So will have to hunt for a quicker recovering camera.
On the positive side, the camera's face detection is excellent; the flesh tones are very real; the camera is very compact in size, and uses standard AA batteries. The preview LCD is large, and there is also an optical viewfinder with tracking zoom. The automatic lens cover works great. I'm sure there are worse cameras in this price range, but I really expected more from Canon.
Bottom line: if you want something cheap, get a used Nikon coolpix. If you really want a Canon, save your money and get a Powershot G10 for $350. That is a superior camera.
My other problem is that it eats through batteries like there's no tomorrow. About every 10 pictures or 1 video its demanding fresh batteries and it takes alot longer to get to where it can take a picture. Not great when I want to capture scrapbook-able moments with my 3 young'uns. I'm missing alot. In the grand scheme of things, I really dislike this camera. It has too many features I'll never use because I'm too busy being frustrated with the features I DO use.
Here's my opinion of the top-selling "A" series cameras:
7TH PLACE: Featuring Canon's acclaimed Digic III processor, the 2007-model A560 includes the company's face-detection metering system and a decent red-eye removal. It's a nice camera, but a better value is the new A470 (see below). $150 list.
6TH PLACE: The A570IS is the same camera as the A560 but with optical image stabilization and the ability to shoot manually. $200 list.
5TH PLACE: You can do a lot with the sweet little A630. It's a 2006 model, but has a flip-out LCD panel and lots of manual controls. The shots I've seen from this model look great. Keep your ISO under 800 and you won't get any noise. $350 list. (Canon offers a 2007 version of this camera that I haven't had much experience with yet, the A650 IS. It also lists for $350.)
4TH PLACE: The 2008-model A580 is an A590IS (see 1st Place, below) without image stabilization and with semi-automatic instead of manual controls. $150 list.
3RD PLACE: The fully-loaded A720 IS has all the toys, including a 6x zoom (35mm film equivalent of 35-210mm), image stabilization, adjustable flash power and optional second-curtain flash. This last feature means you can make the flash fire at the end of a long exposure, instead of the beginning, so moving subjects streak into focus instead of out. A 2007 model. $200 list.
2ND PLACE: The 2008 entry-level A470 (the camera on this page) is great for kids or anyone just looking for a good basic camera. But frankly, it's better than basic. It includes Canon's face detection technology and has a zoom lens, 14 shooting modes and the ability to set exposure compensation, ISO and white balance manually. Plus it looks great with the color inserts. Everyone with this little camera always seems to be having fun. $130 list.
1ST PLACE: The A590IS is the A580 (see 4th Place, above) with image stabilization and with the option of full manual controls. For an extra $30 those features are well worth it. I bought this model for myself. $180 list.
I paid $235 at BuyDig so I advertised it for $197 on Amazon Market Place. It sold immediately!
I sent the camera to the buyer and after I sent it, he wanted to cancel and get his money back knowing it had to be sent within 2 days..
Fine I told him, as soon the camera is returned , I will credit you account. I had insured it for $200 and had a tracking number.
The Post Office says the camera was delivered, but Amazon favored the guy who got the camera for free because he put it in dispute with his credit card company. Therefore, I lost a camera, spent many hours sending proof from the Post Office and explaining the problem to Amazon. Post office wouldn't pay for a lost package as they say it was delivered. I was out $235 plus $13.50 in postage and insurance plus trips to the postoffice, telephone calls with Amazon, emails, etc...you get the picture!
Be very careful when selling your expensive cameras on Amazon.
I have since been told these people( crooks, thieves, con-artist) buy the Canons and Nikons under $200 on Market Place which are quick for them to sell. They get free products from us, take them out of the country to sell or at the weekly flea markets.
Beware!.
Flash is a bit weak.
Ease of use makes up for any short comings.
I am confident enough in its durability, I hand it to the kids to go shoot what they want with it. They come back with some pretty amazing photos of what they find interesting.
Would recomend it.
Overall, the camera is a bit of a disappointment, and I think I take better pictures with better contrast with the sd 1000, especially in low light situations.
you really need a tripod with the zoom at maximum power or with low light, or most of your pictures will be blurred, I should have spent a little more and bought a digital slr, but I will keep this camera, it is versatile enough, has a lot of features and is easier to carry around than a SLR with its different lenses.
Anyhow, I have no complaints. The key is to use those AA Lithium 8x Energizer batteries. I got the twenty dollar underwater bag and shot 1500 pictures underwater without having to change the battery once.
The camera is light for what it does and very convenient. I like the variable angle viewing for odd angle shots as close to the ground and the electronic viewfinder for bright situations. The electronic viewfinder is best for telephoto use as you can hold the camera steadier. The image stabilizer works all the way out to the 560mm equivalent but I recommend taking several pictures just in case. I like the fact that I don't have to carry extension tubes for close ups. The camera has too many other useful features to mention here. I have used it for over a month now and feel I got more than my moneys worth.
I am depriving it of one star because of one inept design decision - albeit one that the user easily can remedy.
As designed, the camera cannot take filters which would be a serious defect in a camera of this class. My guess is that some marketing person did not want the SX10 to compete with Canon's more expensive SLR's, a marketing strategy that has been tried, unsuccessfully, by other companies in the past.
The fix is easy. The SX10 comes with a sunshade that attaches to a fixture built onto the barrel. Lensmate sells a well-made ring which uses that fixture and which holds 58mm screw-in filters. Of course, while it is attached one cannot use the sunshade, but for about $7 one can buy a screw-in sunshade that works just as well and that can be used in conjunction with the filters.
Every Canon I've owned produces superior photos with each generation. I prefer to point, shoot and produce Ansel Adams quality photos but I know that doesn't happen all that often. But the photos from my last trip were just astounding and I had had no time to experiment with the camera.
My only comment is that shooting in lower light conditions, the angle of the camera can really make a difference in the colors picked up by the sensors. Since it is a visual thing, you are in control of the outcome.
By far the most user friendly Canon I've owned.
The camera itself is a joy to use. Great menus, easy to use, even in manual mode, and my smaller hands don't make this the ergonomic nightmare that tech critics are panning the camera work. There are a few things that could be changed, the shutter button could be placed maybe someplace else (not really sure where though so maybe it is in the best spot) but I've gotten used to it and it take pictures pretty well with it. The auto focus speed isn't terrible as others have noted unless your at full max zoom (and at 10x I can forgive a bit of auto focus speed issues). The 16:9 aspect photos are very clear, I hear the professionals talk about excessive noise in low light and at high ISO, but I haven't seen it so far with mine, but I'm also not a trained photographer nor do I have a trained eye for that. It takes photos, they're clear and in focus, the colors are accurate, that's really all i can ask for. In indoor lighting it is a little more difficult to take good photos, but it is possible. Outdoors though there are no issues whatsoever, it's just a fun point and shoot 7 megapixel beauty that I'm glad I own now.
Video is another story though. At 1280x720 30fps, the video is good in bright conditions. In medium indoor lighting or less, the video becomes very very grainy. Not surprising maybe, but a little disappointing. It's obvious from the LCD that the video is going to be grainy, and on my HDTV or on the computer, it looks VHS like grainy, the quality just isn't there. The resolution might be there, but things although in focus, look like upscaled SDTV or worse. Outdoor video shooting is similar to the photo quality, everything works great. It looks great on the HDTV. But indoor video is very grainy unless you have very well lit conditions. At the price I guess you shouldn't expect a product to compete with HDV camcorders though. And HDV camcorders don't do 7 MP stills.
Some people have complained about the MJPEG format for video. With an 8 GB SDHC card, you get get 27 minutes of shooting time. And bigger SDHC cards will exist in the future. MJPEG may not be the most advanced codec like AVC is, but it certainly is still useable and great to edit movies with and older computers can watch MJPEG with little computing power. On my old Mac, the H.264 files I converted the MJPEG films from choke my computer at full resolution.
One big flaw I find is that in OS X, when you plug in the camera, it does not mount the SDHC card, but rather iPhoto or Image Capture just grabs the images and downloads them. But there's no way to reverse the process without a dedicated SDHC card reader. I believe that holds true for many Canon models though, not just the TX1. Again annoying, but there are work arounds.
Overall I'm still giddy about my purchase. I love the product. It would have been a 5 if it had better indoor / low light performance. Other than that, this is a great product, and hopefully will only get better with the next version (please Canon keep updating this product).
It also takes nice crisp photos of the family, red eye doesn't seem to be much of a problem, and the images all look really good - even when I was just taking practice snapshots of my husband on the computer, kids giving me silly looks, etc.
My aunts, both artists and photographers, both have this camera as well and highly recommended it to me. One aunt pointed out how easy it is to use the buttons - they are well placed on the camera. Consumer reports also had good things to say about the Powershot.
The trick new features like evaluative color balance and the histogram-in-viewfinder are easy and intuitive to use, but it's that incredible lens that really makes the package. It's not perfect - any lens that's so compact has to have some chromatic aberration: there's purple fringing visible in high-contrast areas of the images. It all depends on how closely you look, and how picky you are. But it's a fair trade, considering that the long lens allows me to capture images that I couldn't even consider with the average DSLR. Not to mention that the size, weight, and cost of DSLR's means that they stay home on most casual outings.
Go ahead and price a stabilized 500mm lens for your SLR, and after you recover from fainting, you'll appreciate how much this little guy offers for the price. Amazingly, I paid exactly the same for my new SX10 IS that I did for my S2 IS several years ago.
Downsides: I miss the time-lapse feature, or "Intervalometer." The package is heavier than my old S2 IS. And there's that fringing visible in outdoor shots.
Upsides: 20X, low price, fast & intuitive controls, and zero shutter lag. It's also nice to use SD cards and AA batteries.
I am still learning how to use this camera. It is taking a while, because I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old, but I use the camera all the time.
All of the pictures, if viewed at 100% of their size, had blurred or softened edges on picture frames, edges of houses, lamp shades, etc. The smaller I made the picture, the less noticeable it became but it still was not clear. I don't know if this is what is referred to as noise but I do not want to have to adjust the sharpness of every picture I take with editing software.
Based on so many good reviews, I began to think that I must have gotten a defective camera and returned it to the chain store in my home location. I purchased another A590IS from Amazon. In the mean time, I read all the instructions for the different settings so that I would understand how to use it. I did not want the poorness of pictures to be operator error.
When the new camera arrived, I took comparison pictures. I had the same results. The colors are good but the sharpness is not there. I took identical shots with my old HP and with the new Canon. The Canon has good color and the pictures are larger but the definition and quality of the image is just not there.
THIS CAMERA IS AMAZING. THE MACRO PHOTOS WERE CLEAR AND SHARP. THE 20X ZOOM WAS A WOW!!! THE VIDEO IS TERRIFIC TOO.
I KNOW I AM GOING TO ENJOY THE FREEDOM OF CLOSEUP AND ZOOM WITHOUT CHANGING LENSES.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A CAMERA WITH ALL THE CONTROLS OF A DSLR WITHOUT THE HASSLE OF CARRYING EXTRA LENSES THEN THIS IS THE CAMERA FOR YOU.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE ALMOST LOST THE LENS CAP JUST ADD A CAP KEEPER AND THIS WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
THIS IS A GREAT BUY FOR THE MONEY AND YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.
1. It had an excruciatingly long shutter lag compared to my "old" kodak easy share. I couldn't ever get off shots in time to catch my 1 year old doing something cute. And, if she moved...like all kids do...the shots came out blurry. I even had it on the setting for kids and pets. Also I had the SDHC card in it.
2. No matter what I did (yes, I read the manual) I kept getting photos that looked very poorly focused. Not even as crisp as my 4 megapixel.
3. With the flash on, people were washed out, with it off, they were in dark shadows. There seemed no happy medium.
4. The "face finder" feature made getting a shot off take too long.
5. The color in photos seemed off...not natural.
6. The menus just were not all that easy to follow or intuitive, at least to me, from other cameras I have used in the past.
I have been taking photos for 25 years and am used to getting really great shots. That just didn't happen with this camera. It was pretty frustrating. Maybe it is great for things that don't move, like flowers, but for anyone wanting to catch their kids before the moment is gone, maybe this camera is not for you.
I am heartbroken that after only 3 years of ownership, it is broken beyond repair. I did initially have problems with the lens cover not closing as other reviewers did, but usually if I took the battery out and charged it and then returned it the cover would close. Recently I accidentally leaned on it in my backpack. It was in a protective camera case, but the pressure of my back against my backpack broke the display screen. I took it to a repair shop and was told that to repair it would cost about $20 less than buying a new camera on Amazon. I am very dissapointed that it seems that these cameras are so throw away. Why can't canon control parts costs so that repairs can be made and cameras salvaged. Anyways, I am going to add to the landfill situation and toss my camera and buy a new one. I want a canon, but with the parts situation and lack of repair facilities I may have to look at another brand. Too bad.
Last night, it was knocked from my hands - lens extended - and fell down a flight of brick steps. It returned a lens error message to me, and wouldn't turn on. Today, a friend of mine popped the lens back into place (it had apparently bent at an unhealthy angle), and it's back to working like it did on Christmas Day.
In short, I love this camera. My only recommendation would be to make sure you get good batteries, as mine seems to have slowly lost its edge with battery life over time. But that aside, this wonderful camera seems to be nearly indestructible, and takes great pictures to boot. Cannon has won a lifetime customer.
Cons: 1) After 5 months, a tiny plastic piece broke off inside the battery door and it won't stay closed (must send camera to Canon), 2) No lens cap tether, 3) Can't seem to find a polarizing filter for it, possibly because this is not an SLR camera with live viewfinder?, and 5) Does not shoot in RAW format.
I would still rate this camera best in its class, absolutely. The next step would be a much more expensive DSLR.
it really is amazing what $120 can buy you these days. photography enthusiasts on a budget will love the features. the camera has fully manual capability and a really nice layout and menu design. it shows you the shutter and aperture settings its using when you depress the shutter. in program mode you can just shoot, or you can adjust exposure, ISO, white balance, flash exposure as you like. its clearly produced by a company thats always refining its products to be more flexible without being unecessarily complicated.
the camera is well designed and responsive. if it could only shoot raw and had live histogram id give it an A+ for features.
the bad news is its still a cheap camera. the sensor is small and fairly noisy. frankly im a bit disappointed in that regard. the pictures look good in general terms but when you zoom in to 100% they are noisy and compressed looking in general, with high ISO pictures being really bad (mind you i usually shoot RAW images with a larger camera).
the only consolation is knowing that other cameras at this price are the same if not worse. but you really dont want to shoot in low light with this thing, it looks like a damn snowstorm.
if your camera budget is $150, i absolutely recommend this camera. if image quality is important and you can spend more, its may be worth it to do so... but you may have to spend considerably more to see any improvement.
I used a Fujica AX-3 35mm outfit for years but did not want the hastle of carrying around numerous lenses etc... This camera allows me to play in manual mode, and my wife to snap away in auto and both receive great results. My sunpack flash even works on the hot shoe if I need some extra umph in low light.
Rechargable AA battereis last about 200 shots or more and the display may be turned off to increase this. However the display does not seem to draw so much power that this is worth doing. The AA battereis make this camera larger than some other Canons, but I prefer the AAs due to their general availabity when on vacation. One set of lithium batteries may be used to fill an 8gig card without replacement.
The graphite fiber plastic body is more robust than the metal body used in the A570ISs that I also have that tends to show dents from heavy use.
The only feature that could be improved upon with this camera is the focal length of the zoom lens. I would also recommed the SX110 that I purchased for its 10x zoom lens.
The video fuction of this camera is also great, and better than video cameras in that it isa full 640x480 at 30 frames per second. Normal video cameras are not as good for viewing on the computer due to "interlacing" that prevents fozen images from being sharp.
The Canon A590IS is a very good value.
I have shot almost 900 pictures in the four weeks I've had the SX10, but am still learning many of its controls and capabilities. I've discarded about 5% of the shot I've taken due mainly to poor exposure or focus, but have learned how to aim the focusing points and exposure metering properly to eliminate those problems.
My previous cameras were: Nikon FM2, Canon RebelG (35mm), Canon A70, Canon A75, and Canon SD600. The SX10 reminds me of the RebelG in terms of flexibility and ease of use.
I like Canon's use of AA batteries and SDHC memory cards, both of which are inexpensive and readily available. I was able to get a pair of Sandisk 8gb Extreme II and 3 Sandisk 4gb Extreme III SDHC cards for under $25 each during Black Friday sales, which should be more than sufficient for any future trips I take.
I would strongly recommend this camera to anyone looking for a feature-packed point & shoot that is willing to sacrifice camera size for capability.
It also has a range of semi and fully automatic settings which the beginner can use constantly and still get top class results. Remember, the camera features the IS (image stabilisation) system, and Canon's is widely acclaimed to be the best. (Helps to prevent blur in shots where a slower shutter speed, and/or telephoto is being used). This will buy you approx two stops when handholding the camera - in other words, if you are using 1/125th second to shoot, the system will produce an image equating to use of 1/500th (125 - 250 - 500, two stops).
I do a lot of macro and landscape work, often tripod mounted, so the Aperture priority mode is my usual favourite - I can control depth of field (what is in focus, and what is not, along a line drawn from the lens to the very background of the photograph - the smaller the aperture, the more that is in sharp focus, but sometimes you want to isolate a subject from it's background by using a large aperture, throwing everything out of focus, apart from the subject).
This camera is my first serious digital camera, and as a pre existing user of a Canon A1 35mm camera for many years, this one does everything my A1 could, and also has a wonderful ten times optical zoom, nine megapixels, and a large bright 3" LCD monitor, coupled with a very easy menu system (takes a little learning, like all such cameras).
I can't wait to see what the next new model features are - but this one produces great photographs, and is definitely as professional as you are - good job Canon, thank you!
Without a viewfinder some brighter lighting conditions make it harder to see what you are shooting but more frequently it is not a problem. The telephoto lens is great.
Use of a padded case would be wise to protect the viewscreen during periods of non use.
The software for transfer to your computer is automatic and relatively quick.
The camera has a much better battery life than my previous Canon. I hope it will continue to be so.
My only complaint like everyone states is that it really uses the batteries. The batteries that came with the camera seemed to last a while but once those ran out and I switched to my rechargeables, it seems like I have to replace the batteries after every picture session. I always keep extra charged batteries with me but I don't remember going through them so quickly with the A70. Overall though I am willing to sacrifice a low battery life with high quality, easy to take pictures.
I would recommend this camera to everyone I know. I'd suggest you get a PSC-100 case for it along with a tripod. The case doesn't have any pockets but that keeps the sleek advantage of the camera alive.
The only con I can think of is the medium-low battery life due to the really large LCD screen, which is awesome btw. Just buy a couple of pairs of extra rechargeable batteries and you're good to go!
I have not had a canon camera before, but I am now comfortable around most of the menu and settings. However I know there is so much more available, but I havn't had the time to go through the massive elctronic user guide.
The worst thing I've had from this camera is the high ISO photos. There is definatly more noise than I expected.
I think this is the best camera on the market in its class and most of all in PRICE .
The only disadvantage i see in it its the fact that it works on 4 AA batteries wich you can solve with buying an rechargable batteries kit.
A must have
