Digital camera reviews of Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Digital camera Review: A Fantastic Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
Having previously used the Canon S2 IS, I looked forward to using the SX10 IS, and I was not disappointed. The SX10 IS is all I expected and more. I've looked for things to be critical of, and can only find two minor ones; the door covering the USB connector is a tad loose after first use, and the movies are stored in MOV format rather than the AVI format that was used by the S2. As my video editing program (Pinnacle Studio) won't accept MOV files, a conversion step is required. There are plenty of free conversion programs available that can be used to solve the second problem (I use "format factory"). The 20X optical zoom, 10 megapixel resolution, comfortable "feel", and long battery life (with rechargeable NiMH batteries) makes this a tremendously versatile camera, and it's all there without the need for interchangeable lenses. The quality is what I've come to expect with Canon cameras. I recommend this camera for any serious amateur photographer, and it just might do it for beginning professionals.Digital camera Review: A big raspberry....

Not what I had hoped. I have yet to get a picture of the grandkids where some part of the picture is not blurry. I've tried every setting. I'm going back to my Fuji.Digital camera Review: A great bridge
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this camera because it is large enough to hold on to and has many features of SLR - without the price. So far I have loved using it. It has a few buttons (diaopter) that are a little hard to use because they are small. Over all it makes a great addition to the canon line which I have always loved.Digital camera Review: A great camera
Summary: 5 Stars
Juat look at sample pics and compare to pics from cams that cost 5x more. It's a hard lesson for my Besenjis, but it's not the tool, but the artists' approach which counts. In fact, even if you own a more expensive or complex camera, you should buy this to "de-program your brain" from the obsession with gadgets.Digital camera Review: A great camera, period!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this camera to replace my older point and shoot Canon because I have recently gotten into racing photography and graphic design for my business. I needed something a little more high end without going the full digital SLR route. Honestly, most people that carry around the SLR's and 4 lenses are total overkill anyway. The shots from this camera I can almost guarantee you, are just as good as theirs.
This camera has totally exceeded my expectations in both picture quality and ease of use. The manual adjustments on this camera make it really easy to adjust settings for various environments, including racing photography. The size of the camera is perfect and I love having the flexibility of it without having to buy or carry around 10 different lenses, flashes, etc.
I have tested this camera out on all sorts of different subjects and it really produces great shots across the entire spectrum. For the money, I really don't see how this camera can be beat. Unless you are some stalker paparazzi type of person, this camera should fit most any photographic need you have, while still being a simple camera to operate.
I find the layout of the buttons to be quite nice, contrary to other reviews. The screen on this camera is also really nice, but I rarely use it.
My only negative for this camera (as others have mentioned) is that the lens cap needs a string on it or some way to keep better track of it.
Overall, a great camera that I am extremely happy with. I have purchased Canon products for the last 10 years and will continue to do so.
