You also can get amazing close up group shots with the 28mm wide angle built in. All I can say is I will never ever buy a camera without that wide angle again. It is perfect.
It is a bit bulky but worth it for the crispy zoomed pictures you get. And you get use to the bulk and the grip and I have small hands so no problem. It is probably bigger than you are use to, this is not ELPH. But with the 20x...
It runs on double AA's but if you get some nice rechargeable they should last you long while. I was on a recent trip in Peru and used some sanyo batteries and they lasted for 3 days of continuous picture taking.
the one annoying thing is no lens cap tether! but you can buy one for a buck and do that yourself.
one of the best things is the flip out LCD it helps you take really hard to angle shots.
I found the wheel a little annoying and I had to use the book a lot when I was trying to figure other controls in the beginning, but if you want to just up and go with the camera you use the auto functions and get great pictures.
So picture takers who want ZOOM take this camera and go!!!!!
This is a great camera for a budding photographer to test his skills before jumping on to a SLR. After one gets a good grasp of the controls, the photos come out stunning.
One problem is that the time between shots is a bit high, and I have missed out some great moments because of this. Also the compartment for the battery and the SD card could have been improved upon
Zoom okay, though it IS only 3.7 which isn't much. But what do you expect from an compact!? The macro on the other hand is very good. Took some excellent images of butterflies in the Natural History museum without flash.
Quite cheap for what you get as new models are being released. You will need a seperate SD card as the 32Meg one which comes with it takes about four images on hi res.
It's got quite a few features and you can get good results. It's even got some smart face recognition software if you're out partying and want to take some pictures for facebook.
The lag time between pressing button and taking image is minimal as it's got a decent processor in it like all new Canon compacts. Tons of other features too which I've used and they're pretty good. You won't get the full diversity of an SLR, but you will be spoilt for choice.
Highly recommend this if travelling or going out and want to take some quick snaps.
I had chosen this camera because it is one of the few with a viewfinder, has AA battery support, and SDHC card support - I own many rechargeable AAs and SDHC cards that I use in my Pentax K200D DSLR, my primary camera. I was looking for a secondary lighter camera. The A590IS isn't it, unfortunately.
Much older cameras with fewer megapixels, like my Olympus C3030Z, or Nikon Coolpix L1, never had this kind of problem.
The A590IS is a prime example of Canon trying to pack too many megapixels into a tiny sensor.
The only reason I kept this camera is that I bought it with 2 printers that were free after rebate and worth $100 each. If it weren't for them, I would have returned this camera too.
I still do not know what else to buy as a replacement, since good P&S options with viewfinders seem to be very limited these days.
I purchased this product to upgrade from a simple Point and Shoot. I read about the comparisons between this and another camera in the same range; however, if you are adjusting from a beginner point and shoot to not exactly a DSLR, this IS the camera for you.
I ordered this for Thanksgiving, and read a quick lesson in the book about how to get some of the features running. Not a single shot has disappointed me. Granted, I am not a professional camera person, nor do I intend on going into details about pixels.
All I wanted to know is: Does it produce good images? Answer: For Sure! Does it produce good PRINTED images? Answer: I printed 8x10, 5x7, and 4x6 and all of them come out excellent.
I have an niece that is only 18 months (just walking) and this camera took phenomenal pictures of her. I have had this camera a little over 2 weeks and it has yet to disappoint me. It is great to find a good camera and that has the LCD screen that rotates!
It comes Highly recommended
I've read reviews that said it eats batteries, but in my experience, that's only if you're constantly using the flash. If your setting are right, you don't need the flash on most the time, unless most of your shooting is done in low/dark light. Frankly, i rarely use the flash unless i'm in that kind of light setting and my pictures look better for it.
I would NOT recommend this camera for the first time, or casual picture-taker. This camera is best suited for someone who has a growing interest in taking better pictures because while you're learning to use the more advanced features (which takes time and practice) you can still take great shots in the "auto" setting.
THREE NEGATIVES:
1. It's somewhat heavy (which i don't mind but you might).
2. Also, when you DO use the flash, the viewing delay time is pretty significant. What I mean is as soon as you take a picture with the flash on you will have to wait atleast four seconds to take another picture.
3. There is no eye viewer (i'm sure that's not the correct term). What i mean is - you can only view your subject on the viewing screen, not by peeking through the eye hole that most cameras have.
This camera is pretty easy to cary around and uses AA batteries that you can purchase anywhere.
OK, so it can't be ALL positive, right? Well, if I must pick a few things I don't like, one would be the function selector wheel - it's sometimes hard to turn it without pushing it's buttons too, if that makes any sense. I've resolved that issue by just not using the wheel, but just using it as a button. The fact that it only has 2 AA batts is nice for weight, but not so nice for longevity. I did experience a couple of blurry action shots of people sledding down a hill, but most were fine...I think it was just user error. That's about it for negatives.
Overall, my experience with this camera has been beyond expectation. For portability, ease of use, number of features, quality of lens and images, it is just what I wanted. Happy birthday to me.
Canon is not owing up to the fact that they have a problem here.
EDIT on 12/21/11 In addition, camera will not hold date & time. Yes, I replaced that battery twice and it still looses date & time.
I see current reviews complaining about the same battery problem so the problem has not been fixed. Need to buy a new camera but it wont be a canon.
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.
I sent it for a repair, requested them just to replace the cover. But when I got an email from them, they asked me to pay 99 dollars for just that!?! With that amount I will be better off buy new camera. DUH!
I called them about my warranty, etc, they think I dropped camera but I didn't. I keep it in my camera bag and in my purse all the time. It's new, in great care. They tried to "get away with it" so I decline the repair but they tried to offer me 20 percent off but I refused, they offer more off until they offter 50 percent off... in my mind, I thought why trying to offer me that than do the honest answer... I did contact them before but they said none about flat rate. They said "Okay you have warranty then send it to us for repair."
I don't think it's fair to me. Just that dishonest trick they pulled on me. So be bewared of them.
Boy am I glad I gave them a try. I have yet to find anything wrong other than no lens cap tether (but it clips onto the strap so I'm not crying or anything yet). Even at the far end of the zoom (yea, even in the digital zoom) the pictures are great. It's hard to keep a subject in frame in the high end of digital zoom unless you can keep the camera REALLY still- the image stabilization keeps adjusting for your slightest twitch, but that was expected. I stumbled on great subjects on my first trip out with it (heron chicks, kingfisher in midair) so that probably helped. I can even take better self-portraits since the rear screen revolves out and around so you can check your framing while being in front of the camera!
Something tells me I'll have this one for as long as it'll have me. Good job, Canon!
The zoom is great, brings what I want closer without losing any detail. In normal setting, I've taken indoor pictures of the grandchildren and my husband and they are perfect. Color is very good. The one thing I would really like to have on this camera is image stabilization.
Looking now to getting either the new Kodak Zi6 pocket camcorder or the RCA small wonder EZ201 so I can capture pix of my great grandchildren doing their thing.
I picked this camera because it has a few features I hadn't found in other cheaper point and shoot cameras. In manual mode it has an infinity focus mode, which I haven't seen anywhere. This is excellent for cloud photos, as my other camera could almost never focus on them, but this camera lacks a manual focus, so I wasn't completely sure it would work. The Infinity Focus completely solved that problem.
It's other main selling point is an ability for "Super Macro", ie focusing on objects almost touching the lens. It is also found in Manual Mode. My S3 can do that, but I didn't think I would find a point and shoot with that capability. Especially since I've played with some of the more expensive Canon powershots and they DIDN'T have the capability. It makes up for the measly 3.4 optical zoom.
One feature I haven't played with yet is long shutter, also in the manual settings, reached by pressing menu in the Exposure area of the Manual settings. It looks like it can go up to 5 seconds or so. Another feature I didn't expect on a camera without Manual Aperture or Shutter Speed adjustments.
The lack of a viewfinder is a bit irritating, and noticeably a problem in direct sunlight, but the focus modes more than made up for it for me.
It does have a big lag for flash pics, even with NiMH batteries. You will HAVE to buy another memory card as at high quality it can take barely 10 pics on the included one.
For the photo nut who wants special effects, it'll take some doing: the F stop and the shutterspeed are automatic. It suits nme fine because I want to take pics, not spend all day fiddling with the cameras options. It does take great pics, no question! I'm quite pleased with it!!!
If I had to make a less than positive comment, it's that the 186 page manual is in PDF format; that means iit is in the Canon disk, not a printed manual! It's a bugger to print if you're not good at printing such PDF documents using both sides of the paper. On the computer screen, the manual is quite big and bright. Also if your sharp with computers, you can download the manual to your memory card and read the manual from the camera screen, while you're away from home and your PC!. All in all, it's not a camera for the very very photographically involved; but, rather, if you take lots and lots of pics of home, family, vacations, etc, you'll love the A470 Canon Powershot
Pros:
1. 20X optical super-zoom with IS and USM: its focal length (5-100mm) covers most of the ranges practically needed; IS & USM are definitely positive additions;
2. Lots of manual options available. If you really like digital photography, then you know what I mean. Like the AEB feature, allows you to compose your own HDR photo, etc.
3. Design (including its weight): The design is just right, not too high profile, not too humble. Hear some complaints about the weight, but for me that is part of "quality". It is still much lighter and portable than a SLR, isn't it.
4. More...
Coms:
Only some small things I dislike: lens cap --- they should use a small string hooking up with the body; Neck string: don't use it. Material of the string is kind of rough, it will bother you big time while hold the camera.
Overall, if you have limited budget and still want a decent (not just an entry level), rich featured with more manual options digital camera, go for SX10 IS!
Other than that the A1000IS is an amazing little cam. The picture quality is bright and clear. It is easy to use, and it retains the same function controls as previous A series cameras. And best of all, it's a Canon. I will never go with any other brand as long as Canon continues to make cameras.
I would not hesitate to recommend it to others. The good points about the camera are:
Excellent pictures with "ease mode" especially outdoor and not bad for indoor under normal lighting. A bit noisy for indoor when the lighting is dim, better use the flash to compensate.
If you have time, the manual controls are great and let you create your own effects. The Canon Browser record all the camera parameters for each photo which is great for budding photograher. Despite some review's caution against poor battery life, I was pleased with what I can get from a pair of 2650 mAH NiMH rechargables, I used it for over 200 photos before feeling the need recharging.
The only down side for the camera, is its physical size, it's not a camera you can put in your shirt pocket. The original Canon leather case is great, you can wear it in your belt.
Overall, I am extremely pleased with my purchase.
Caveat: The camera uses up alkaline batteries pretty quickly so I recommend 2 sets of rechargeable AA batteries. I had good luck with the Sony 2500 mAH rechargeable batteries which lasted 3-5 days depending on use. (Your mileage may vary from mine!)
When the camera finally arrived, I was surprised at the bulk and heft of it. Sure, it's still highly compact, but for someone used to the SD300 and SD600, this is a step backwards in portability. It makes my pockets kinda bulge. Right off the bat, strike one: my primary use case for the camera was to keep it in my pocket all the time. Once I tried it though, I realized that it'd have to go in a bag most of the time.
Strike two: it's kinda awkward to hold. I have very large hands, so I rarely have a problem with any camera. I'm not sure if others would have the same experience, but it's worth noting, since I've always been comfortable with various other Canons, Nikons, and Pentaxes.
Finally, my main criticism, Strike 3: Picture Quality. I wasn't happy with either the stills or the video. With the stills, I had trouble with the focus system. The face-tracking system seems useful at first, but when I viewed the photos on my computer, the focus never seemed quite right. Even when I switched to a more conventional focus mode, the picture quality just wasn't as satisfying as that of the SD600, an older and cheaper model.
Video quality was, for me, the last straw. Sure, it may be technically HD, but for me, HD promises more than just resolution. When I think HD, I think sharp, clear, and vibrant. The video produced by the TX1 is high-resolution, it is wide-screen at 16x9 - but it's not really HD. The video picture is blotchy and fuzzy, and really no better than that, again of a much cheaper SD series camera. It's nice that it's wide, the video is definitely much better proportioned for today's wide-screen televisions, but it's not much of an advance beyond that, and it certainly isn't really HD.
Also worth noting is that the video files produced by the TX-1 are immense, making it fairly inconvenient and/or expensive to use as a video camera. These file sizes certainly aren't justified by the video quality.
To sum up: the TX-1 has an impressive array of features, and had the potential of being a truly groundbreaking device, of finally bringing HD video and stunning stills into a single pocketable device. Unfortunately, however, it doesn't deliver on quality, and it's not as pocketable as its predecessors, which take better stills and video that's nearly as good as the TX-1's.
Ultimately, for me, the TX-1 wasn't satisfying as a still camera or a video camera. I've returned mine; I'm going to stick with my SD600 for now.
I'm still eagerly awaiting the first truly pocketable device which shoots both high-quality stills and video. I'd even be willing to pay more than I did for the TX-1 - maybe that would give it a better chance of succeeding. In the meantime, I've got my eye on the Canon HV10 HD Camcorder to supplement my SD600 and Nikon D80.

Great price!
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.
Never mind the technical specs. The pictures are spectacular. And with a completely customizable manual mode, the possibilities are endless. 7.1mp is sufficient for the non-professional user (95% of consumers). Anything above just creates extra space in your pc and makes you have to crop more.
Reasons to not buy this camera but instead upgrade to the new generations:
-You need to process in RAW
-You need more optical zoom (yes, 4x is quite average)
-You want an SLR or a Digital Rebel
-You want to take landscape or wildlife photographs
-You want to use lots of depth of field tricks
-You do TONS of low light photography and need 800 or more ISO
Otherwise,
for 95% of you out there, if you can get this for around $120, jump on it.
No joke, this A620 camera has been a dedicated workhorse for point and shoot photogs that needs small cameras to do big jobs. Whether in the fields of Mexico or in the grit of Paris and London, this camera takes AMAZING 7.1 mp pictures every time. An old set of 2300nmh AA batteries powers it for about 300 pictures. In good lighting situations, the pictures are crisp and sharp. The Auto setting is fantastic, but the manual settings are impressive. I've had this camera for two years and it hasn't failed, despite being jostled in a cargo pants pocket and being pulled in and out of camera bags. This will not replace an SLR, as those have huge CCDs, twice the light entering the huge lens, etc., but this is definitely a perfect backup for the SLR.
I had previously owned a Canon and was very pleased with it so I ordered this camera. Like my previous Canon it is very user friendly and intuitive. Here are my pros and cons
Pros
Large view finder
Complete and in-depth guide book included with camera
Sharp, clear photos
10x optical is wonderful - you can get great closeups without moving close to subject. Also for portraits you can throw the background out of focus with a long zoom in. (A long optical zoom is one of the most important features to have on your camera - the longer the better.)
Face recognition is quite useful. Allows you to concentrate on the photo you're taking and let the camera take care of the faces being in focus.
Taking a picture in "portrait" size can be viewed full screen in viewfinder if you turn the camera.
Lightweight & easy to hold
Takes AA batteries. Easy to change batteries if they die, unlike lithium.
Very easy to scroll thru photos
User friendly, my kids can even use it with ease
Cons
Need to raise the flash manually to use. (Wasn't too clear at first why flash wouldn't fire but once you realize you need to raise the flash yourself its no problem.)
Seems to go thru batteries quickly. Easy to solve though - just get a recharger.
I had seriously considered an digital SLR but chose this camera instead because it has such large optical zoom & very clear photos . Its also a fraction of the cost and so much easier to carry around with you.
This is just a fabulous camera for the price. I am very happy with it.
After many years of fantastic pictures (as long as the subject was stationary!) my trusty Olympus D40-Zoom died - luckily at the end of a vacation. I spent about 30 hours researching a replacement that would satisfy my goals of (a) compact size, (b) standard AA batteries, (c) full manual controls, (d) outstanding image quality, (e) speed, (f) optical viewfinder.
In my opinion, the Canon A540 fits the bill almost perfectly. It's small enough to fit in a coat pocket or small belt case yet uses 2 AA batteries. Overall processing speed is blazingly fast unless you're taking flash pictures (and then you should expect about 4-5 seconds between flashes). Note that flash time is significantly better with rechargeable NiMh batteries than with standard AAs. And, unlike some other cameras I tried, the speed of the user interface (especially during playback) is very fast.
Picture quality in general is excellent, even in night situations. You have the option of ISO 80 - ISO 800 with the latter being noisy but usable. (Would you rather miss a shot completely or have a little noise? How about the ability to take a picture in low lighting without the flash?) And, you have full manual controls, in addition to the 21 predefined scene types. I'm not sold on the usefullness of the Color Swap and Color Accent modes, but the other modes are well thought out.
Perhaps the biggest surprise was the movie mode, which offers up to 30 fps VGA quality 640x480 continuous shooting up to 1GB per clip, to the maximum size of your SD card. This is still no substitute for a high-quality camcorder, but it's a nice option to have in those situations where you just have the camera. (And note that unlike this camera, most camcorders offer some form of image stabilization.) Note that the movie mode on the A540 is significantly more capable than the lower-megapixel twin A530 (which is limited to 2 minute clips at 15fps).
I was close to getting the Canon A700, which uses the same 6MP sensor and user interface but offers a 6x optical zoom instead of a 4x zoom. In the end, after trying both cameras in the store, I settled on the A540. Why? The A700 is ever-so-slightly larger (about 0.25 inches wider and slightly taller), and the more complicated lens takes longer to startup and to zoom. Maybe it was the lighting, but the noise quality on the A700 seemed higher than the A540, although they use the same sensor. Perhaps this has something to do with the different lenses? Finally, the A700 doesn't offer an underwater case which I'd like to have as an option some day.
In summary, Canon A540 Pros:
- very fast startup and shot-to-shot speed (flash not withstanding)
- excellent and speedy auto-focus even in low light (although the AF assist light can slow this down)
- extremely fast user interface and playback performance, even zooming in on photos
- outstanding photo quality, even in relatively low light (good color balance, noise levels at high ISO are acceptable, almost non-existent chromatic aberation)
- 6 megapixel sensor, 4x optical zoom
- ISO 80 to 800 (800 has noticeable noise but still usable)
- surprisingly usable movie mode (unlike the A530, can record up 30fps of continuous video at 1GB sections up to size of the SD card)
- outstanding user interface: options are well laid out and easy to locate, very well thought-out record and playback options
- full manual controls (shutter priority, appeture priority, full manual)
- custom white balance option in addition to presets
- flash adjusts angle based on wide-telephoto zoom
- well built case, very comfortable grip
- uses SD cards (and takes advantage of high-speed SD)
- uses 2 AA batteries
- unbelieveable battery life (approx 350 shots on 2 rechargeable NiMh AA, with the display on)
- supports optional conversion lenses and underwater case
Cons (to me, all very minor):
- screen while large isn't very high res (85k pixels)
- flash recharge time is acceptable but not great (4 - 5sec between pictures using NiMh batteries)
- preview display blanks while flash recharges
- it's possible to insert the SD card upside down and you don't realize until you try to close the cover (would be easy to break the cover if you force this)
- the markings for the battery orientation are difficult to read
- no RAW image support, but you can select from 3 different compression ratios for image quality
- dubious color accent and color swap modes
This camera will :
1. take high quality pictures (2-3 mb each)
2. support a fat 8 GB SD card
3. priced under $150
4. shoot movies in mpg format with very good clarity
5. remain rugged even after dropping.
The pictures are more than a normal family needs to preserve as memories. They are clear and print worthy. The short movies you can make are absolutely great. Since they are recorded directly in mpg format, one does not have to belabor through encoding which is a norm in all non-disk based camcorders. This is a great feature especially when you do not want to roam around with another piece of video equipment hanging in your shoulder especially when you are going to shoot only small movies (say of 5 minutes duration max). You only need a big 8GB SD card.
I bought this camera followed by a Canon PowerShot A560 and Canon PowerShot A590IS. That is three in a row for my family. All are great cameras.
