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

I've had this camera for a little over six months. I've taken thousands of pictures and love it, but I will try to sell it for something more hands on. I love the swivel viewer. I carry this camera everywhere. I wish the lens cap attached to the camera. I've dropped it in the lake once, luckily it didn't go too far.

Wow, what a piece of equipment! I am still getting used to all the settings on this camera! There is so much more capability than a point & shoot style digital camera I just graduated from. One thing I do not care for is the fact that this camera does not accept filters, I am a big fan of polarizers. But, as Canon has explained to me, you correct your exposures with the editing software included with this camera. I love the zoom range, the lens is perfect for all photo opportunities & situations. This is a great camera if you like to dabble with settings and exposures like you could with the old film SLR's. And the price is way below the digital SLR's. If you just want an easy camera that you can pick up & shoot, this may not be the one for you. It requires some thought about what setting you need to use. But if you are a discriminating photographer, there's probably features that are not available on this camera. It's a good middle of the road camera with SLR body styling.

The SX10 is a very good camera. I am still learning some of the advanced features. The Automatic mode works well, but some of the deer pictures work better using other settings due to the low light level when they come out to eat.

The pictures that I took of a water ski show also turned out very good and may become part of the promotional photos for the future.

This is a wonderful camera, but it was delivered broken. It would not receive the memory card, so we had to return it.

I got this camera after returning a less than stellar Nikon L100 and it has not disappointed me yet. Working right out of the box with very minimal reading of the manual, great pictures of my pets and kids in action, lots of scene modes to chose from. My only complaint, as mentioned in other reviews is the scroll wheel is VERY sensitive and often bypasses the mode I am trying to get into. I can forgive that with the overall quality of the camera.

If you are on the fence about this camera, it is great. A little large, but I do not mind that.
