Cons: 1) After 5 months, a tiny plastic piece broke off inside the battery door and it won't stay closed (must send camera to Canon), 2) No lens cap tether, 3) Can't seem to find a polarizing filter for it, possibly because this is not an SLR camera with live viewfinder?, and 5) Does not shoot in RAW format.
I would still rate this camera best in its class, absolutely. The next step would be a much more expensive DSLR.



it really is amazing what $120 can buy you these days. photography enthusiasts on a budget will love the features. the camera has fully manual capability and a really nice layout and menu design. it shows you the shutter and aperture settings its using when you depress the shutter. in program mode you can just shoot, or you can adjust exposure, ISO, white balance, flash exposure as you like. its clearly produced by a company thats always refining its products to be more flexible without being unecessarily complicated.
the camera is well designed and responsive. if it could only shoot raw and had live histogram id give it an A+ for features.
the bad news is its still a cheap camera. the sensor is small and fairly noisy. frankly im a bit disappointed in that regard. the pictures look good in general terms but when you zoom in to 100% they are noisy and compressed looking in general, with high ISO pictures being really bad (mind you i usually shoot RAW images with a larger camera).
the only consolation is knowing that other cameras at this price are the same if not worse. but you really dont want to shoot in low light with this thing, it looks like a damn snowstorm.
if your camera budget is $150, i absolutely recommend this camera. if image quality is important and you can spend more, its may be worth it to do so... but you may have to spend considerably more to see any improvement.

I used a Fujica AX-3 35mm outfit for years but did not want the hastle of carrying around numerous lenses etc... This camera allows me to play in manual mode, and my wife to snap away in auto and both receive great results. My sunpack flash even works on the hot shoe if I need some extra umph in low light.

Rechargable AA battereis last about 200 shots or more and the display may be turned off to increase this. However the display does not seem to draw so much power that this is worth doing. The AA battereis make this camera larger than some other Canons, but I prefer the AAs due to their general availabity when on vacation. One set of lithium batteries may be used to fill an 8gig card without replacement.
The graphite fiber plastic body is more robust than the metal body used in the A570ISs that I also have that tends to show dents from heavy use.
The only feature that could be improved upon with this camera is the focal length of the zoom lens. I would also recommed the SX110 that I purchased for its 10x zoom lens.
The video fuction of this camera is also great, and better than video cameras in that it isa full 640x480 at 30 frames per second. Normal video cameras are not as good for viewing on the computer due to "interlacing" that prevents fozen images from being sharp.
The Canon A590IS is a very good value.

I have shot almost 900 pictures in the four weeks I've had the SX10, but am still learning many of its controls and capabilities. I've discarded about 5% of the shot I've taken due mainly to poor exposure or focus, but have learned how to aim the focusing points and exposure metering properly to eliminate those problems.
My previous cameras were: Nikon FM2, Canon RebelG (35mm), Canon A70, Canon A75, and Canon SD600. The SX10 reminds me of the RebelG in terms of flexibility and ease of use.
I like Canon's use of AA batteries and SDHC memory cards, both of which are inexpensive and readily available. I was able to get a pair of Sandisk 8gb Extreme II and 3 Sandisk 4gb Extreme III SDHC cards for under $25 each during Black Friday sales, which should be more than sufficient for any future trips I take.
I would strongly recommend this camera to anyone looking for a feature-packed point & shoot that is willing to sacrifice camera size for capability.

It also has a range of semi and fully automatic settings which the beginner can use constantly and still get top class results. Remember, the camera features the IS (image stabilisation) system, and Canon's is widely acclaimed to be the best. (Helps to prevent blur in shots where a slower shutter speed, and/or telephoto is being used). This will buy you approx two stops when handholding the camera - in other words, if you are using 1/125th second to shoot, the system will produce an image equating to use of 1/500th (125 - 250 - 500, two stops).
I do a lot of macro and landscape work, often tripod mounted, so the Aperture priority mode is my usual favourite - I can control depth of field (what is in focus, and what is not, along a line drawn from the lens to the very background of the photograph - the smaller the aperture, the more that is in sharp focus, but sometimes you want to isolate a subject from it's background by using a large aperture, throwing everything out of focus, apart from the subject).
This camera is my first serious digital camera, and as a pre existing user of a Canon A1 35mm camera for many years, this one does everything my A1 could, and also has a wonderful ten times optical zoom, nine megapixels, and a large bright 3" LCD monitor, coupled with a very easy menu system (takes a little learning, like all such cameras).
I can't wait to see what the next new model features are - but this one produces great photographs, and is definitely as professional as you are - good job Canon, thank you!


Without a viewfinder some brighter lighting conditions make it harder to see what you are shooting but more frequently it is not a problem. The telephoto lens is great.
Use of a padded case would be wise to protect the viewscreen during periods of non use.
The software for transfer to your computer is automatic and relatively quick.
The camera has a much better battery life than my previous Canon. I hope it will continue to be so.







My only complaint like everyone states is that it really uses the batteries. The batteries that came with the camera seemed to last a while but once those ran out and I switched to my rechargeables, it seems like I have to replace the batteries after every picture session. I always keep extra charged batteries with me but I don't remember going through them so quickly with the A70. Overall though I am willing to sacrifice a low battery life with high quality, easy to take pictures.

I would recommend this camera to everyone I know. I'd suggest you get a PSC-100 case for it along with a tripod. The case doesn't have any pockets but that keeps the sleek advantage of the camera alive.
The only con I can think of is the medium-low battery life due to the really large LCD screen, which is awesome btw. Just buy a couple of pairs of extra rechargeable batteries and you're good to go!

I have not had a canon camera before, but I am now comfortable around most of the menu and settings. However I know there is so much more available, but I havn't had the time to go through the massive elctronic user guide.
The worst thing I've had from this camera is the high ISO photos. There is definatly more noise than I expected.

I think this is the best camera on the market in its class and most of all in PRICE .
The only disadvantage i see in it its the fact that it works on 4 AA batteries wich you can solve with buying an rechargable batteries kit.
A must have

I can take good out side shots. I use high end rechargables. Today, I tested my batteries - all in the good range - and I was only able to get in less than a dozen shots before it said - change batteries. That is the final straw.
I have tried using many settings. I have spoken to CANON. I said that I wanted to get a new camera - I would have never spent this kind of money if I had known that it requires "AA"s. This camera replaced another CANON that I was happy with, but I dropped while open. To repair that camera lens area, the minimum charge was $175.00. So I bought a new camera.
I will never buy a camera again that takes AA's. And this is not an easy to use camera unless you put it on the simple function, and then you can't make any minor tweaks.
If you want an easy point and shoot - don't get this one. It has failed me at so many important events that I can't even tell you.

The most obvious difference between this one and others I've had is the picture and video quality, especially the video quality. When I play back a video on my computer, it looks and sounds like a professional camera. It looks like you are watching a TV program the quality is so good. I couldn't believe it. I looked at the file sizes and I knew why. I think my videos are 10 times the amount of space as my other cameras were. I bought a 4GB card to replace my 256MB card. It is worth it though. I save all my videos and pictures on a Seagate external hard drive. Love that thing.
I attached a video that we took the other day with this camera.

I do have a few small gripes though.
1. Sadly the 32 Mb MMC cards that is supplied by Cannon is a bit of a joke given that most pictures are around 3 to 4Mb. I purchased a 8GB SDHC for a few quid and have had to problems with that.
2. Standard batteries are no good, I bought some Uniross 2700mAh batteries from Amazon together with a charger and this does the trick.
3. The flash is adequate for most things but outdoor shots in low light may come out rather poor. The supplementary flash is a tad expensive too.
All in all a very good camera and highly recommended, just get some reachable batteries and a decent sized memory card and you will be sorted.
I can not comment on the software supplied by Cannon as I have never used it.
