Digital camera reviews of Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Digital camera Review: All the features without the hassle
Summary: 5 Stars
This camera is what we were looking for. We wanted one camera with the versatility to capture everday life. This camera is great for taking pictures at a distance, like shots during the the school play or on the ball field. Without changing a lens you can zoom in on the detail shots, like a butterfly landing on a vibrant flower or fish under water. I was going to wait and pay more money for all the same features as the new PowerShot SX1 IS. I am glad i didn't. This camera has been worth every dollar. Previously we had a sony cyber shot and this camera lacked in quality and capability when compared to this camera. No comparison! You actually feel like your holding a sturdy camera not a toy electronic device. I just wish it came with the power cable for down loads. You have to buy that seperate and Canon recomends using one for downloading.Digital camera Review: All you expect a Canon to be

Summary: 5 Stars
After one month and over 3000 pictures later, I can happily say I love this camera.
The fun part is figuring out what it can do. With all the available settings, it can be a bit intimidating at first. My first photos - especially of my 19-month-old son - turned out a bit blurry.
However, with some practice I'm now catching the little guy more consistently.
Playing with the macro has been the most fun. I've caught some amazing photos of insects and flowers. As for the zoom, I've taken pictures of high-flying birds and planes, many of which turn out surprisingly clear.
My only gripe is I can't get closer to my macro subjects. However, with the purchase of a macro lens -- which I plan on purchasing soon -- will fix that.
It's also fairly easy to upgrade. With the purchase of an adapter from lensmate, I can now use filters, and of course with the hotshoe I can add an external flash.
If you're looking for a versatile camera, but don't have the cash for a DSLR, this is the camera for you.

This is more than a point and shoot and less than a SLR. Moderate wide is most useful; super tele occasionally will find use. Close to ideal for general candid travel and family photos. Limited by sensitivity for low light and high motion shots. Controls more complex than necessary for 99% of people/shots, but nice for the other 1%. Excellent value for the dollar.Digital camera Review: Almost 100% satisfied.

So far I have taken around 600 pictures with the SX10 and have only one complaint. I am having trouble fine tuning the 'selecting ring'in SCN mode. I turn the dial and nothing moves and then all of a sudden it moves quickly to a selection I don't want and I have to begin again. I'm just not in control. However, the 20x zoom exceeded my expectations. I had originally wanted an Canon SLR just to use my measly 200mm zoom from my 35mm film Rebel, but this is much better for me (560mm w stabilization works well). I was also waiting for Canon to up their ISO ratings and by using the 3200 setting I was able to get some nice photos of Hula dancers and hope to do as well with indoor sport pictures. The 28mm wide angle lens is a plus I didn't know I needed until I began using the camera. I was able to properly frame many more single pictures than previously.
