Digital camera reviews of Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Digital camera Review: Best Camera I Have Ever Owned
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the Canon Powershot SX10IS a few weeks ago. It's a great camera and I highly recommend it. I'm a novice when it comes to photography. Despite my lack of experience in photography, I needed a new camera for a food blog that I was starting. Specifically, I needed a camera that could take decent up-close (macro) shots. As with most digital cameras in this price range, the SX10 shots are a bit noisy at ISO400 or greater. It's really easy-to-use and there are a lot of great features for the price. If you want to see some actual images shot with the camera, do a google search for "Cooking Ventures". All images were shot with the SX10.Digital camera Review: Best Digital Camera

The Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital camera is by far the best digital camera I've ever had... and I haven't even touched the surface on all the things I could do with it. It's easy to use and the zoom is unbelievable!Digital camera Review: Best Non-SLR out there
Summary: 5 Stars
This camera is awesome. I have had about 4 cameras in the last 6 years. Usually I get it play with it and donate it to family when I get a better one. This is my latest addition. I already took it on some trips and it was very good. The controls/options are something to get used to for the novice, you may need to review what AP and shutter speed do to a shot, but if you already know...you will love the camera.
It is also a camera that my friends have made comments about too.
I reviewed this camera on all the sites and almost all the sites have this one listed highest. "best non-SLR camera on the market"
Digital camera Review: Best all around "Super Zoom"
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had my SX10 for about a week and am very impressed with it's versatility. I tend to read all the user reviews I can before making a purchase and did that with the SX10. I also tested the camera with my own card in a local store and compared video and stills on the same card to the Pany TZ28. I am very interested in video and was attracted to the Pany because of its HD video. However, in testing, the SX10 was overall very superior. It has excellent color, unbelievable IS, smooth zoom, very nice stereo sound, and fool proof autofocus. I found the Pany to be weak in all those areas. I prefer the better "all around" video to the HD of the Pany.
Initially, I was spooked by the reports of a slow lens during medium to max zoom, 5.6 to be exact. I read enough reports to be convinced that the slow lens would not be especially restrictive for me due to compensation in ISO and speed setting, made possible by the excellent image stabilization. I have found the lens to be just fine, even at max zoom. I also found that the lens is fast enough for indoor non flash photography. I even tested the "ISO 3200" setting, which requires a lower mp setting. I printed these out at 3x5 and the pictures were very good.
At first, the LCD seemed dark. After I turned up the setting to bright, it was better. After using it awhile, it seems fine. The EVF is large and bright, the best I've seen.
When the professional reviews come out, there will certainly be knocks on the slow lens. In my opinion, this is more of a theoretical limitation than a practical one. If you like the camera, don't be spooked by the slow lens comments. If you're not sure, buy from Amazon with their excellent return policy.
One really solid feature is the wide angle of the lens. This was not a feature I thought I wanted or needed. Now that I've seen the wide angle, I'll never have another camera without it.
There are many other features that most will enjoy, including the dedicated video button, AA batteries, custom settings etc. I think average and very serious photographers alike will be happy with the SX10.
Digital camera Review: Best all around camera I have ever owned
Summary: 5 Stars
You will not go wrong with this camera. It is the most versitile camera on the planet earth. You will not believe the zoom on this camera and how well it works with the image stabilization. You will not need to carry a set of binoculars on your hike. This camera is simply amazing. Very high quality pictures at the maximum zoom even without a tripod.
