Awesome hardware, poor documentation...as usual

Strengths: Long zoom, information filled display, protected display screen

Weakness: Flash compatibility limited to EX family, only JPG still format, poor user manual

I have been a long time Canon fan, and this camera does nothing to change that. Overall, the camera is solid and it takes excellent pictures even at the max optical focal length...beyond that we all know what happens. The facial recognition is spot on, and it even recognized my dogs face once. This camera appealed to me mainly for its long lens. 10M pixels is more than sufficient as I am not...

Great camera

Strengths: Optical Zoom, ease of use, variety of settings

Weakness: None

I have been a Canon owner for over 30 years. I have the S3is and now the SX10is. Very similar but the increased megapixels and optical zoom of the SX10 make this a great upgrade. Using a different neck strap makes the weight of this camera go away, the thin neckstrap that comes with the camera is not good. I use a monopod when I am hiking and that makes a huge difference in the picture taking....

Great performance, lightweight and easy to use

Strengths: Takes great pictures and it's very verstile, it's a good point and shoot camera. Zoom is awesome compared to other brands like Nikon, Panasonic, Casio.

Weakness: LCD is too dark, flash doesn't popup

For a good point and shoot camera, I think this one is good enough for the average needs. I don't need a G8 or G9 or something too expensive. The price is very reasonable and it's has an excellent zoom that beats out some SLRs on the market. The video mode is awesome but you don't want to zoom in/out during the recording. My biggest grips are the LCD screen doesn't reflect the image and is way...

Outstanding camera especially considering it's price.

Strengths: Fantastic pictures. Color reproduction and clarity are incredible. Lens versatility is outstanding from wide angle to 20X being crisp and clear. The image stabilization is also very affective.

Weakness: The included lens cap's a bit on the cheap side. Get a 52MM cap and keeper. As mentioned by others, the camera has no provision for filter attachment. Hope some outfit comes out with an adapter.

Both my wife and I have one of these cameras and together, on our recent trip to the Grand Canyon, took well over 2000 shots. Yep, over 9 gigs worth and I'll put must of them up against the postcards you can buy of the canyon any day. I've got stills of Condors in flight so clear that you can see the veins of their feathers and the radio tracking transmitters on their wings. Does every picture...

Great Back-Up Camera

Strengths: Compact, great clarity and sharpness of photos at all focal lengths. Feels comfortable while holding and shooting. Many, many features and great battery life with rechargeables. Hot shoe.

Weakness: A little slow. But I expected that because it is not an SLR. Doesn't shoot in RAW format. But I can do that with my XTi. Recommend you sit down at least 1-2 hours with camera and manual.

Takes excellent photos even at 20x optical zoom. Oh, by the way, it DOES take filters. I have a 52mm Sunpak UV filter on mine that I took off of my 80-200mm Canon lens that I don't use any more and it threads perfectly.

Lens error, restart camera

Strengths: Takes very nice pictures; light weight; uses AA batteries so extra batteries and a charger are not necessarily required to take along. Pictures with 20x zoom and digital zoom are awesome!

Weakness: Lens error

I've had the camera for just about 5 weeks. I haven't used it much because when I zoom with the camera I get a "lens error, restart camera" message. The camera shuts down and does not turn on right away. Several good shots have been lost due to the camera error. I have returned the camera to Canon for repair or replacement. We'll see what happens. If it wasn't for the lens error, I would highly...

The nicest point and shot camera around

Strengths: easy to use after reading the documentation, and rereading it again after using the camera for a few days. Takes 52mm Filters.

Weakness: feels like I am going to break it -- light and very plastic.

After getting the camera I sat down and read the manual -- got the PDF off the the Cannon site. Because this has so many automated settings, and some settings don't always work with other settings as "I" expect them to, I spent the time try'n to understand the diagram in the back that shows how they all interrelate with each other, then after a few days with the camera, spent time with the book...

Great Camera

Strengths: High quality pictures. Great zoom with fine clarity and color retention. Easy to use and carry

Weakness: Not capable of RAW images.

I feel this camera is an excellent choice for any enthusiast. If you just take picture without much photo editing, RAW images is no concern. But if you like to shoot RAW and then edit, you will be disappointed. The IS works well, and the 20x zoom is phenomenal. I also use a Canon D20, and I find myself looking at the SX10 as the "go to" camera.

Nice Camera

Strengths: Offers lots of features. Nice viewing screen. Easy to setup.

Weakness: Heavy, does not accept lens filters. I can't believe canon would make such a nice camera that doesn't accept filters. WHAT ARE THEY THINKING! Not!

I also own a Powershot A620 and it takes pictures that are superior to the SX10IS and is much easier to use. I also see that they no longer make the A620. I love Canon but I am wondering what they are doing in the research and development department. Canon needs to make an adapter that accepts filters for the camera. Come on Canon, THINK! You are too good of a company to do something so stupid.

Memory Card Question

Strengths: The camera more than meets my needs.

Weakness: Can't find info.

Is there a limit to the size of the memory card this camera can use? In short, what do you recommend for a memory card? I am considering 8GB or 16GB SanDisk cards. (I bought a 16GB on e-Bay and it became corrupted about a month into it and I lost many "once in a lifetime" images. Oh the woe of an apparent bargain.) Sorry this isn't a review, but I haven't found this info.elsewhere.

Canon PowerShot SX10 IS

THE GOOD: Speedy performance with solid battery life; articulating LCD; comfortable shooting design; can zoom during movie capture. THE BAD: No HD movie capture or raw support; a few annoying design quirks; frustratingly narrow lens aperture at maximum zoom. THE BOTTOM LINE: A nice evolution of the megazoom, the Canon PowerShot SX10 IS delivers some improvements over its predecessor and provides...

DCRP Review: Canon PowerShot SX10 IS

When a 12X or even 15X zoom lens just isn't enough, Canon offers their new PowerShot SX10 IS. It offers a whopping 20X zoom lens (with a really nice 28 - 560 mm range), along with a 10 Megapixel CCD, full manual controls, hot shoe, rotating LCD display, and VGA movie mode. Photo quality is generally very good, as long as you don't let the ISO wander too high (most notably in low light...

Canon PowerShot SX10 IS

PowerShots has a faithful band of happy users, and it looks like it's safe for that trend to continue with the Canon SX10 IS. Though the lens focal length has nearly doubled to 20x, optical quality remains solid, with unusually sharp corners and minimal barrel distortion. About the only notable problem is the bright chromatic aberration, but that accompanies most extreme long zooms like this....

Camera Labs – Canon PowerShot SX10 IS review

The PowerShot SX10 IS is Canon's latest super-zoom camera. It retains the manual control, flash hotshoe, stereo microphones and fully articulated monitor of the best-selling S5 IS, but significantly upgrades the optical zoom from 12x to a whopping 20x; with a 28-560mm equivalent range, this crucially both extends and widens the coverage. The resolution has also been boosted to 10 Megapixels with...

Canon PowerShot SX10 IS Review

The Canon PowerShot SX10 IS is the newest 20x ultra-zoom camera on the block, and the first such model from Canon. Offering a massive focal length of 28-560mm, the Canon SX10 also features a sensible 10 megapixels, built-in image stabilisation, tilting 2.5 inch LCD screen, and a full range of manual shooting modes.
