Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom - 2665B001

Don't Waste Your Money

Canon should be ashamed of the (lack) of quality with this product. I have already had to send the Powershot 10IS back twice. When it came back the second time with a problem in the zoom lens getting hung up, I wrote to Canon directly. They sent me the newer version of this camera the 20IS. I haven't had it but two weeks and already it is doing some of the same things, zoom lens getting hung up, quality of the picture is poor, and the focusing is hard to manage. I would not recommend this product at all!! Of course, they are not calling me back after the second go round. I will no longer be a Canon fan nor recommend Canon to anyone. I am semi-pro. I had a Panasonic Lumix that was a far cry better than this one.

Love this camera, but want an upgrade

I've had this camera for a little over six months. I've taken thousands of pictures and loved it. I'm getting into photography, I just needed something more hands on. Something that I can take control of. I didn't like how I was limited with what the camera thought was right for me. I do love the swivel LCD screen, it makes complicated angels much better to take pictures of. I carry this camera everywhere even though it is not that small. Since the camera had the swivel LCD screen, I wasn't worried that it would scratch while in my purse. I wish the lens cap attached to the camera. I've dropped it in the lake once, luckily it didn't go too far. I realize that most lens do not have the lens cap attached. Something to get used to.

Canon SX10IS Digital Camera

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.

SX10

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.
