In this video, I give a brief tour of the Canon SX110's operation, show the range of the zoom, and include a few photos to demonstrate some of the features. Note that you cannot judge the actual photographic quality since the compression and natural degradation of video on the web may impact it, although you should be able to see the difference between optical and digital zoom. To help consumers judge the quality, I will also post a few images on the main product page. This camera has so many features and settings that it take owners a while to learn them; however, if you want to do more than take standard snapshots, you will appreciate the camera's versatility.
Note: This silver Canon SX100IS is the same as the black model, just with a different housing.

I bought this camera from Amazon a year ago to take along on my weekend hikes in the mountains. It takes great photos, although after a year I often get "lens error" messages and the camera freezes. In its defense it's taken several thousand photos of my travels.
I can take good micro shots of bugs and plants, take short (under three minute) videos and other creative features. I bought rechargable batteries for this to cut down on regular batteries.
But why the price hike to almost $300? I bought this same camera here for $99.95! What's up with this, Amazon? This is a year-old camera, the price should be dropping, not rising!

My use of this camera to date has been somewhatly limited. But so far the camera has been exceptional. All of its many features work and work well. I have read a lot of reports about the cameera being big, bulky and heavy. Well it is all of those, but I find these things to be an attribute. It makes it feel adequate rather than flimsy and cheap.One thing I am not too happy with is battery life. So far I have used only the AA alkaline batteries, which are used up rather soon. In the past I have used NiMH batteries and found them to die from not being used instead of wearing out from use. Which is worse. Your total number of shots is still limited. This camera has an abundance of features and uses power accordingly. The camera has features that are not well covered in the user manual. Trial and error is the answer. All in all this is a very good camera, and I am very happty with it.

I've had this camera a few months now and have been able to run it thru it's paces. This camera has performed quite well in a variety of situations. Landscapes are probably it's strongest suite with vibrant colors and sharp images. Even when zooming in at 20x the images still look respectable. It's only weakness would be the builtin flash It's somewhat weak past a few feet and harsh up close. I reccomend an external flash. The camera is full of features that I've yet to master, in fact it can be too complicated at times to use. Also, the viewfinder is digital, which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. An optical viewfinder would of made this camera perfect. If you want the versatility and quality of a DSLR and don't have the need for multiple lenses, save yourself alot of money and get this camera. So far, I love it.

My dad has resisted updating his digital camera for several years. I finally convinced him this year and this was the camera I chose for his Christmas gift.
It is simply outstanding. The camera is full featured and offers all of the controls that the DSLR's have when it comes to aperture and shutter speed settings and manual controls. But the real test is how it shoots in full auto, because that is when the camera has to make critical decisions.
This camera succeeds wildly. We were at a Christmas party and I had my Canon 30D DSLR in full manual mode with a 550EXII flash mounted and my dad had his new Canon Powershot SX10IS. When we got home we compared pictures and he fared very well against my shots.
The flash is surprisingly strong, but doesn't wash out close shots. It can light up a big room from far away. The focus is good and fast. The colors are OUTSTANDING and the 20x zoom and 28mm wide angle are features that offer the best of both worlds when it comes to handling a variety of situations.
On top of that, the Image Stabilization works very well and makes the 20x zoom usable.
Plus, my dad has now retired his old video camera as well since you can get image stabilized, 20x zoomable, 640x480 stereo video at the press of a button. This camera is really the best featured and easy to use camera out there and at a price that is unbeatable. Add an inexpensive 8Gb memory card and a set of four rechargable AA batteries and you are in at under $400 for everything you need.
I highly recommend this camera as the best ALL-AROUND camera you can buy right now when you consider price, features, size and image quality.

I purchased this camera after my previous Canon Powershot digital camera was stolen at a construction site. This is my 3rd Powershot and to say that Canon has a winner in this series would be an understatement. The current model is a powerhouse. 9 MB file size, a 10x optical zoom giving you the same view as a 550 mm 35 mm camera lens lets you really pull images in from almost any vantage point. The image stabilizer is also a great tool as there is no visible blurring due to hand shake. The only issue for a really great camera is battery life. The first set of batteries, the ones that came with the camera ran out fairly quickly, granted my 10 year son was shooting movies and then reviewing them over and over again, but still. This is the first digital camera that allows for the use of AA batteries off the shelf which in theory shouldbe convenient except that they really don't last very long compared to the rechargable batteries that usually come with these cameras. As a result a sprang for rechargable batteries and a charger and then batteries seem to last a bit longer. Only time will tell so we will have to wait and see.
Overall I am very happy with this camera and I think that you will be as well. Also the black colering is very cool.

I got this camera after having a poor experience with another brand (casio) small point and shoot camera. The Canon A590IS provides excellent quality photos and video both indoors and out. I used it for an entire week's vacation in a a variety of settings with an 8GB SDHC card with no problems. The image stabilization is a huge plus for this camera, because the small point and shoots without it often result in blurry pictures, even in good lighting. This canon is easy to grip and take a nice steady picture. The result is you can usually get a good shot even with the flash off in normal room lighting, because the stablization keeps the shot steady during a slower shutter speed.
I used all the various automatic modes like indoor, kids, pets, landscape etc with good results, but auto and P mode seem to do the job in most situations. The video results are very good, even though they are only 20 fps, but this only effects fast action like a sports event, and even then is not really noticeable. I made a video of a flag football game that came out fine. I tested all the modes up to 8 megapixel. The 3M fine mode is my default for normal situations.
The only downside of this camera is the battery life. For some reason, the camera shows the AA batteries are low even though they are only slightly discharged. As a result you have to often change the batteries, even though the batteries you take out still measure well into the green charged range on a battery tester. So do not throw away batteries after you take them out of this canon. They are still fine for any other device. Canon needs to fix this problem.
Otherwise great camera at a great price for both photo and video. Get an 8GB SDHC card and a bunch of AA batteries and you will be good to go.

I've used this camera for ~2.5 years over much of the US and Asia and taken over 5,000 photo's. I and have been very pleased with its performance.
I am a serious amateur photographer and story teller who relies on images for Power Points, newsletters, and photos to display. This camera has been wonderful and reliable. I average about 500 pictures with one set of four AA batteries. The tilt viewing screen makes this camera perfect for 'discrete' photo's in markets, for casual portraits where people play and work, of architecture, and even of self portraits. In markets and on streets I often find myself tilting the screen and shooting from waist level. I also sometimes find that I can hold it over my head, and the heads of others, see and capture the image again by the tilt of the screen.
This camera is a little larger than I would prefer. It does not easily go into a jacket pocket. I find that I most often carry it in a 'messenger bag' or on my belt under a jacket, sometimes in a jacket pocket. But to be so feature rich, it is worth this extra bulk to me. If I did not want the option of manual controls and the other features I would go for a smaller camera and enjoy the smaller size.
When this camera is replaced I will look for another Canon, I will buy it from Amazon, look for a swivel screen, AA battery powered, and the newer stabilization technology.

I bought this for my oldest son on his 11th birthday. Within a week he had figured out so many features and probably knows more about his camera than most adults do. In the past six months, he has taken wonderful pictures, tons of movies (which sucks the batteries dry) and has had a great time. This little camera has held up despite his younger siblings getting hold of it several times.
I researched a lot before buying this camera and I don't regret it a bit. AND, I am glad I bought it when I did! I paid $89 and it's now selling for $149.

Great idea - poorly designed and implemented!
OK it's only a sock - so why is it so difficult to get right?
1. Karabiner clip - totally stupid, remove it or you'll scratch your precious Ixus.
2. Lanyard also has a metal clip and although it didn't have any sharp edges I removed it in order to be able to attach the cord to the sock once I'd binned the cheap and nasty Karabiner.
3. More like a chunky woolly pullover than a sock - and so far as my Ixus goes a baggy one at that! Has a tendency to slip out.
I really wanted this to work because a sock is exactly what a pocket point and shoot needs to protect it whilst keeping it ready to use. Unfortunately this one isn't right at all!

I have used this camera for one month and will comment on my observations. First the zoom lens is superb. It works smoothly and is easy to operate. I use it all the time. The pictures at full optical zoom (10X) were crisp, detailed and clear. The color was bright, warm and true to life. I found myself saying, "Wow, wow, wow. I can't believe how great these pictures look ". They are superior to the ones I take with my Canon S2 1S. One brght and sunny day, I took some pictures of a near by river and pedestrians who were at least 100 yards away. I used the digital zoom to enlarge the pictures 40X. They were surprisingly good..again couldn't believe it. However, on a gray day this was not the case. The pictures were pixilated and of poor quality. However, the 10X optical zoom pictures were always excellent. The superb image stabilization system contributed greatly to the quality of the zoomed pictures. My Canon Powershot SD 1000 is a wonderful pocket sized camera but at times frustrated me because it only has 3X optical zoom without image stabilization.
The macro setting of the SX100 IS is superb and easy to use. The picture quality caused more "Wow, I can't believe how good they are." Some of my most exciting pictures have been in the macro setting.
The camera is small enough to fit in my pants pocket albeit with a noticable bulge. I have been carrying it this way for the past month even though I have a carrying case for it. I wanted a camera with a decent zoom lens to carry with me on most days. It works but it is definitely not as portable as the Canon Powershsot SD 1000. I don't mind the increased size because I love the zoom. Thus far the unprotected LCD screen has not been damaged in my pocket. The screen itself is good size, easily cleaned and scratch resistant. The screen in no way reproduces the fine quality of the pictures as seen on a computer or when printed out. The screen has fewer pixels than the SD 1000 screen. This is not a problem for me. There is no viewfinder but the screen works reasonably well for me in bright sunlight.
The camera has a solid feel which I like and is relatively easy to hold steady for zoom shots. The battery and SD card cover at first felt a bit fragile but on repeated use it seems to work just fine.
The movie function is average at best. The low resolution movie setting takes poor quality movie that are unacceptable to me. At the high resolution setting the movies are o.k. You can zoom during a movie but it goes out of focus. If I want a close up movie shot, I zoom first in the camera mode and then switch to the movie mode and shot the movie. The results are o.k. My Canon S2 1S zooms while shooting a movie which
I like.
I have not used the manual controls so I can't comment on them. I have use the programed shooting modes for evening and inside shooting etc and they work just fine.
This is a great camera albeit not perfect. For me, the picture quality is it's greatest asset. It is a pleasure to give it a 5 star rating.

I have used the lower priced PowerShot Cameras for the last few years. Out of all of them, this was my least favorite in terms of capturing the quality of pictures I desired.
1) The image stabilization features are not explained clearly. No matter what setting I have it on, I don't see to get the stabilization I expect. Granted, this may be my fault but a better explanation in the manual would be appreciated.
2) The lens converter that I have (that was recommended) is not listed in the camera software - choice-wise. That to me is a bit confusing. LA-DC58G was the converter bought.
3) The image quality is not exceptional. At the highest quality setting, I usually end up boosting the quality through a separate image editing program.
I really love Canon cameras. I just thought that this camera would elevate my picture taking experience a bit further. I think it might be time now to explore the "G" series or higher end PowerShots in general.

I have been watching this camera for a few weeks and finally decided to purchase it. I'm not a power user yet, although I plan on getting to learn on how to use all of its functionality. I have only had it for a few days but so far I'm very impressed.
Pros:
1. Fantastic zoom
2. Great image stabilization
3. Auto mode works well
4. Lots of scene features (fireworks, sunset, etc.)
5. Very impressed with the stereo sound when recording video.
6. I like that you can mute the camera..good for taking pictures of birds or other animals that may get scared by the camera's "natural" noises.
Cons:
1. Although the video recording lets you zoom in and out, I found that once I uploaded it to my PC the outcome of the video was very "jumpy". I will try again with less zooming.
2. The instructions, although clear, go on forever. Thus I purchased the "Canon Powershot SX10 IS CheatSheet" from Amazon. I'm happily waiting for it to help me start using the cool features faster than if I read through the entire manual.
I did do my research via Cameralabs.com where they have live video showing you how the camera works.
Overall...5 stars!! I'm excited to take it on a trip to the Grand Canyon in a few weeks.

This camera is my first venture into the world of digital photography, although I used to be an advanced amateur in the older film photography. I had all kinds of lenses and my own darkroom. Finally I could see the writing on the wall, however, and realized that I had to go digital. I am glad that I selected this camera. It has an amazing variety of settings, most of which I haven't learned yet. But that is no drawback at all, since it works so well in the "Auto" or "Easy" settings. So it is the best of both worlds: I can use it as a simple point and shoot, or I can gradually work into the complexities and all the capabilities that this little masterpiece boasts. So far, results have been very satisfactory, both for outdoor shooting and for indoor use, both with and without flash. I have experimented with the 10x zoom, which works great, thanks to the image stabilization. I tried a movie clip of my dog, and it is perfect. Currently my wife and I are house hunting, so I take the camera along and capture views of the houses inside and out so that we can remember which house is which. This is a great help in keeping them from all running together. I am definitely enjoying my SX110is very much. Now I do have one minor quibble: the camera comes with a 32 MB memory card--32 MB! That is hardly enough to even try the camera out. Come on, Canon--you can do better than that!

We purchased this camera after much research on Amazon and other sites. We previously had a Canon Powershot 530 that died after years of great service. We narrowed our choices down to the SX110 and the SX200 and decided on the SX110 because of price and overall it had slightly better reviews.
We have had the camera for about a month and are totally pleased with the pictures and the features. It is easy to use and all of the settings are intuitive, once you go through the manual.
The LCD screen is bright; we were concerned about not having a viewfinder but this has not been a problem. The face recognition feature is a great touch and works as described. We have been exceptionally pleased with the image quality.
It does a better than average job with red-eye reduction. The megazoom feature is flat-out amazing. We were able to take clear pictures at a ballgame with the 40X digital zoom feature without a tripod.
This camera has exceeded our expectations. This will be a great companion to our Nikon SLR. An excellent product.

I bought this camera when it first come out (for $199) to replace my older 4-year old Canon Powershot that used 4 AA batteries. The older model had a memory limit (for compact flash card) so I wanted trade up to something with more capacity to store videos and more high resolution photos. Since I was already familiar with the Canon buttons and menus, it was a short learning curve. This camera performed much better in low light compared to my father's Casio (his indoor and night shots turned out very grainy).
Since this model only uses 2 AA batteries, I find I do have to change them more often but I just keep extra rechargeable ones in the camera pouch. I like the lighter weight, the many features, and the available colors (yes, it's a Girl thing, I admit it!).
A note about recovery speed for taking photos: I found that this has to do more with the brand of the memory card I'm using. I missed a number of opportunities for some interesting shots on trip I may not be able to take again. I thought the batteries were running out of juice. However, swapping the batteries out with fresh ones didn't make a difference BUT changing out the SD card did! I was using three different brands -- don't get the cheapest ones unless the write speeds are decent.

I bought this camera based on the excellent(for the most part) reviews and price. So when i got home and opened it, it did not have the camera advanced operations/users guide manual in the box, it only had the basic/set up manual. So rather than wait for canon to mail me a users guide, I decided to print one at home and waste expensive printer ink. The manual recomends that you take some practice/test photos to find out which features you like and of course to see if the camera works like it should. So I put in a new set of batteries and I ended up taking about 10 pictures and the annoying low battery warning light came on. Ok, I thought just a bad pack of batteries. So I decided to try another unopened set of regular(alkaline) batteries, so after 15 photos this time, the low battery light came on again! I said: "thats it, Im returning this camera". I did not feel the need to try for strike 3, and I was not about to go out and spend atleast $15 for a rechargeable battery pack because the reason i bought this camera in the first place, was to save money. I have read many different camera reviews and some people complain about batteries dying at 60-70 pictures, try 15! The camera itself takes good pictures, has many good features, and is easy to use, so i wont't give it bad reveiw for anything else except the battery life...

Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom The best pricing was through Amazon from Crutchfield. The delviery was to be 3-5 business days and it arrived on the 6th, which meant I did not have the camera for a planned trip-poor planning on my part too. The camera replaces a Canon digital that suddenly broke and was too expensive to repair. I have had the camera for 3 weeks now, and I am happily impressed with the features and results. I am an amateur who likes to take close-range and distant photos but without the hassle of changing lenses. My old Pentax retired years ago. Surprisingly fun is the ability to take videos, almost like a cam corder. Also fun, is when the memory card can be put into the Panasonic TV slot and the photos make a slide show on a 50" plasma! I think this camera offers great flexibility and results for the amateur; with the need for more performance, but not the need to spend money on a camera or lenses that are rarely used. I am a "professional" complainer and critic so it is rare to report that I am recommending something.

Upgraded from an older point and shoot Canon. Really researched this camera. So far, I love it. I'm used to the Canon menus, so using this camera was an easy change. Daytime pic's are great. Night shots are challenging, but with a little experiimentation and a steady hand, I've taken some great pic's. And the video mode in HD is amazing. Some have said the playback is jerky, I have a newer laptop and decktop PC, and the video is playback is fine. Great camera!

Plenty of features in a compact design, a great camera for beginning and intermediate photographers. The camera isn't quite a shirt-pocket camera, but small enough to be easily carried.
The 2.5" LCD is bright and crisp. The only issue with the LCD is the 'noise' in low light conditions or when using the digital zoom. The noise is filtered out of the picture, but is still visible in the LCD.
The red-eye reduction feature is buried in the menu system, which makes it difficult to easily turn on or off, but the function can be assigned to the print button for one-touch access. The red-eye reduction feature works extremely well compared to older generation cameras. A lamp is used prior to exposure to reduce red-eye and any red-eye you may get is removed during processing.
The various shooting modes are great when used as intended. The action shot (high speed shutter) was available on older Canon models, but is missing on this model. I have yet to blur an action shot, but I've only taken action shots in bright sunlight. If you need a faster shutter in low light conditions, it can be manually adjusted in the Tv mode. Once again, plenty of features, and plenty of manual adjustments for the creative photographer.
If you intend on shooting 8MP photos, invest in a good SDHC Class 4 or better memory card. The SDHC cards have faster transfer rates than standard SD cards. The class rating on SDHC cards indicates the minimum write speed in MB/Sec. A class 4 SDHC card will write an 8MP photo to memory in slightly less than 1 second. A faster write means you're ready for the next shot sooner.

After much research, I settled on this camera because (1) I have owned 2 Canons that I have loved, and (2) I wanted a more powerful zoom than is available in most standard point-and-shoots. The zoom? Very cool. But I can't get past how grainy/noisy the photos are, especially when taken outdoors. I even had photos taken in ideal lighting conditions that had so much noise it was distracting (well, to me anyways). I finally took similar photos side by side with this camera and my 4+-year-old, 5MP Canon Powershot A95, figuring the side-by-side comparison would give me the answers I was looking for. I took photos with and without flash, in sunlight and shade, using auto, portrait, and landscape modes. The verdict was clear: "Old Reliable" was the winner. Sadly, I will be returning the SX110. Back to the drawing board in search of a new camera, once again. I am sorely disappointed.

This camera was a big purchase for me because I wanted something with more than the standardized 3x Optical Zoom of the vast majority of consumer digital cameras. I can easily say I am very satisfied, after more than a year of use.
This camera will seem bulky at first, especially compared to the sexier, slimmer models that are so popular, but after experiencing the zoom, picture quality, and all the functionality, there is no way to be disappointed. A lot of consumers want the camera that fits in your coin pocket, but there is only so much you can get with those cameras.
The SX100 has 8 megapixels, which is just as much as anyone will ever need unless you're looking to blow up your photos onto 5ft by 8ft canvases.
The user-controls are so easy to use, whether you're shooting in AUTO, or any of the more manual modes. For those who revel in photography, but are too poor to afford an SLR (and deal with the sheer size) will be very satisfied. You can adjust everything from flash-strength, white balance, shutter speed, aperture, to focal-length and color-filters. The scroll wheel which resembles that of an iPod makes changing settings on the camera fast and easy.
Flash recharge time is great to make for faster shooting, and most of all, the zoom (10x) gets you as close as you see with the naked eye. I love taking this camera to sporting events, vacations, the beach/river, snowboarding, really anywhere. But I highly recommend a case for this camera, as it doesn't fit in your pocket very easily, but I knew that when I was buying it.
