a couple of non-alk batteries is required i guess. please help. I am on a trip and nothing to click with and a lot to click at! :)

I am using NIHM rechargable battaries (Energizer), and it’s very great,, you can’t use AC adapter.

I’m debating on purchasing this camera or the Kodak Z990. I read some reviews for this camera on Amazon and a few people complained about dust inside the lens. Some say that the lens isn’t sealed correctly. Has anybody ran into this issue? Was it a bad few batches?

I dont understand how some people can say that quality of photos is bad! I had a lot of different cameras and this one is the best. For some photos friends didnt believe that i made thinking i just downloaded from internet. All compliments for the Canon and this model!

The reviewer has no clue. Why instist on f/8? It killed the sharpness both ways - by diffraction and higher iso. That makes no sense.

This is decent all around camera. Picture quality is dependable and poor picture quality is almost always due to my error. Two recommendations: First, do not use the low light setting, learn the camera and shoot manually. As with most point and shoots low light setting cranks up the ISO and results in grainy pictures. Second, carry LOTS of batteries. I have tried all types of batteries and no matter what this camera really uses a lot of juice. If you’re not willing to shell out some money for batteries don’t buy the camera.
This is a great camera for the novice. I started using auto and getting some very respectable pics. As you progress it also allows you to utilize the manual setting and have more control over your shot. No, it’s not a DSLR but you get what you pay for. For a P & S it’s a great little camera and not a huge investment.
