This is a very versatile but easy-to-use camera. I've talked to Canon Customer Support once (when I upgraded the memory card) and they were great, but have yet to read the manual. There are all kinds of manual settings to play with, there is also a DVD tutorial available through Amazon that I'm thinking about. Mostly I use automatic or portrait (blurs the background). There's a Canon Yahoo group as well.
Get a tripod if you are shooting in low light, those are the ones that come out blurry for me. Video is sharp, but you can see how much I move ;-) Someone earlier wanted a sports setting, try Kids&Pets.
This is a great camera, the swivel screen is very cool and you'll be amazed at the shots you can get. The more you learn, the more you can do.










The pictures are a bit noisy at ISO 400 and above if enlarged although still good "snapshot" quality. In very dim light (without flash) its necessary to use high ISO and accept a little noise or stabilize the camera and use a slow shutter. The shiny camera case can be rather slippery to hold, I put a strip of cloth tape on it for a big improvement. The computer software provided has limited editing features, I use an old copy of Paint Shop Pro if significant editing 1s needed.
Bottom line: I am very happy with this camera so far, I have been able to get a good picture in just about any situation. It has many useful features the average "point & shoot" does not which makes it a practical tool for work as well as pleasure photography.





I already own a Canon PowerShot S3 IS and I'm a fan of Canon cameras, so I wanted to buy another Canon. I was looking for something easier to use, more compact and lighter than the S3. I've studied the Canon cameras, read a lot of reviews and settled for an A550, but I wasn't very sure. I've discovered the SX by mistake, while visiting an electronics store. I was amazed by the clarity of the pics and the lightness, compared to the S3. And the zoom... it's actually hard to give up a 12x optical zoom like the one the S3 has, and that quality of images. But the SX proved to be a good choice. Reviews generally criticised the inacceptable noise at 1600 and the poor movie quality. I do agree about the ISO 1600, but movies seemed quite nice and the pictures are good even compared to the S3, although night isn't SX's best friend.
I recommend the SX100 for those who want something more than an A camera, but don't like the bulky feel of an S3 and need something portable and more friendly-user. Otherwise, go and buy an S3 or an S5, their quality in pics is better and the price is almost the same.
All in all, I'm happy with my little SX and thanks Amazon for the order. 4 stars from me - because night and ISO 1600 are poor and reaching for the USB port ain't very easy

The price is very good, my son bought one so thats why I got the same incase I need help.
Thanks

I don't know why people complain about low light performance. Professionals always have lots of light for video or movies - there isn't really any equipment out there that does a lot more in low light.
I took some test photos and video in a bedroom poorly lit by a desk lamp - the TX1 could shoot what I could see. It was really very dark. TX1 did better than other digital and film cameras I have used.
I have shot a lot of 35mm with ISO800 film indoors at night using fast lenses. TX1 with image stabilization can capture more quality images than I could before with a heavy camera and monopod. Maybe there are other cameras with better low light performance, but I still think the TX1 does an amazing job of low light work. It does have some trouble focussing in low light - which is not what dpreview said. (I am still working on figuring out the conditions in which the focus has problems.)
Infrared nightshot would be nice, as I have it on a mini-DV video camera, but practically its uses are limited.
Very few cameras will do macro to 0cm (16x12 field of view), without special macro lenses. Super macro with optical image stabilisation is amazing.
