As for the camera itself, I found that it did not like the rechargeable batteries that I had. Thus, I had to order Canon rechargeable batteries. They work well. To give it credit, the manual clearly says that the camera works with alkaline batteries and Canon rechargeable batteries.
The SD memory card that came with the camera is too small for practical purposes. Be prepared to buy a larger card.
I have had the camera less than a month, so I am still learning about it. The default settings work well, but a little tweaking might make things better.
One thing that surprised me is the focusing method. This camera defaults to face detect. The camera must have had fun finding a face in my flowers.:)
The ability to view the pictures on a TV is nice.

All in all , it has been a fantastic camera for the last 2 yrs of my use and still going well.
Only issue I have found is when you shoot in night-mode , the images get blured and photo objects get mixed with each other.


Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom



Style and color is great. Am very happy/satisfied
with this product. MC




Image stabilization is really great, and with the manual ISO setting up to 1600, you can get really sharp pictures at a distance without using a flash - great for taking shots of the kids at school functions when they're a mile away on a stage.
The video quality is excellent as well, and at 30 fps rivals the quality of my digital video camcorder (also a Canon). Be sure to get a high capacity, high speed SD card as well. I purchased with the camera a SanDisk Extreme III Class 6 8GB card and have been impressed with its performance; with this card I can take over 2000 photos at the highest resolution setting and/or 68 minutes of video.
I also like the fact that the camera uses AA batteries instead of its own proprietary battery. I'm using Rayovac Hybrid rechargeables, and I've only had to change the batteries once in almost 6 months, and that includes a trip to Florida, plus Christmas and birthday pictures.

Other advantages: it runs on 4 AA batteries that seem to last forever which means no battery pack (or expensive lithium batteries) to run low just as a herd of antelope shows up. Very easy to download pics into computer. It's not tiny but it isn't heavy or awkward. Only dowside, the lens cover is easy to lose (I tied a thread to it so it's now attached to the strap). Price is very reasonable. Took a few years but I feel I made the right choice.
Compared to other brands that offer much of the same (except Movie mode, which few seem to have) I'd recommend this Canon SX10.

Great manual controls for Aperture and Shutter speed make it a camera for Pros, while the Auto mode is wonderful for learning photographers. The zoom is great and the image stabilisation that the camera offers at the maximum zoom level (Even at 10x optical and 4x digital i.e 40x combined zoom) is awesome. The photos in low light during my recent trip to a hill station were good in the Night mode with lots of saturation of natural colours.
Face detection is also a good feature with the camera able to detect faces very very easily (I don't know how does it work, but it really works :-))
The Digital Zoom, unlike others cameras I have used, does not distort the image to a very large extent, thanks to the high resolution and the safety zoom features. I can upload photos to depict this.(I don't know how to do this in Amazon :-))
The battery life seemed ok only , as I was able to shoot around 200 shots with my Sony NiMH(2500mAH) bateries with flash. But the batteries are brand new and should gain more strength with a couple of charge-discharge cycles. But a spare set of batteries is always helpful.
I had a Nikon 5600 prior to this so wanted a middle size camera with extended zoom and manual controls, and glad to find SX 110 fit all my needs.
A thing that is missing is a Sports mode, which is a feature to shoot fast moving objects. I had this in my Nikon 5600, but could not yet find it on my SX110. Possibly the Manual controls for Aperture and Shutters could make this up for me. Still in the learning phase :-)

What I love: easy auto mode, good manual controls, decent (low-resolution) videos. 8.0 MP resolution, good image stabilization. After the 3x zoom of the S80, 10x zoom is a delight; I get many pix I couldn't have gotten with the S80.
Minor quibbles: the function wheel on the top of the camera is frequently rotated by taking the camera out of the case. So I have to check each time that I'm in the same mode I left it in; I have ended up with bad photos when I thought I was in Auto mode and turned out not to be.
The batteries can fall out when you open the battery door to change the sd card. But this doesn't bother me; it's intuitive to hold the camera upside down when opening the door on the bottom. In that position, the batteries stay put as they should.
Altogether, I find this camera a delight. Every time I use it I'm reminded how much I like it. When the time comes for a new camera, I will certainly buy one of the successor models (the very similar Canon Powershot SX110IS 9MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver) or the 20x Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom.
I've owned many cameras in my life. For my current needs of quick, good snapshots and occassional professional portraits and action shots, this camera is the best I've ever owned.


So will have to hunt for a quicker recovering camera.

On the positive side, the camera's face detection is excellent; the flesh tones are very real; the camera is very compact in size, and uses standard AA batteries. The preview LCD is large, and there is also an optical viewfinder with tracking zoom. The automatic lens cover works great. I'm sure there are worse cameras in this price range, but I really expected more from Canon.
Bottom line: if you want something cheap, get a used Nikon coolpix. If you really want a Canon, save your money and get a Powershot G10 for $350. That is a superior camera.

My other problem is that it eats through batteries like there's no tomorrow. About every 10 pictures or 1 video its demanding fresh batteries and it takes alot longer to get to where it can take a picture. Not great when I want to capture scrapbook-able moments with my 3 young'uns. I'm missing alot. In the grand scheme of things, I really dislike this camera. It has too many features I'll never use because I'm too busy being frustrated with the features I DO use.
