Digital camera reviews of Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Digital camera Review: Amazing ZOOM and Stabilization
Summary: 5 Stars
If your pictures aren't turning out, you're probably doing something wrong. Small changes make a huge difference. Especially simple things like the White Balance/changing the light source. Take a picture of a cut open watermelon and watch the red heart go from auto bland to a bright juicy red. You can even set the Red in the Colors menu. But just changing the light source makes all the diffence in the world! The most amazing thing with this camera is the Stabilization!!! You can free hand all the way into the digital zoom and have your pictures come out clearer and better than they even look through the lcd. I'm constantly amazed at how stable it is. That's what made me choose this over the Nikon with 20x optical zoom and the rest of the competition. Just zoom out in the store and watch it find and track Faces from 10' to 100'. It even seperates the Facial Recognition pic.s when you download into it's own file, just faces.
Just for the hell-of-it, when I registered this camera, I let CANON know that my 4 year old A75 PowerShot stopped working. It blurred out with purple vertical lines. They said to send it in and they'd fix it for free if it was one of those that got a bad CCD. Ten minutes ago the Fed Ex guy brought it back and it's fixed!!! FREE, new CCD and adjusted and cleaned! Amazing. Just that alone makes me glad that I picked the Canon. What other company would pay shipping and fix a 4 year old camera for FREE?! NONE!!! Very Impressed with Canon. They've made me a loyal customer for life. They probably fixed it because I just bought this SX10IS. But, they didn't have to. I never expected them to do this. I was just curious to why my A75 went bad and if it was worth fixing to use as my work camera. Anyway, I never write reviews, but no one's ever fixed a camera that's years past warranty for free and had it back in under 2 weeks!!! My next camera will be a Canon, and the one after that, and after that... When I was researching for the SX10IS, the main complaint was that the lens cap gets lost. Mine hasn't and they make caps with a lanyard for like [...] bucks! What it comes down to is, shake all you want, your pictures will still come out butter smooth, even a mile away!!!
Digital camera Review: Amazing and Life Changing
Summary: 5 Stars
Pros: Easy to use, superzoom, outstanding clarity & quality, long battery life
Cons: I find it gets heavy, but I have a fanny type camera bag that seems to help with that.
I am a complete rookie when it comes to photography. I wanted a point and shoot camera that I could grow into. The x20 optical zoom does truly take fantastic pics of the moon. This camera allows you to point and shoot and take fantastic photos. However, there is also the manual and program sets that will allow you to create custom settings. (This is where the "grow into" comes in.)
The photos I've taken have been tremendous and have changed how my family lives their lives, lol. Always ready to pose for Mom or stop the car for that "shot".
At this price (at the time of this $380 min) is a valuable investment. I look forward to using this camera for year and years to come. I have graduations to capture=)
Digital camera Review: Amazing but....
Summary: 3 Stars
...heavy and complicated! This camera was on my wish list for quite a long time. It's a gorgeous camera, all the features are amazing but the camera is too heavy and complicated!
It gives you a bunch of buttons and a diverse menu that you will never use. I like the camera, I have tryied many times from a friend and I decided to buy a nikon P80
Nikon is a very comfortable camera in size and features menu. All the features are in a click of a button, easy to understand and the pictures are amazing good as the cannon. Nikon is a little bit cheaper, lite, comes with averything you need if you buy from amazon.
The big difference between this too that I really miss is that cannon has a rotate image when you turn it around and the batteries are AAA. The nikon does not turn the image ( We don't need that anyway) and the battery is rechargeble, but the amazon package comes with an extra one.
So...If you do not need professional camera, and you decide to buy one like that, I would go for NIKON P80.
I hope my enaglish is not that bad! :o) Good luck to you all

Digital camera Review: Amazing zoom
Summary: 5 Stars
Amazing zoom lens. Amazing part is the vibration reduction, even without a rest. Down side is resolution may only be 180 dpi, not good enough for magazine print. Doesn't tell you that anywhere.
Haven't used all the modes yet, but even auto is fine. See my photo in the photo review section.
Digital camera Review: Amazon's Canon SX10
Summary: 5 Stars
Amazon needs to lower the price of this camera. Best Buy and Walmart have you beat. Their price is 20 to 30 dollars less than Amazon's price, and you don't have to pay shipping. And I am a regular Amazon shopper. Wake up amazon.
