 Amazing ZOOM and Stabilization October 12, 2009

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!!!
 Caution is the word for this camera October 9, 2009

You get what you pay for, and I evidently down-sized in some unanticipated ways from a Panasonic FZ-50 to this Canon, hoping for the added benefit of the extra zoom. Just beware of this camera's limited capabilities in low light - and without bright light - the problem of uncertainty of focus at maximum zoom. When you change the ISO to 200, you pick up discernible noise, inapparent when you check you pictures on the LCD. I should add that the "wheel" which manages ISO and other changes is cheaply made and awkward to use and that both the view finder and the LCD are - frankly - not quality. By the way, the video button, which is easy to get to, is in fact awkward to use and I find I have to push down. I will say I have no problem with the rechargeable battery solution - though its a nuisance - and an obvious way of Canon controlling costs. Do know I spent much less for this camera than for the Panasonic when it first came out, so I understand I got what I paid for. There are some interesting bells and whistles, but these compensate for the shortcomings in the basics. My hunch is that this is the case with the SI 20 as well. But with any luck Canon won't have me as a consumer again.
 Very nice camera October 9, 2009

You should read the more in-depth reviews first, but I just wanted to add my voice and say that this is a really nice camera.
If you are on the cusp of getting an SLR but not quite sure you want to delve into it (as I was), this is a good choice.
I really like most aspects of it and don't have any major complaints. Getting it to focus properly in the environments I used it in (I was photographing performers at music events) was pretty frustrating at times, but once I got to know it well enough it was better. The built-in flash is fairly useless for low light settings where the subject is more than a few feet away. Also a problem with the built-in flash if you plan on using it: if you have the Lens Hood attached, there will be a shadow along the bottom of your photos because the built-in flash does not project far enough over it.
I also got this for the video capability but was very annoyed by the sound recording. In loud environments, even on the lowest input-volume setting, it will record with lots of distortion. I didn't understand this because friends of mine have older and lower-model PowerShots and in the same environments they could record without distortion. You'd think this would be possible on the better model, but apparently not.
Other than that, a very solid product all around.
Powered zoom system too fast October 9, 2009

I'm an experienced photographer who grew up with SLR, medium format, and view cameras while working as a pro in the military and commercially afterward. Today, I shoot only for some business and recreational needs. This is a really good compromise camera for someone wishing to avoid the bottomless cost of and SLR, along with the additional weight. My one beef is the electrically powered zoom, which reacts way too quickly. My last camera was a Minolta Dimage, which is no longer made. It, too, was a super zoom, but the lens barrel had to be manually twisted to zoom in/out. This allowed much, much finer adjustment of the zoom at a speed of the users choosing. As an all around compromise camera, this is a good value. There is always some degradation of image quality that's a given with a superzoom camera, and that is evident in this product.
All Auto Functions is excellent. All Manually Functions is not very bad. October 7, 2009

This is my 6th digital camera and 3rd from Canon.
This camera is not for everyday using (size and weight).
This is "weekend-camera". :)
General characteristic is in the title.
