Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot SX1IS 10 MP CMOS Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.8-inch LCD
Digital camera Review: 4 stars for features but not so sure about quality
Summary: 4 Stars
Have been playing with this camera for a while, trying different settings, taking pictures of different subjects, shooting HD movies, etc. and here are what I can say;
- you really need to know what settings to use, even if you use the AUTO mode you have to make some changes in settings for face detection for example.
- you will see noise on certain pictures, I am still trying to figure out that part.
- I recommend purchasing a separate flash, the quality is really good with the Speedlite 270
- yes the 20x zoom is really good and totally silent (unlike a Lumix camera I tried) so when shooting in HD you won't hear anything.
- HD movie is really good as well and it is very convenient to only have one camera to carry.
- transfer to mac or pc is effortless and there is no need to convert the movie files, HOWEVER, I am currently unable to read the RAW file on my mac.
- the camera is fairly heavy which can be an advantage or disadvantage depending on how you look at it.
- quality via HDMI on a high def TV is excellent
- love the fact that you can use AA batteries, much easier to deal with if you travel and run out of power.
- you can't take pictures in RAW format if shooting in 16x9 format
- if recording a movie, 4x3 will be VGA, 16x9 HD, you can't change that.
- buttons are well placed
- one touch printing is really convenient
- the rotating display is great if shooting above a crowd or something close to the ground.
- yes you can take pictures while shooting a movie but when I played the movie you can hear the shutter "sound" and the picture would freeze briefly (the sound continued).
I hope this can help you make a decision, if you are looking for something less expensive, with a great zoom but without HD movie mode, get the Lumix FZ28, it's an awesome camera.
