Our Thoughts …

The Canon PowerShot SX130IS is not a fancy camera with lenses and flashes and million other accessories. It is a point and shoot camera. It is a great camera though. A fancy camera is definitely not in the budget any time soon but last year we knew we needed to upgrade our camera. After much searching online, we decided to go with the Canon PowerShot SX130IS. It has enough settings, a great zoom, and stuff I don’t even know how to use yet. Just about every picture posted here the last few months has been from this camera so if there was a picture you loved, it shows you don’t need a pricey camera to catch it.

We ended up buying ours at Walmart online but Amazon has a great price now too. If you are in the market for a new simple camera, check this out for sure!
