Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Customer Review: Fantastic camera for the Money! Everything in one Pkg. It does take a 52mm uv or polarizer lens
Summary: 5 Stars
Contrary to other reviews, you can put a 52mm UV or polarizer lightweight lens on the end of the zoom They fit, I have done this with mine.
t takes great pictures and I bought it as a upgrade to the Cannon S5 IS (that you have to use converter lenses to attain what this SX10 IS already has built into it). The only carry over that I can use from my Canon S5 IS, with the SX10 IS, is the Speedlite 430 flash for the external hot shoe. The manual and other reviews state that no lenses can be attached. They are wrong!!! I have numerous step up and step down rings from my other cameras and lo and behold, found that the end of the SX10 IS can take a 52mm ring or in other words a 52mm polarizer or uv lens etc. can be attached to it. This is true because I now can attach them to mine. Also, I do not like the lens cap that came with it., even though it can be attached to the strap. I had another cap from another camera that was a 52mm with a cord that was attached to it and I put this cap on my new camera instead. Just Google 52mm lens cap with a string and you can purchase one for under 4 dollars. I also use 8gb or larger SD cards and the new 2900 MIH rechargeable batteries (nothing lower than 2900) that last all day. This is the camera that I will be using for a long time. It has everything built into it with no need to carry additional heavy lenses. I highly endorse it. The flip out lcd is another plus.
Customer Review: Happy with my decision: aware of the drawbacks
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased a SX10IS through Amazon - process and delivery was perfect. Wanting an advanced Point-and-Shoot for wildlife and wanting to avoid interchangeable lenses, I researched this camera thoroughly. It looks as though Canon has tried to overcome the shortcomings of the SX10 with changes in the SX20 and SX1 but went backwards in image quality and viewfinder definition. I needed wins in both these areas so I went with the older SX10. There must be a reason that they keep it in the lineup even after its replacements have been brought to market. Being my first serious digital camera, and coming from a film SLR background, I find I use the viewfinder as much as the LCD. I will grow into the LCD use I am sure. I was concerned by the reports that this camera does not take good pictures. I find it is very sharp right out of the box. It can not stretch the envelope with low light, way out zoom, ultra slow shutter speeds, but within these limitations I have been producing some very credible pictures after only a few days. They will only get better as I learn about this tool and get a tripod. I have not tried the video feature yet. Rigth out of the box, I set this SX10 up with a Lensmate filter converter, a 58mm protective filter, Eneloop recharge AA batts, 8 gig SD card and a LCD screen protective sheet. All set for a walk in the woods or shots into my backyard. I am very satisfied with my decision.Customer Review: Top-notch enthusiast point-and-shoot
Summary: 5 Stars
Much has been said in earlier reviews so I'll limit my review to subjective feedback. This is my 7th digital camera, including use of a Canon XSi. I've had limited shooting opportunities with this so far, but am VERY impressed with how capable it is. I've shot several shots now at the full 20x zoom and am very surprised by the high level of detail captured by this lens (see sample photo of a shore bird on the beach). Video quality is likewise superb and is one reason that this is my take-everywhere camera. The fact that it has a hotshoe allowing you to add a pro-level flash (e.g. 430EX) adds to the versatility of this camera. Also appreciated is the swivel LCD. This is a carry-over from older models. Few cameras offer this now. For most shooting, I prefer the optical viewfinder, but you'll be surprised how many uses you find for an LCD like this.
Is this camera for you? That all depends on what you'll do with the camera. The zoom feature (including wide angle), combined with excellent image quality, is really what pushes this camera over the top for me. There is very little you cannot do with this camera. The downside is that it is not a pocketable camera. It is fairly large and heavy. But if you don't mind the bulk, the camera will reward you with some great shots and video. It is worth a serious look.
Customer Review: Fantastic Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I just received this camera after months of research.I narrowed it down between the sx10 and the fx28. I now know I made the right decision with the sx10. Any bad reviews on this product can only be for three reasons.
they are canon haters, they dont know how to operate the camera, or they received a defective camera. This camera focuses spot on quickly in light or dark areas.The picture quality is close to dslr quality. The movie mode is as good as my sony digital handy cam.The camera feels great in your hands and there are so many options that it is a great camera for photo enthusiasts. It is also a great point and shoot camera if you dont want to get into all of the options. The purple fringing everybody talks about is absent on regular size prints. If you blow them up the pictures look beautiful, with vivid scrumptious quality. If you purchase this camera make sure you buy the 4000 leather case made by canon for it. they go well togeather. Like I said dont listen to the negative feed back. True it doesnt have raw, But I know it will be available on wiki soon for a download. Dont hesitate get it now Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoomyou wont be disappointed.
Customer Review: Canon Powershot SX101S 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Summary: 5 Stars
The Canon Powershot SX101S 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stablilized Zoom is the kind of digital camera I always wanted. I love the fact that you can use SD/SDHC memory cards to take the pictures so it gives you the flexibility and freedom to take the memory card and send it to photo developer for prints or you can download the software that comes with the camera to store and print your photos. I love the fact that it has a wide angle lens and optical Image Stabilization for improved speed and great zooming. For me, I love taking landscape shots when I'm traveling and I just love shooting a subject with landscape as a backdrop so this feature is very handy. I also love the movie snap mode which allows me to capture high resolution still images while shooting a movie. I also love the fact that for a very sophiticated,and technologically advanced camera it is very user friendly. The user's manual is very straightforward and easy to read and comprehend. There are so many features on the camera that makes it virtually impossible to take a bad picture and if you aren't satisfied with your shot you can delete the photo from the memory card and retake the photo. It is really fantastic and I would recomend this camera who is a novice to an avid photographer. I'm like a kid in a candy store.
