Anyway, this camera is heavy and big. It won't fit in your pocket, and you have to be careful handing it to someone else, because if they don't get a good grip it'll fall out of their hand.
I love this camera with a passion. It's:
*Durable. I have an attic bedroom and sat it on my railing, then bumped it down my stairs. It fell 12 feet and bounced. It looked a little banged up, but works 100%. This was about 6 months ago. The shutter now refuses to shut all the way on occasion, and sometimes the videos will appear blurry. That's the only damage, and a stop and start of the recording will fix that.
*High quality video and picture. I'm not a professional photographer, I'm a teenage girl. The appeal for me was that 8 mega pixels sounded really sharp, and i was right.
*The effects are quite flexible, and i loved experimenting with the drastic and subtle changes allowed in the "program" function of the camera. My favorite is probably the portrait setting, although the color swap and color accent are really cool too.
*It should be noted that this camera burns through batteries like c r a z y. I had it for a month and decided it would be best to buy some rechargeable batteries. So i bought 8 AA batteries and a charger from Radioshack. Now i always have another set charged and ready when i've burned through my current set. For this, I don't even consider the short battery life for the camera to be a con.
*Reliable: this camera gives minimal technical difficulty. It's not 100% on picture taking response. You'll have to hold down the button for a few seconds, even without the flash being turned on. I haven't used a camera that didn't behave this way, and there are ways to increase the response speed, but i've never been impressed with it. It's also gotten slower this past year: a sad sign that it might be wearing down.
*the video is SPECTACULAR. I've used camcorders with worse quality. I make instructional piano Youtube videos that require distinct details to be visible, and this camera never lets me down. On occasion, after the drop, i've had to stop and start a video that was too blurry, but the second time comes crystal clear, so this isn't a big deal to me. The camera gives you the option to choose how detailed your videos will be. Less detail=more memory space, as higher quality videos will require more space. But it's 2011, and we all knew that, right?
I always get compliments about the videos i take with it. "Oo, whose camera is this? It's so clear/colorful," things to that effect.
Besides taping my piano videos, I used to use this camera to record myself and my friends at gymnastics meets. This is where the option to edit and freeze-frame on the go is a must. There might be an additional 30 seconds on a video, and a limited memory card means that 30 seconds has gotta go. So "set" button>edit>edit beginning>save, and now you have that much more flexibility in your recordings for the rest of the day. The camera on its default settings allowed me to watch routines frame by frame, and i could see exactly how a trick was executed. Every once in a while, an appendage would be blurry due to exceptionally high speed, but it captures tumbling passes and the vault exercise with ease and accuracy, which goes to show you how detailed the video features are. Again, this is with the default settings, not even the advanced detail.
*Transfer to the computer is easy, but i'm not terribly knowledgeable about how advanced the features can be. I tend to dump everything, name my photos/videos, then format my memory card in the camera. I don't know what all it's capable of in this department. It's not always speedy, but that's because i am transferring large files. The speed is not unreasonable, but this is the only camera i've ever owned, so i can't compare transfer speeds in all fairness.
*I don't print my pictures, but they email just fine, and the high mega pixel count and clarity on-screen shows good promise for beautiful prints.
*This camera allows you to take successive photos, anywhere from 1 to 10 photos snapped automatically with a small delay in between. Great for goofing around. Dunno why else you'd want it, but i use it with my brother when we're bored. We do stop-motion skits ha ha!
*My FAVORITE feature is the wonderful flippy screen! It's not fragile, it's durable just like the rest of this sturdy, chunky camera. The screen allows you to see you taking your own picture. I can place my face where i want in the frame, though it's backwards (move to your left, the camera portrays you going right.). This is especially handy in two ways:
1) Taking pictures with multiple people without a freestanding photographe
I went to get a cheap camera from a well known catalog retailer who I shall not mention for privacy reasons (although you know of course, that I'm talking about Argos,) as I just wanted a very basic camera to take with me to my birthday trip to the zoo.
Long story short, I came home less than an hour later feeling £70 lighter and brimming with all the excitement of a 6 year old on Christmas Eve.
I should also probably point out that I am in no way a responsible buyer. My entire research on this camera was the following;
- I like how Canon cameras look
- I have heard of Canon
- I quickly hit Amazon on my phone and read no more than 2 reviews and decided I'd give it a go!
2 months later and I am still in love with this thing.
I have learned a lot about photography in an effort to understand this, even the most basic of cameras.
To summarize, this camera has magnificent optical zoom, excellent stabilization, nice aesthetics (in my opinion,) very comfortable, enough options to suit most situations, and of course it is a Canon so you know it will be well made.
I merely have a couple of gripes about it. The camera when I bought it came with a pair of duracell batteries, and in my uncontrollable-fiddling with the camera after I had ripped it from its packaging, I'd say it was maybe 1h30 before the battery warning icon popped up on screen. I put it down to being dud batteries and went and bought an 8 pack of Energizer plus batteries (the blue and silver ones) and they also lasted no more than 2 hours of taking pictures.
I began to wonder if it was the camera itself, and so headed to Google where I found that it's one of the cameras' main problems. Still relentless in my quest to get some decent life out of it, I purchased some 2400maH capacity duracell rechargeables and stuck them in it.
Said batteries lasted an entire day of pictures at the zoo, followed by 2-3 days of me following my cat around his various activities trying to get him to strike a pose. I was finally content. I have since spent a few days at Manchester Airport and only had to recharge them once.
My other problem is that I find the images still to be a little noisy in most, if not all situations. That is of course a minor gripe though, as for the price I am very happy.
It's great for everything I can think of if you don't have the money or experience to get a Canon 60D for example, and I heartily recommend to you that you follow suit and spend your lovely pennies on this.
I'm sorry for the length and unhelpfulness of this review, I just felt that I had to share with you the bouncy excitement that this camera still gives me, I am so pleased with it that I am saving up for a DSLR, and I am certain it will be a Canon.
I love the pictures the Cannon SX10IS takes so much that I purchased 2 more newer nicer ones. It is almost impossible for me to take a bad picture with my Cannon SX10IS. The Cannon SX10IS is almost a point and shoot in its simplisticity. I took low light pictures in my home and they still look great. I do not doubt your skills as a photographer so you must have gotten a DAWG as a camera. Of 100 pictures I took with the Cannon SX10IS 70 of pictures are very good, 10 pictures are good. The leftover 20 or so pictures were all duds partly because; I'm not a skilled photographer. I had friends who ARE skilled PAID photographers who were astonished that I got such great prints out of a glorified point and shoot camera.
My knowledge of the camera is still quite primitive but my shot composition skills rock! The Cannon SX10IS auto focus lets me avoid all that shutter, iso and appeture crap and focus on my composition skills where i shine. Oh in time I'll buy a DSLR to learn the exposure triad but for now I want a glorified point and shoot and the Cannon SX10IS fits the bill nicely for me. Add that this camera takes AA batteries and its all good. I had the fujifilm camera with many of the same features and the pictures it took were grainy and horrid.
