I was looking for a new camera to replace my 3.2MP Powershot A70, which produces excellent pictures. Trying a few test shots around and about I found that the Ixus 980IS does not cope as well with darker shots and you really need to ramp the ISO setting up to get comparable shutter speeds.
Taking the camera to a concert I found the limitations of the hardware and its lack of control very apparent. In the same kind of lighting conditions I never had to go above ISO 400 with the A70, and could get respectable shutter speeds. To get similar shutter speeds on the Ixus 980 I had to set the ISO right up to 1600 and it would often still opt for speeds that were too slow to be practical. Despite the high ISO, the good shots show remarkably little colour noise, but are nonetheless noisy.
The root of the problem seems to be the lack of any real aperture control, which effectively prevents you from allowing more light in to get shots on a lower ISO speed and allow faster shutter speeds. In manual mode, the Ixus 980 gives a choice between two aperture sizes (which vary), but these do not seem to affect depth of field so it seems that there isn't really a true aperture affecting the shots. The manual mode is therefore not as flexible as it would suggest since you have no real aperture flexibility with which to affect other settings.
On the whole though, the images captured by the Ixus 980 are excellent given the very high pixel count (remembering the golden rule that more pixels does not equal a better camera!). If you're used to more control over your shots and something a little closer to an SLR's flexibility you may be better off going for one of Canon's PowerShot models instead.
I opted for the Ixus for compactness and lack of protrusions but the size differences really aren't that much. Naturally with the compactness you have to make some compromises, but for its size, the 980's capabilities are still amazing. It's a beautiful little camera too, nice to hold, and the controls work very effectively though some obviously find the thumb wheel awkward. I find it well balanced and easy to use. It starts up quickly, and things like the battery and SD card slot are nice and easy to get to. Batteries charge quickly and last well.
On the whole a great camera packed into a tiny package, but be aware of its limitations if you want a little more than point-and-shoot when you hit its boundaries.

Great lens cap. Bought as a replacement for my Canon SX20. 10x better than the original which fit loosely and often popped off. This is a very snug fit with the added safety of the leash (that IS secured to the cap by a small hole). Why didn't Canon make it this way in the first place?

We use our cameras in our business every day. We have had 3 Nikons in the past. All had outstanding PQ, but all died about every 2-3 years. So we decided this time to look for another camera. We decided on the Canon SX1 IS due to the reviews here. Let me tell you how bad this camera is;
1. The PQ is horrid. One of our CAMERA PHONES produces nearly identical PQ. Only slightly worse. I called Canon and after talking to the nice person on the phone, they had no explanation. They suggested I email images to one of their higher up techs. Two days later, no response. Update: A week later I called and asked about the pictures, what they thought of them. They said they did not get them. I emailed again to the person on the phone and she did get them while I was on the phone and said they were typical photos for the camera. If that's typical, I have to say Canon has very low standards for this camera.
2. The buttons are in all the wrong places. You cannot carry or handle this camera w/o hitting buttons unintentionally.
3. This camera weights 1.5 pounds. That's about equal to 2 12oz cans of soda. Go pick up two cans of soda and try to carry that around like you would a camera.
4. There is only one way to grip this camera and it requires 2 hands. There is no other way to use it successfully.
5. It only comes with standard rca cables to view the HD video. Which, is just horrible. Who in their right mind would put a standard cable with a HD camera?
6. The SD card is very, very hard to get out.
7. The HD movies will not play on my computer. [UPDATE: We had to update to QT 7 to get them to play. Which does work. However, the video is jerky and jumpy. About every 1 second it seems to skip several frames. The PQ just just good, on the very low level of HD expected quality.]
I know I'm being overally dramatic, but it's hard to keep it cool considering this is a $500+ "HD" camera. I do LOVE the wide field of view, it's awesome. The 20x zoom is outstanding... in theory. the problem is, both are worthless if the PQ is not any better than a camera phone. I've uploaded my own photos here taken with this camera so you can see for yourself. One shows the dark dot, and the other is the kitchen sink area. You be the judge if I'm being overly critical of this $500 camera.
Bottom line: if you care about the picture quality, ease of use, or ergonomics, skip this one.
My experience level: well seasoned amateur.
I question some of the reviews on this site. They sound like they were written by professional copywriters for a PR campaign. Trust this one and the other review "Noise and grain." That is the truth for this camera. This camera is a dog.

I recently bought this Canon A1000IS, and I've been toying around with it for the past several days. I was looking for a point-and-shoot camera that I could carry around and travel with and take fairly good pictures. This is the exact camera I was looking for. I bought this over the A2000/A2100 because of its smaller size, cheaper cost, and viewfinder. I bought this over the new A1100 because the main difference between the A1000 and the new A1100 is the extra 2.1 megapixels. I'm not a big fan of the brown color that I have, but it was the cheapest option. I'd personally prefer the blue or gray.
Pros:
AA batteries - Don't do regular alkaline. Go with NiMH rechargeable batteries, and preferably Eneloop or precharged Duracell and the like. It lasts a good while. I've taken many test shots, video, changing settings, reviewing test shots and my eneloop batteries are still going strong.
Image quality - Canon-like quality. Not Digital SLR quality. Other reviews state that high ISO is grainy. Personally I've gone up to ISO 400 and 800 with my photos, and as a point-and-shoot the image quality is just fine.
Optical Zoom - 4x optical which is more than the typical 3x in most point and shoots.
Camera Body - Sturdy body for the most part and the LCD screen is a good size.
Cons:
Flash recharge - It's not that bad, but it can take up to 5-6 seconds to recharge sometimes. If you're getting a point-and-shoot though, then it's not like you need to be taking multiple quick shots.
Buttons - The buttons are not backlit so it can be hard to see in the dark. I'm not sure how many cameras even have backlit buttons. You can redirect the lcd light to the buttons if you really need to see the button labels.
Compartment doors - The door for the AA battery and memory compartment looks and feels flimsy. Also the door for the AV and USB compartment is an elastic door that's not that great.
Glossy LCD screen - The LCD screen has some pretty bad glare, but there is a viewfinder. Most cameras usually have glossy, glarey screens anyway I think.
Cannot control shutter speed - You can't manually adjust shutter speed, so you have to play around with just ISO and flash.
Size - This could very well also be a pro, but the size is bigger than the other subcompact cameras. However you won't find a smaller camera that takes AA batteries to my knowledge. It fits well in my hand though, and I think I have average sized hands. It can easily fit in a front pocket unless you have tight pants and small pockets.
I recommend the Canon A1000IS. It's a good deal.

you will have this camera for a good year and then one day you will try taking pics and it will ask you to change the battery. you will keep changing the battery and getting even more expensive batteries because surely the batteries must be the problem! and then eventually you will notice that the metal conductor is actually corroding and so the camera can't read that the batteries are just fine. get this camera if you only want to take good pics for a year but trust me when I say you wont have it for longer

I couldn't make up my mind what type of camera I wanted to purchase; an SLR or a point and shoot. I knew what features I wanted, but up until recently I couldn't find a camera fitting all my needs. I decided that for my purposes of taking travel pictures I wanted something easy to use, but an upgrade to my present camera, a Canon PowerShot A610. I really liked the shape of the camera, which is easy to hold with one hand. Then one of the best features was vari-angle LCD. After searching different cameras I was thrilled when I found the SX10IS which had most if not all the features I had been looking for. I wanted at least 18x optical zoom and this has 20x; I definitely wanted the vari-angle LCD for taking pictures either higher or lower than a comfortable viewing level. (It sure saves on backs when wanting to take a close up of a flower and you can turn the viewer up and hold the camera down at arms length to get a great picture). It also has the easy grip like my older camera, however I find there are more buttons that I sometimes push inadvertantly, and get out of the mode that I want to be in. As I get more used to the camera I don't mess up as often. The pictures come out crystal clear and I can zoom in when viewing on my computer and still get great pixel clarity. The finished photos I have had processed have come out close to studio quality. Recently I took portraits of guests at our Christmas party and had rave reviews of the finished product with many ordering additional prints to send to family and friends. Also, I was extremely pleased when taking photos at the Tournament of Roses parade last week.
Most electonic gadgets have more features on them then one will ever use, and this camera is no exception. Slowly, I am trying to learn more to take advantage of more features. On the other hand, if you want ease of use then with this camera you can be out taking pictures as soon as you put in your batteries and memory card. Speaking of memory cards, you will want to buy a high speed card to take advantage of the continuous shoot feature. This is great when taking pictures of moving objects. Another feature I haven't mentioned is the great video (with sound) that you can take with this camera. Having a high capacity memory SD card helps. I always carry extra cards, but with my new 8 GB card I won't be using the extra cards very often.
Face recognition is another feature I haven't used before. It is an interesting feature and new tool when taking group shots.
I could go on and on, there are so many good things I could say about this camera. I really don't have any negatives other than accidentally pushing buttons when I don't want to. As I had read in another review, the controls are "touchy" and you have to be aware of where your "fat fingers" land.
I'm a senior citizen who loves to take pictures and have thousands of photos on my computer. I enjoy viewing slide shows of all the pictures of our travels throughout the USA and also abroad. If you want to take a step up from the compact point and shoot then I would highly recommend the Canon PowerShot SX10IS. It has features you will appreciate for taking photos both indoors and out.

This thing is awful on batteries. I can buy new alkaline AA batteries and it seems like after a few pictures I get a low battery reading and then the camera goes out. I have a battery tester that shows that the batteries are pretty close to full strength but will not work in this camera. I literally have a ziplock bag full of AA batteries that I have used in this camera that I now save for use in remote controls and other battery operated devices. It got to be so frustrating that I finally went out and bought another camera. Not a Canon. The pictures that I did take are actually very good pictures. It's just the deal with the batteries got to be a problem.[[ASIN:B0011ZCDKS Canon PowerShot A590IS 8MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom]

Couldn't find a new lens cap locally, so I bought this one, which came in a couple of days and fits better than the Cannon original. Nice to be able to loop the cord through the neck strap and not worry where the cap went.

I have owned a Canon PowerShot for many years, and find the picture quality and ease of use to be superior in this price range ($100 - $150). My PowerShot has been 1/2 way around the world and back, run over by a car and is still taking great shots.
BEFORE buying this camera, would have also said that battery life is also a plus, as I much prefer AA batteries when traveling: you can recharge as needed but can always grab some at a corner store if you absolutely need to in a pinch.
After researching current PowerShot models (on-line and in-store), I bought this A590 from Amazon for my 13 y.o. brother to take with him on his 1st trip to Europe - a school trip to London & France. How very disappointed when, 4 days into his trip the camera 'went dead.' It turns out we received a version of this camera from Amazon that required an additional WATCH-TYPE BATTERY FOR THE LENS.
THIS IS NOT MENTIONED ANYWHERE IN THE CAMERA SPECS!!!!!!! When I researched this camera in-store, the A590 I handled DID NOT require any batteries in addition to the standard AA's, nor did the user guide included with the camera mention anything about this additional battery.
I might have actually bothered to return the camera simply due to this lack of disclosure, but this wouldn't have remedied the disappointment of a 13 y.o. boy.
Has anyone else received an A590 with a similar issue?
I still love the Canon products overall, but am unsure why the camera we received was not as described (by both Amazon and Canon). I am currently researching new cameras for an upcoming trip. I do not feel comfortable buying a camera again from Amazon due to this issue - how can I truly be sure that what I am buying is what I receive.....do I want to be in a remote Italian village when my camera dies for some unknown reason?

After several months of trying to decide on a digital SLR or a high end digital camera I decided on the Canon Powershot SX1 IS. I have had the camera for a couple of days now, and it is wonderful. My reason for choosing this camera was to have something that my family could utilize (wife and 5 kids) but that also had some of the features a digital SLR delivers. I am a casual photographer, but I know a goood picture when I see one, and this camera delivers. The photo quality is superior and the pre-settings are great for one who has no knowledge of manual settings. The camera is bulky; so, if you are looking for a pocket camera this is not it. I am very impressed with the HD video quality, and now I feel like I can have the best of both worlds in still and video; although, my main purpose for the camera are still images. Some may not like the use of AA batteries, but I have found this to be very convenient. The most impressive feature of the camera for me is the 20X zoom that can key in on distant subjects without the need to fiddle with changing lenses. I also like the ability of the camera to capture moving subjects with ease. I have more to learn about this camera, but I wanted to chime in with a review that may be helpful for someone like me that was having a difficult time making a decision on a high end digital camera. I will say if you feel comfortable with utilizing a digital SLR go with that, but if you are like me and have other users in your family that you want to be able to utilize the camera without much training, the Canon Powershot SX1 IS is the one to choose.

If your pictures aren't turning out, you're probably doing something wrong. Small changes make a huge difference. Especially simple things like the White Balance/changing the light source. Take a picture of a cut open watermelon and watch the red heart go from auto bland to a bright juicy red. You can even set the Red in the Colors menu. But just changing the light source makes all the diffence in the world! The most amazing thing with this camera is the Stabilization!!! You can free hand all the way into the digital zoom and have your pictures come out clearer and better than they even look through the lcd. I'm constantly amazed at how stable it is. That's what made me choose this over the Nikon with 20x optical zoom and the rest of the competition. Just zoom out in the store and watch it find and track Faces from 10' to 100'. It even seperates the Facial Recognition pic.s when you download into it's own file, just faces.
Just for the hell-of-it, when I registered this camera, I let CANON know that my 4 year old A75 PowerShot stopped working. It blurred out with purple vertical lines. They said to send it in and they'd fix it for free if it was one of those that got a bad CCD. Ten minutes ago the Fed Ex guy brought it back and it's fixed!!! FREE, new CCD and adjusted and cleaned! Amazing. Just that alone makes me glad that I picked the Canon. What other company would pay shipping and fix a 4 year old camera for FREE?! NONE!!! Very Impressed with Canon. They've made me a loyal customer for life. They probably fixed it because I just bought this SX10IS. But, they didn't have to. I never expected them to do this. I was just curious to why my A75 went bad and if it was worth fixing to use as my work camera. Anyway, I never write reviews, but no one's ever fixed a camera that's years past warranty for free and had it back in under 2 weeks!!! My next camera will be a Canon, and the one after that, and after that... When I was researching for the SX10IS, the main complaint was that the lens cap gets lost. Mine hasn't and they make caps with a lanyard for like [...] bucks! What it comes down to is, shake all you want, your pictures will still come out butter smooth, even a mile away!!!

I have a Canon Powershot SX20IS and due to the fact that the original lens cap was not very well designed I lost it. The original cap was always falling off and there was no way of attaching it to my camera strap for safe keeping. Well, this led me to purchase a lens cap with a leash! I purchased this lens cap and it fits wonderfully. It also attaches to my camera strap for safe keeping and I love it. No more worrying about losing the cap!

Ordered for my IXUS 100 IS black camera. Product description is mentioned for Canon Digital IXUS 100 IS Digital Camera - Black (12.1 MP, 3.0x Optical Zoom) 2.5 inch LCD also. When I used it, it is not close fit to that. It has so much extra space. Even, It can accomdate one more IXUS IS Black camera :). I think, manufacture is not considered the slim size of Canon Digital IXUS 100 IS Digital Camera - Black (12.1 MP, 3.0x Optical Zoom) 2.5 inch LCD.
This cover will be good, if you want to keep camera and additional accessaries into that. Not a good fit, if it is only for camera

I bought this camera as a Christmas present for my wife 2 years ago. She is not a particularly keen photographer but this camera appeared very compact, smart and relatively easy to use. As a photographer myself I thought that it ticked all the boxes. She hardly used the thing until she decided to take it on a recent holiday and was quite looking forward to taking some interesting pictures.
After taking only about 20 pictures the lens refused to retract and now simply reports 'lens error, restart camera.'
After further investigation I find that this is a common, well documented problem. I have not yet had time to contact Canon to find out how to resolve this problem.
I wouldn't advise the purchase of this camera as it is clearly unreliable. It has probably only taken 50 pictures since it was first used.

I went to Best Buy at first to purchase a lens cap for my Canon Powershot, but they were all out of my size, TWICE! So, I checked out Amazon and came upon this lens cap that was $7 cheaper than it would have been at the store. It fits perfectly, and I am completely satisfied.

I was fed up with pocket cameras. After reading many reviews about many cameras I chose the CANON SX10 IS. Right out of the box just point and shoot. I have found this camera amateur friendly. My dogs tend to be black or white... Westies and Labradors. No longer do I get just a profile outline of my Lab, or a white blob of my Westie. Gone are the green ghoul eyes. The video is as crisp as the photos. The sound recording on video is clear, too. Important if you want the sound of your little puppies at play. Most important is how silent the camera is to operate. My dogs no longer hear the camera come out of the bag, power up, focus, and shoot. Even the flash doesn't disturb them. Portrait photos of family are priceless. I can't wait to start photographing wildlife.I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains where "teaming with wildlife"is an understatement. Turkeys, deer, birds, geese, ducks, wolves, cyotes, mountain lions, lynx, bobcats,etc. have appeared in my side, front,and backyard. A positive for a budding wildlife photographer... a nightmare when walking the dogs. "GET OUT OF HERE!" doesn't exactly intimidate timber wolves that appear on the edge of your yard while walking a six month old Labrador. Having lived here all of my life, however, I do know how to stay safe, the agricultural biology degree doesn't hurt, either.
The LCD screen is big enough for me, especially with its flexibility. A rubber eye piece (eyepieces@cheltenhamas.com) makes the view finder VERY efficient... highly recommended. The ease of use of the automatic controls to the ability of full manual control, with the ability to add attachments using a converter ring (52mm-58mm)and the hot shoe for an additional flash makes this camera limitless. I don't mind the lack of HD recording. Honestly, if you're that into video recording, shouldn't you be looking at camcorders? The CANON SX 10 IS is the best of three worlds for me: automatic, manual, and video in one.

While the charger does it job for a Powershot SD 890 IS, it does not fit perfectly so the battrey might be placed in the charger but it won't be charged. Therefore make sure it is properly connected not to be disappointed!

I lost the lens cap cover that Canon provided. This lens cap cover fits better than the original and has the attached strap that is an awesome feature. I have it attached to my camera strap. No more camera without a lenscap cover !! My camera is TOO valuable not to have lens protection. Now why doesn't Canon provide this far supperior product with each of their cameras for FREE ??? I am so happy I found this online. I recommend this to anyone that requires it. We realized that it also fits my nephews Canon camera. He lost his lenscap as well. So I am ordering one for his birthday. It is a Godsend.

The SX1 IS is a very good camera in its price range, but make sure that you're going to use its features, and be aware of its drawbacks. As a high-end point and shoot, it generates pictures better than just about any compact and quite a few older DSLRs, but it is no substitute for even a modern budget DSLR like the Nikon D40 and at high resolution it has noticible noise at all but the slowest ISO settings. Its superfine JPEGs are very sharp, but people who expect full control over RAW will be disappointed at how comparatively little adjustment is possible (white balance, colour, and not much else). If you primarily shoot in 16:9 (as I do), then you will adore the widescreen LCD, but if you primarily shoot in 4:3 then you will find it vibrant but cropped. Video, especially in HD mode, is crystal clear and sharp with exceptional audio but difficult to play on all but very high end systems (PowerPC Macs need not apply) and you will want a big card. Plus, the camera is rather exhausting to hold through long video sessions. However, it is almost as good as my trusty Vixia HV-30.
If you're getting the idea that virtually every plus of this camera comes with a corresponding caveat (except for the AA batteries: it uses AA batteries instead of stupid custom charge paks, and it's very powerthrifty, so this is a big plus), you're right. I bought this camera *specifically* for its 16:9 capabilities and the ability to quickly frame widescreen panoramas, which put it in a very small group of cameras, and I do actually make use of its HD video capability from time to time. Thus, for my specific purposes, it performs admirably. People using it for professional print photography, however, will be disappointed by the image noise and the relatively few prosumer features. If you are primarily doing 4:3 or 3:2 images and you don't need (good) video, you would be better served by something else, and for those tasks I still use my Nikon SLR.
As a high-end amateur point and shoot, and a professional camera for certain niche uses such as my widescreen requirements, it is an exceptional camera in its class. Just remember to use program mode and ISO 80 for shots requiring high quality, and use a tripod. However, people who need the capability and low film noise of a DSLR, particularly for large prints, should look elsewhere unless you absolutely need HD video or 16:9; a Nikon D40x may serve you better.

I purchased this camera along time ago refurbished and it has been a great camera for me. I do not care if you can't see the the LCD screen really well in bright sunlight it has a viewfinder and takes good pictures. I purchased this to replace a Canon A85 which I loved but lost. The A85 got such good reviews I could'nt afford to buy it even if it was a couple years old by the time this one came out. The A550 got better reviews but I wanted the removable lense in which I could still use my converter lenses from the A85. It is true that the battary life is not good but if you have rechargable NIMH and replacements ready then you're all set. I have purchased newer more compact cameras. The Samsung L-200 and Olympus FE46 and I like them both but I like the battery option better than the rechargable battery because if you are taking pictures with my new ones and you run out of power you can't recharge them right away.

This camera is quite disappointing for its price.
Whilst standard snaps in great light look pretty good and are sharp, it has a 20x zoom lens and shoots full HD video, I found that the photos were often grainy and achieving shallow depth of field (where the background is out of focus but the foreground in focus) was near impossible. Whilst taking video I found that indoors in ample light, the footage was always very dark. You can correct this by setting the ISO speed higher, however after about 400 the footage or even photographs become unsuitably grainy.
After much thought I believe the problem is that the CMOS sensor is actually very small. To illustrate the point the Canon SX210 actually has exactly the same sized sensor, shoots 720p video and has takes higher MP photos.
Canon PowerShot SX210 IS Digital Camera - Black (14.1 MP, 14x Optical Zoom) 3.0 Inch PureColor LCD
I would seriously recommend looking at a four thirds camera which have a much larger sensor, are very similarly priced and can offer interchangeable lenses for those who may want to become a bit more pro in their photography without buying an SLR, or for a few quid more, go for a dSLR such as the D5000.
The camera is far from terrible, but for the price I firmly believe there are better options.
