I then talk to Cannon to repair it and they have come back stating that while it is repareable - they are unable to locate the parts in the country.
In all a very bad experience with Canon.
This festive season, i will be looking for non-canon cameras.
This is my third camera like this one. It's the best model I've ever used!
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.
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.
little bit bigger then a lot of camaras but werth it for the results
