A good travel/holiday camera, certainly no pocket camera but for the price £84 + vat from Amazon a bargain.
Good pictures in Auto Mode and I liked the fact that there is a manual feature for those of us who like a little control.
I know about the criticism the camera received about the use of AA battery's, but the upside is, they are universally available.

The Canon SX1-IS is a replacement for an Olympus C-3020 (3.2MP) camera that still works fine, but I wanted more in a camera. This new category, the mega-zoom point and shoots make for great vacation cameras. This particular one costs a bit more, but has HD 1080P (16x9) video recording and wow does it look great. Standard definition (4x3) video is available in several resolutions.
When it comes to still photos, I've learned to like the 16x9 format. It uses fewer megapixels for that image (think of a square, then pull a rectangle out of it... a bit left on top and bottom). There is a shading option which is nice to compose 4x6 if you plan to print to those dimensions.
The camera feels, looks and sounds like an DSLR. But it's an electronic viewfinder.... very important a buyer knows that. I'm one of those people who prefer to look through the viewfinder instead of putting the camera at arms length to compose on the rear LCD. Mostly I use that for photo confirmation, playback or setting menus. It does come in handy for low or weird angle situations. Easy to use in daylight conditions.
I have taken photos recently I would never have been able to with my old Olympus, super telephoto nature shots, wide angles, night shots, action shots and videos. Nice flash photography as well, but limited... it has a hot shoe for external flash systems.
It's a lot to learn... it's quality built.... it's fun.... I'm happy with my purchase.
UPDATE: March 5, 2010
I've learned a few things about this camera over time. Only recently did I use the HD1080p recording for shooting a band performance in a bar. Lot's of harsh stage lights... that whole thing. I found it necessary to use Manual Focus (while rolling HD) to keep the lens from breathing focus. The incredible range of the zoom allowed me to get close ups of the singers, guitars, wide shots of the stage, reaction shots of audience if there was enough light, overall it was a fun experience. The footage seems really good considering this is a point and shoot. (Sound recorded was just a scratch track really). Burning through 8GB SD-HC cards made me realize how much data is recorded in 1080p on this camera. I use a modified left-hand grip flash bracket to hold the camera. This frees up the right hand to make adjustments and lets the operator hold camera much more steady. Some shots of the stage looked like a tripod was used. The Image Stabilizer lens on this camera is pretty amazing. Image grain could be considered a problem, but it's the trade off for convenience and price for this camera. Yes, it would be nice to shoot everything in 80 ASA setting, but you can't always do that. The grainy look this camera sometimes delivers is not objectionable to me and there are adjustments that can be used in iPhoto or other photo programs to work with images. The lens range, equal to 28-560mm on a 35mm camera, is the best feature on this camera. The CMOS chip allows for 4fps still shots and that same chip can provide Standard Def and High Def video capture. Still enjoying my purchase and still learning.
Update: a year later... March 8th, 2011
Just to let readers know... I still really like this camera. Just last week, I learned another function of Review, (checking specific areas of a picture for accurate focus by pressing a few buttons). I never thought a point and shoot/mega zoom could involve such a huge learning curve. Recently, I did my best to help a friends figure out their new Leica V-Lux2 camera. (A Leica badged Panasonic FZ100). For me, the transition from my Canon to the Leica was fairly easy. For my friends, it was not. Knowing the Leica is nearly $900 and has more functions and mega pixels... it still comes down to a camera that is not easily learned in a few hours, a few days or a few weeks. I appreciate the Canon SX1IS after using the Leica V-Lux2. The Canon viewfinder is easier on the eyes, the viewing screen is wider and easier to manipulate, the buttons are in better positions and the use of AA batteries instead of expensive Leica batteries. ( I think the Panasonic badged camera is fine for the money )
BTW... I became frustrated with N.M.H. recharge batteries. I've gone to Lithium 8X Energizer batteries, that are lighter and very long lasting. The cost of batteries is minimal to the cost of lost photos. I gave up on the whole recharge thing... much happier now.
Now that Apple iPhoto is capable of working with RAW image files. I've started shooting with L+RAW. A Jpeg image and RAW image are recorded, taking up more memory, but the ability to work with the photo afterwords in iPhoto is worth it.

All arrived as described, working great. Would have given it 5 if the flash was not so cheap, first it takes ages to charge the flash and opens only manually, and of course the use of AA batteries-come on we're in 21st century, but then I guess one has to also consider the price, all in all good camera, and especially for macro shots-they are amazing. thx

got this camera 2 years ago and it's an ok camera but there's a weird red laser line on the left side screen of my camera when you turn it on. i thought it was just the camera screen but when i checked my photos and videos that red laser like line was still an everyone of my pictures and videos. still the picture and video shots are not bad though.

Love this camera. It takes professional looking photos even with an amateur taking the photos. I have taken most of my photos on the auto setting, but I am really looking forward to learning how to take photos in the other settings. I am seriously contemplating taking a class to get the most out of this camera.

I bought this camera a few years ago for under $200, but decided it was too slow. I loved everything else about it though. And believe me, I've tried a lot of cameras. I'm not a pro, just a hobbyist who wants great pictures out of her point and shoot. Now when I see the price I could cry. I was looking for a camera I could just take along instead of my Canon DSLR and remembered how much I had loved this one. Quite surprised when I saw the price hike. No, I won't pay this much for it, but getting it at the lower price was most definitely a GREAT deal! Would I pay this much for an 8mp, 10X Zoom? No, but if this camera ever goes back down in price I will be very tempted to buy it.

The cap is well built and fits perfectly. The latches are very secure, but can be a little difficult to grasp. It gets more comfortable the more you use it. The lanyard to attach it to the camera is not very useful which is why I gave it four instead of five stars. However, considering the price, it is well worth purchasing if you have lost your original lens cap.

Love this simple, easy to use camera. Takes sharp pictures every time. Only negative is that doing lots of zooming, deleting, etc tends to eat battery power.

I got this camera to shoot underwater pics and to replace my old G 11. It worked well and it is much faster to focus and to capture images. It is a little smaller than the G 11. No problems so far.

The pictures it takes are okay, but you have to wait for the flash to recharge so you miss shots. Plus if you need flash, it has to tell you to open the flash to use it; it's not automatic, at least I haven't been able to figure out how to change settings if this shouldn't be the case

The cap fits very well, and is easy to use. I hope I dont lose it, as I lost the original. The leash is attached through a sticky section that seems insecure, we'll see how it holds. I thought I was missing something so I checked back on the reviews, and saw that others made similar comments about the leash.

I've been waiting for the HD-video-capable replacement for the SX10IS for awhile, and I'm glad I waited. There is a lot of legitimate discussion whether this, the successor to the SX10IS, is a worthwhile replacement, and the answer is contingent on what you want to do with a camera and how experienced you are with photography.
First, this camera has an incredible zoom range. I stood from several blocks away and photographed an entire seven-story building in NYC using the SX1IS's widest zoom setting. From the distance I stood I could barely see that the top three floors featured terraces. I took another photo at maximum zoom and could not only see the terraces but see with reasonable detail that someone with a yellow short-sleeve shirt was having breakfast on their terrace. Needless to say, if you have a need for a fast, high-zoom-capable lens, the SX1IS has it.
In terms of speed, the camera feels very responsive. The lens itself zooms and retracts quickly with little noise (even while shooting video) and I was pleased with the overall responsiveness. The focus settings need to be played with somewhat, but overall the camera feels quick as opposed to sluggish or slow. Also, this (over the SX10IS) is rated at 4fps, which is mighty quick.
Picture quality, overall, is very good. There is definitely fringing on the edges of a shot where the barrel effect of a big, zoomed-out lens appears, but overall I'm happy with the results. There are some issues if you are taking a shot that will wind up on the side of a bus in an ad, but even 8x10 shots will come out wonderfully.
The camera is a bit heavy, but given the lens and the technology stuffed into this thing, I didn't feel like I needed a massage after working with it for a few hours. It's lots heavier than my snapshot go-to camera, the Canon 880IS, but that's like suggesting a Maybach is a lot heavier than a Kawasaki Ninja. Apples and oranges.
Overall, I think this is a good camera. It is a great tool for people who really know what they're doing -- which frankly isn't me. However, I have a general idea of what I want to accomplish and I'm willing -- and going to -- take the time to learn how to get more out of this camera. It's fine as an automatic point and shoot -- a bit complicated, perhaps -- but it will definitely save me the trouble and bother of going the dSLR route. Unless the lens on this camera is damaged, there should be no need to upgrade because the wide angle is great and the zoom is incredible. The lens could be a bit better at high zoom, but I'm satisfied with the results.
The main thing that this camera offers over the SX10IS is the capability to do RAW images and HD Video. The former is for serious users -- I haven't installed my packaged Canon software yet and haven't even explored taking RAW images or how to edit them with Photoshop on the PC -- but the HD video results are pretty amazing. I'm not sure how often I'll use this to do HD video but I can say without a doubt that I'd kick myself in six months' time if I wanted to use it to take some video and had to rely on 480p or 720p instead of full HD video. The quality is stunning and accurate, and with stereo mics the SX10IS does better at video than some fully-dedicated video cameras from several years ago.
A word to the wise: if you are willing to take the time to learn how to use this camera or are very experienced, you will enjoy using this camera. It's a bit pricey but I think it's a great piece of equipment. If however you are looking at this as an improvement on a little snapshot camera like the aforementioned 880IS and all you want to do is take portraits and the like, don't spend the extra money, get a snapshot digicam.
I'd recommend this to people who are either experienced or have a decent knowledge and understanding of photography, and also for people who would like to explore the mechanics of taking a photo beyond just hitting a button. It does produce some great photos, but it can really be frustrating. Bottom line: between the expense, the size of the cam itself and the tweaking necessary, if convenience is first and quality is second on your wishlist, this is not the right camera for you. You should go check out the Canon G10. If quality and the art of photography are the two highest items on your digicam wishlist, buy it and happy shooting.
Four stars and not five because of the lens fringe, the manual pop-up flash and the focus issues I originally experienced before I read through the manual. I'd have given this bad boy an extra star for RAW recording but I also deducted a star because you need to install proprietary Canon 'ware (both an app and a codec) before you can manipulate RAW images in Photoshop or elsewhere.
Overall, one hell of a camera.
