Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom: Customer Reviews & Product Details

Great Camera. The pics I took on vacation at the coast turned out great. Quality I haven't experienced since my days of using Canon film camera. The only disappointment was no threads for adding filters but Lensmate makes an adapter that allows you to add a filter. I bought one for each filter I use.

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.

Let me start by saying that I'm basically a point and shoot kind of camera user, from time to time I get creative and do a little bit of macro photos and B&Ws but that's it.

I upgraded from the S2 IS and I must say that I'm really happy with my new camera, it feels less clunky that the S2, the black body color is definitely nicer that the old silver and the bigger screen is a superb improvement.

The IS works pretty well and you will notice it the most at full zoom. Another really nice thing is the wide angle lens, no one is left outside the photo in confined spaces (like small rooms, or cramped restaurants) anymore.

I've been reluctant to buy a SLR because of the wider selection of lenses and the investment that it demands, with this camera so far I can cover all my needs and postpone the jump to a SLR even further.

Bottomline, if you want an all around camera with a super zoom and wide lens then this is the camera for you...

I really love this camera. I was coming from a Cannon sure shot, little thing. It is biggger and heavier, but the pictures are AWESOME! I feel like a professional. The flash on it works nice, but I even purchased the hot shoe flash and wow... I just want to take pictures all of the time. The only thing is I don't know what to do with the lens cap. I wish it was on a string. One I take it off, I try to attach it on the neck strap, but it usually ends up in my pocket!! I have been very pleased with the camera. Features are awesome, too. I love the red eye reduction, and the options of cropping right from the camera (so now computer needed.)

I have owned the S3 and the S5 before buying the SX10.
So far, the camera is excellent although I would like a remote control.
I have owned Canon products for the last 50 years and have always been pleased with the quality.
