Digital camera reviews of Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Digital camera Review: Build quality is poor
Summary: 2 Stars
Got this camera a couple of years ago. It gave me very poor pictures with almost every setting except auto. The image stabilization was not very good and the all photos seemed washed out -- over-exposed.
Worst of all, the battery compartment cap/cover broke and now the camera cannot hold the batteries in. A camera this price should be more durable.
Digital camera Review: Buy your own memory card!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love my new camera for all the same reasons other reviewers have mentioned. My one squabble is that it does not come with a memory card!! I was shocked! (Probably should've read the "what's in the box" print more closely.) I simply assumed that for the price I'd also get at least a small card. I feel a bit nickled and dimed. So learn from my mistake.... buy a card along with your camera so you really can use it right out of the box. Oh, yes, get some rechargeable NiMH batteries, too. You'll go broke buying alkalines. All things said, I still love my camera and would buy it again in a heartbeat.Digital camera Review: CANON Powershot SX 10 IS - Exceeded My Expectations
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely love this camera. I have only had the SX 10 for a little over a month and i wanted to be fully familiar with it before i wrote a review on it. I decided to get the SX 10 for several reasons. Cost, Quality, Functionality, and Ease Of Use. I have been using Canon cameras for many years. I love Canon products, they have never let me down. To me this camera is the best of both worlds. I do a lot of landscape and nature photography and so i really need the wide angle and the telephoto reach. The macro and supermacro modes are outstanding. To me the 5.0-100.0mm (35mm equivalent: 28-560mm) Lens is the most amazing thing about this camera. The lens on this camera is truly amazing. You can really reach out and touch somebody with this bad boy.
The Canon SX 10 IS is a excellent choice if you don't have the money for DSLR. I am still learning and this camera is certainly a great one to learn with because you have many of the functions of a good DSLR. The Auto mode works really well and you can get away with most shots by simply point and shoot. But for the shots that you cant pull of in Auto you have the ability to go full Manual Which i love. There are way too many great functions on this camera for me to list. I didn't buy this camera for the video but the video is fantastic as well. I was actually shocked the first time i the recorded a practice session of my friends band, the audio and video quality are truly awesome. The SX 10 really is the one of the closest things you can get to DSLR without having to spend thousands of dollars.
A lot of people seem to think that you can't use lens filters with the SX10, but they couldn't be more wrong. Just google Lensmate SX 10. I got the Lensmate Adapter 58mm, Hoya UV filter 58mm, an extra Lens Cap 58mm to fit the UV filter, and a Hoya HMC Circular Polarizer 58 mm and a few other goodies. I leave the Lensmate Adapter and the UV filter on the SX10 at all times to protect the main lens. This is the perfect addition. You can have a lot of fun with a Cir Polarizer. They are very useful for Landscape Photography because they help make the skies blue and the clouds white as they should be. The Polarizer is also great for taking the reflections off of water or glass.
My only complaint with this camera is Canon or actually Myself. I bought this camera about a month ago and about two weeks later Canon sent me an email saying that the Canon Powershot SX 20 was about to be released. That really struck a nerve ha. I really don't know how they could improve this model very much but i would have definitely loved to have had a heads up about the new SX 20 IS. Oh Well i guess that's what i get for not doing more research. I am certainly very happy with the SX 10. And with this model i can use the Canon Powershot SX10 IS CHDK Hack to unlock many more functions and capabilities such as RAW Image Format, Time Lapse, Remote Shutter Release, Motion detection, Bracketing, DOF Calculator, ETC ETC.
This was my first purchase from Amazon.com and i am extremely satisfied with Amazon. I ordered this camera late in the afternoon around 3:00pm or 4:00pm on a Thursday and it was at my house by 4:00pm Friday, ready for the weekend abuse.
The Canon Powershot SX 10 IS is an excellent choice for beginner as well as advanced photographers. The Quality and Functionality of this camera greatly out weigh the cost. I would recommend the Canon SX 10 to anybody looking for an excellent all in one type of camera. Go ahead and pick one up you won't be disappointed.
