I have owned this camera for over 2 years now and I still can't get over the main strengths of this camera - the 1080P HD video and high-end audio quality. Since that time, I have tried numerous point and shoot cameras, as well as dedicated camcorders, for the primary use of recording HD video. To this date, I have still not found a camera that has surpassed the Canon SX1 IS in terms of both video (in good light) and audio quality (especially recording bass at concert-level volumes). This includes digital cameras such as the Panasonic DMC-TS3, Sony DSC-TX10 and the DSC-HX9V, and even the high-end Canon HV30 and HF G10 camcorders. The overall quality of the video and audio captures are so good that you forget that this is primarily a stills camera than a camcorder. I have never been impressed with either AVCHD or mp4 formats when compared to the less-compressed .mov format that this camera uses. The quality even exceeds that of my tape-based HV30, which is a feat in itself considering that this has been a reference-level camcorder for consumers. I think Canon primarily designed this camera to be used as an HD camcorder, considering that the fully-articulating LCD display is natively 16:9 aspect ratio like many HD camcorders. However, the big negatives about this camera that I've experienced over the years are its short battery life (uses 4-AA's) and its relatively heavy weight and large non-pocketable size (size does matter, especially for heavy traveling). I have tried to overcome the short battery life issue using high-capacity (up to 3000 mAH) rechargeable AA batteries, but still falls way short of a good high-capacity lithium battery. The other negative is its performance in low light compared to the newer cameras that I've used. I have tried to find a smaller and lighter replacement for this camera that improves upon these weaknesses, but I still have not found any to date that are equal or better than the strengths of the SX1 IS. One more thing about the audio - it's so good that when I play footage back on my high-end Yamaha home theater system using Definitive Technology tower speakers, it feels as if you really are there. No other camera that I've tried has been able to accomplish this to the same level of sonic accuracy. The built-in stereo mic's are so good that they rival some of the best external consumer microphones (I also own the Rode VideoMic for my camcorders). I suspect that the reason why dedicated HD camcorders today do not use the .mov format and use the highly compressed AVCHD and mp4 is to save on memory usage and battery consumption at the expense of image and sound quality. This camera records audio with uncompressed linear PCM stereo which is non-existent in the current crop of consumer camcorders (as of 2/2012). I have given many negative reviews on them because it appears that none of the consumer camcorder manufacturers (including Canon) seem to put any emphasis on sound quality as well as the SX1 IS did. When I spent over $1500 on the Canon HF G10, I never expected the audio to sound so poor in comparison with the SX1 IS. This has become a reference camera since that time. In addition, being able to record in full 1080P at 30 fps that is not available in the 1080P, 24 fps Canon SX40, is a definite plus. I still think this camera is the most underrated and best kept secret that Canon has ever manufactured, especially at the consumer level when it comes to outstanding audio reproduction. No need to even have a dedicated PCM recorder to record outstanding audio. It is just that good.
Update: 4/26/14 - Over the years since I purchased this camera, the more I learned about succeeding codecs which I found to be inferior to the the .mov codec used in this camera. The AVCHD codec used in most video cameras today is a clearly inferior format due to the aggressive compression standards that are not used in the SX1 IS. In addition, the AVCHD codec does not allow for the use of LPCM audio, which results in poor quality audio. This camera was probably the biggest sleeper because it offered superior video and audio quality compared to many HD video cameras today. I own the Panasonic GH3, but the poor built-in mic's spoil the very good LPCM internal audio recorder which cannot be utilized without a good external mic like the Rode Stereo VideoMic Pro. This camera has great built-in mic's. If it were not for the poor low light performance and the inability to take still captures while shooting video without interruption, this would still be my go-to camera today.

The adapter is all metal and works as expected. The lenses fit well without light leaks and they seat with out excessive force.

Bought this to replace a lost Canon lens cap, and I like it better than the original because it has deeper finger indentations than the factory original, and it has the tether to keep it from getting lost. The one I received is slightly different than pictured, but I like what I received better than what is pictured because of the differences. The manufacture is at least as high or better than the Canon original, but it has no Canon logo, which suits me fine. If I had a choice between the Canon factory original or this replacement, I'd take this replacement over the original. It seems to attach and detach more easily than the original, and the tether is a winner. Altogether satisfied.

The battery was allowed to fully charge before putting it into use and does not maintain a charge between uses. The camera is not used very often, or for very long; only when one or two photos are necessary. After 1-2 weeks sitting idle, the battery low charge symbol flashes, as it did with the older battery that needed replacing.

I have a whole slew of wonderful, coloriscious old Minolta, tack sharp Kiron and stellar Canon glass from the 60's- 90's that I often thought about putting up on fleabay, and I am SO glad I was too lazy. My old 40 1.8 is back in action and as gorgeous now as it was back in the film days. my 58 1.2 is resurrected as well, and just as magical as I remembered it to be. The old glass on an a7R lends a pronounced 'feel' to the image, and I'm quickly getting to the point where I can tell which lens I used after the fact just by the character of the picture. Not all the old lenses have sufficient resolution to really push the sensor, but many have such exceptional color and charming anomalies that they may, finally, get worn out. To replace my whole bag of old glass with modern new iterations would be astronomically expensive. For a few dollars, you can get the charm of the old and implement it with the tech of today and make images that are TRULY distinctive and spectacular and maybe more importantly, FUN again. This adapter fits VERY well, mounts easily and snugs down solidly with no wobble or gaps. I'll eventually just buy more and leave them on the lenses to cut swap time, and be very happy to spend a few dollars to reincarnate all my old friends.

Doesn't quiiiite focus to infinity, but it does focus several miles away, so unless you're taking photos of the moon, it's fine. Super solid and well built, fits perfect. Can't go wrong with the price.

I own a camera identical to this one that was purchased new (from a different retailer) and it is fabulous. However, this one was purchased used and the quality is not the same. The image stabilization does not work correctly and the picture quality is not good. When I wrote to the seller about this he/she basically accused me of dropping it and trying to get a refund. I have gotten NOTHING in return. Do not do business with this seller!

I bought this camera about a month before I went on a vacation. I tried it out on a variety of everyday situations, and it seemed to work reasonably well, although the viewfinder turned out to be even more worthless then mentioned in other reviews. The wide angle was less wide than my previous camera, but I thought it would be OK for most pictures. It wasn't until I started using it on my trip that I discovered that this camera has very serious flaws which are especially evident at long distance shots. When shooting at maximum wide angle, the LCD shows a wider field of view than the camera can actually photograph. Everything looks good on the LCD up to pressing the shutter button, but when the display comes up afterward, the result is cropped picture about 5-10% smaller on the LCD screen (and on the memory card) than was shown in the preview. If you try to take a near maximum width picture of a wide building, the sides get cut off. If you notice the cropping when the two second display comes up, in theory you can back up and take an overly large picture, but I found in many city situations the combination of the limited wide angle capability and this cropping made taking the picture of a moderately wide building or similar subject impossible. There was an even worse problem, however. Every so often I would take a carefully composed photo, and the the result would the a picture skewed up or down by about 20%, from what was shown in the viewfinder when I clicked the shutter. It turns out that you can carefully click the shutter, wait for the screen to go dark and the shutter sounds to complete, but apparently the camera has still not captured the image. I found I had to wait and hold the camera steady for a couple of seconds or so after the shutter click to make sure the picture registered properly. To be really safe, you need to wait for the preview to come up and look at it carefully. Needless to say these problems are a disaster if you are taking any sort of action scene. I've never had this sort of problem with any other digital camera. Canon PowerShot G15 12MP Digital Camera with 3-Inch LCD (Black)

I wanted an intuitive point and shoot camera and having an optical viewfinder was a definite "must have" for me - the image stabilization was also a huge selling point. I'm truly impressed with this camera - it does everything that I want so well - the camera is just the right size and I love the charcoal/grey color. If the rechargeable batteries run down I can just use ordinary AA batteries that are available almost anywhere - I recommend this camera for anyone looking for an entry level point and shoot camera.

First, let me tell you I like this camera and but I'm sending it back to Amazon. I was looking for a light, simple automatic p&s that I could stick in my pocket and take with me into the field where I record evidence of animal activity. The camera I need has to have AA batteries for power (there are no rechargers in the field and a $35 spare battery is no fun for me) and it's easier to pack a couple of spare AAs in my pocket. The SX-160 seemed to be the one!Comparing it to other small point and shoot cameras the problem is that it's just a little too bulky. It weighs in at 11 ounces (the A1100 is 7 ounces) and the lens barrel/back gives it a depth of about 1.75 inches. This is not a pocket camera. It is sort of intermediate to a digital SLR and a pocket point & shoot. All that being said, here what's good about this camera:The pictures are very good. When testing, I never failed to take at least an acceptable photo.The camera can be set to do ISO tracking, making it easier pick a detail to focus on.You can see what the final photo will actually look like with `exposure live view'There is a host of settings and special effectsLag time between shots is very short (except when using the flash)32x optical zoom and 64x(!) digital zoomHere's what what the problems are:The flash is not wholly automatic. If you need a flash, a message pops up on the screen telling you to pop up the flashThe flash has a long recharge time.It eats batteries quicker than other cameras in this class.It's not a pocket camera. It won't fit in a shirt pocket and is too bulky for a jacket pocket.It really is a pretty good camera but I will settle for the newer Canon A1400.

I'll write a longer review later, but I wanted to share my first impressions of the new Canon Powershot S120 after some initial use.This camera rocks. Many DEFINITE improvements over my previous Canon S95 from 2 years ago. Speed to turn on, speed to focus, speed to snap a photo, speed to recover and snap the next photo, etc. are AMAZING. Right out of the box these are the fundamental features that are most important and noticeable in my opinion, and they are substantially better than previous models. Finally, you can shoot a photo and IMMEDIATELY shoot the next photo. Of course it doesn't hurt that the SD cards are faster now as well. No point fooling around with cheap SD cards. I bought a SanDisk Extreme PRO 32 Gb (95 MB/s up and down) SD card, so I'm sure this helps.I notice the lens in this camera allows it to take non-flash photos in much darker conditions, so the flash does NOT automatically pop up all the time like the old one used to. The HD video is great, and the focus adjusts appropriately as you zoom in and out. Haven't tried the WiFi file transfers yet, but this feature should be slick.NOW for the only downside I've noticed so far. BATTERY LIFE IS ABYSMAL. I haven't properly benchmarked it yet, but off the top of my head after only 40 or 50 photos (at most) the first charge was done. I couldn't believe it when I looked at the battery indicator after 20 photos and maybe a 30 second video and it was already showing 50%. That's something like 1/4 of the power I had available on the old S95. WOW.

I bought this camera for a trip to Seoul, and wanted something more powerful than my cell phone camera or a normal point and shoot. This camera performed admirably for every scene I could throw at it, including low light shots. I am not a professional photographer or reviewer, so I will leave you to Google for good reviews, which there are a few. I will only comment from the point of view of a normal user.Image quality is, as stated above, excellent. I took some beautiful images with this, which my friends remarked were near professional quality.Build quality seems extremely good. Its a solid little camera with very little plastic used. Its just about the perfect weight, and the size is perfect. Small enough to comfortably fit in your pocket, without being too small to be comfortable in use.The LCD screen is beautiful. And if you need a better view, you can connect it to your tablet or smartphone via the WiFi connection, which worked very well. The Canon CW app for iOS 7 worked very well and never let me down. It even allows to attach location data from your smartphones GPS.The only drawbacks: NO PANORAMA MODE. Don't look for it. Its not there. Big shame, I could certainly have used it to great effect where I was. I had to fall back to my iPhone 5 for that function. Also the battery life is mediocre. Plan to get spare battery to keep around if you are gonna see heavy use. I nearly ran out of juice one day, and you can't charge it via USB while its in the camera, this would at least have let me juice it back up with my travel charger.I am keeping this a five star review because the pros outweigh the cons heavily, but this is more of a four-and-a-half star product.

Not even my local Canon dealer had a replacement lens cap fir nt SX10IS in stock. They told me to call Canon U.S.A. and cautioned me that even they may not have stock. Glad I found this replacement on Amazon. If Canon had provided a lens cap with a leash strap I wouldn't have lost it in the first place. The OEM just popped off too easily.

Very pleased with the camera. It takes really nice pictures and videos. The battery life is very, very short, but I knew that when I ordered it and batteries vs. recharge cameras is the reason I purchased the SX160 IS. Using a rechargeable camera for the past couple of years, I'd often find myself with the battery power depleted; no place to recharge it; winding up using my cell phone camera for the remainder of our day. The Canon PowerShop SX160 IS solved the problem, since I can very easily pack extra batteries in the case and continue with a working camera for the rest of the day. Again, battery life is extremely short on this camera *therefore, only 4 star review), but the trade-off was worth it for me. Other things I found nice on this camera were the various settings, which are easy to use and provides for good pictures in many different types of lighting/scenes. Also, the pop-up flash device is nice, since there is no question on whether or not the flash has been set when needed. All-in-all, very pleased with the camera. Also, the service was good. The camera was received very quickly after purchase and packaging was new and intact.

At this price point this adaptor is a load and a half of fun. It is well milled and fits tightly. I wouldn't say overly tightly as other reviews but a comfortable snugness, something I want in my lens thread/attachment. Be careful of course, attach the adapter to lens first then attach the new lens fixture (with adapter) to your Nex. That seems to be the going advice.
Otherwise works great, proper price, nice matte black finish, seems like it will last indefinitely. It does increase the focal length by 27-28mm since it's basically an extension - moving the focusing elements of the lens farther from the focal plane (CMOS in the camera). Picture sharpness/quality/bokeh is wonderful, unaffected by the extension, you just get a smaller crop. So your legacy MD 50's will turn into near 80's and your 28mm will be a 56mm. On the other hand my Macro 28-85 became a brilliant beast with the added extension. Good times. Your MC 58mm might just turn into the famous 85mm of the same generation and you won't have to spend $400 on a real 85mm. I don't know, just saying.. Money well spent here. Legacy Minolta lovers rejoice! Thank you so much, Cheers!
