I have this camera. It is very bad with red eye. Any indoor pics will have to be edited for red eye removal. I contacted Canon about it and they said because the flash is so close to the lens, you will always get some red eye. I could handle some red eye, but not all of the time. I bought this camera for a small pocket sized camera but I never use it. I also have the Canon G6, which is larger, but does much better with red eye reduction.
Let me know what you think once you receive it. Remember, take lots of pics right away. If you get lots of red eye, return it with the 30 of 45 days allowed. Also, read reviews about the camera online. I think the Canon 450 is a little better on red eye.
