My dad came over during the holiday trying to take pictures on a camera with a dead battery. I got online and ordered this kit which came with a wall charger, cigarette adapter, and an extra battery. When I dropped it off yesterday he said thanks. It's great shopping online for these types of items. His was a Canon G7, but I know this is compatible with a number of other cameras.

I reviewed this camera in 2008 when I first purchased it. I used it during my travels throughout Europe and Asia. Unfortunately, it was stolen in Saigon and I was left making an "emergency purchase" to another brand. I had no idea exactly HOW GOOD this camera really was until I compared the pictures it took to the new camera's picture quality. After several years, I am happy to be able to refer to my past comments to see the exact brand and model number of this fabulous camera. I'm going to toss my "new" camera in lieu of this gem.

We brought this camera a few years back to replace our first Canon PowerShot (5MP) point and shoot. I am amaze that (for the price) this camera has functions like AV, TV, P, M. It is a great camera with the ease of AA batteries replacements (Walgreen's always have deals...use rechargeable batteries). I have dropped it and it keeps on going. I have shot a lot of photos (my guess is over 10,000 images at least) and it has keep up with the times. This was a great buy for the price.

I bought this for my father as a present to replace a much older Canon that stopped working. The lens stopped extending or retracting in less than a year. My father sent it into Canon for repair. Several months later, but now out of warranty, it stopped working again with the same problem. It wasn't worth the cost of repair. I bought my father a new camera instead.

This is not a real review because I did not use the camera long enough to find out everything it can do. But in the short time I had it I took a few photos and a couple of videos and it performed flawlessly so if you are considering buying this camera you'll wind up with a winner. The main reason I bought this model is because I'm an old SLR person and I use the viewfinder primarily. With digicams that have LCD screens only (no viewfinder) be ready to spend big bucks for alkaline batteries or buy rechargeables which you'll probably be charging constantly. With some digicams that have an EVF (Electronic View Finder) plus an LCD screen you may have to switch between the EVF and the battery-draining LCD screen when you turn it on. With the SX10 IS as well as similar Canon models, you don't have to use the LCD screen until you need it, saving your battery power. And the LCD screen can be rotated instead of just flipping up and down.

You don't have to buy this camera right off the bat. Visit a Canon dealer and handle the camera. You'll buy it without hesitation.

Una pieza fantastica. Siempre he usado camaras de bolsillo y sencillas de usar y realmente tenia mis serias dudas para adquirir una camara compleja para un usuario noprofesioanlcomo yo. Sin embargo, la especificidad delmanual, las recomendaciones de todos los usuarios escritas en los "reviews@ aqui y un el sinnumero de "blogs"que estan disponible en la red para este producto permitieron una experiencia maravillosa. Definitivamente puedo enumerar ciertos aspectos que la hacen tan versatil:
1. El zoom: proporciona posibildiades de captura de imagenes fantasticas.
2. Las baterias: para los amantes de la aventura al aire libre en sitios hinospitos y para travesias de larga duracion, el uso de baterias del tipo AA permiten cambiarlas sin necesidad de contar con celdas de recarga solar.
3. La pantalla movil: sin palabras, solo debe usarse y se tendran imagenes previas y enfoques que de otra manera seria imposible incluso pensarlos...
4. Tan robusta, fuerte y resistente como aparenta ser: creanme, la he llevado a expedicioens espeleologicas, acesos a altas montañas, sitios de elevado nivel desertico y elevada humedad, condiciones de exrremo frio y aun es mi pieza favorita entre el equipaje.
5. Es liviana. Pese a su gran tamaño el peso realmente esmenor al que aparenta ser...

algun contra? la ubicacion de los controles en condiciones de baja iluminacion podrian mejorarse para hacerlos mas accesibles.Alguna especie de "flood light" podria ayudar.

Conclusion: altamente recomendada y, en mi caso particular, ahora es necesario trascender alas PRO de la misma serie....

This product seemed to go downhill after about a year. It started eating batteries like crazy and now just does not work anymore. 3 years old! Will not purchase Cannon again.

I was hoping more from this camera during low light. It is very noisy. And I also though the intelligent contrast correction didn't work at all. My husband took a photo of me on the beach and my face is very dark. I have Photoshop to fix it though. Overall I am please with it, I do not regret this buy. My husband has a legit digital SLR and this does not really compare. But it takes good enough photos to blow up to 8x10, and if I learn more about digital photography I'm sure I will get better photos out of it. The zoom is great. I didn't have a problem with it sucking up batteries. I bought 4 (expensive) lithium batteries back in May and I am still using them even after an intense 2 week trek through Mexico where I took over 500 photos and a few videos. I keep a spare set with me (just normal AA) in case they die unexpectedly and I can't get any lithium batteries, which I will continue to use with this camera. They are worth the cost.

The service from ordering and setting up the camera was fantastic! Previous cameras have been Olympus, Panasonic and Cannon. This one is so easy to use and the only (2) draw backs are that we had to buy the SD card yet the batteries where supplied? And what happened to the free case as an incentive to buy-common on marketing, give a little have a lot syndrome? Keep your customers happy they will come back for more..You would have got 5 stars otherwise.

We bought this camera to replace our old instant, and have been really pleased with ease of use and the quality of the pictures. Would have liked to buy an SLR but they are a bit bulky for holidays, so this is small enough to carry round yet still have the benefit of a good zoom lense.

I got this camera back in 2007 and meant to write a review, but never got around to it. It's a good camera. It takes decent macro shots, does good telephoto if you don't go all the way to the end of the zoom, and has good color. Try the saturation filter in Picasa if you really want to make the shots pop, but what comes off the card works well enough.

You can install CHDK on this to get focus and zoom during video recording, longer exposures (takes perfect long exposures with the ISO 200 or below), RAW shooting, and better bad pixel removal. That's professional-ish, so it might not be for you. The camera is fine as-is.

Like most other A1000IS users, I too am experiencing a terrible battery life problem. My camera worked well for 6mos and then began to burn through batteries. I'll bet that many or most of the initial reviewers of this product have come to the same conclusion. There are a number of independent threads on this camera's battery life - read them. Do yourself a favor and purchase a different camera - this one has become unusable.

Canon's A590IS is apparently one of those rare items, that is of such quality, that it commands a premium price, even over newer models. The price history for this excellent performing point and shoot is quite remarkable. The camera debuted early in 2008 at around $200, and over time dropped down to around the $110 level. However the price rebounded and increased to stratospheric levels. The highest price I observed, was about $350 for a brand new model.

I have had this camera for over a year, and have been completely satisfied with its performance. I paid $140, and was tempted to buy another when the price was $110. This camera is with me most of the time, and I have taken many thousands of images, with a `keeper' rate above 90%. I have used it to shoot almost anything, except for fast moving subjects or sports. Subjects have included, casual everyday moments, images for work, special events, family gatherings, my dog, and vacation memories.

As an avid user of Canon SLR's, I had been disappointed with the previous A series Powershot cameras I owned. The images did not have great colors, the zoom mechanism was clunky, the shutter delay was annoying, and it took a while to write to the memory card. All this changed with the A590IS. Color rendition is excellent, and the white balance settings work very well. The camera is not suitable for shooting action sports, but the autofocus is very reliable in most situations, including low light or at night. Shutter delay is minimal. If you use flash at high ISO, it does take a while to write to the card, but otherwise time delay between shots is minimal. The zoom action is not the greatest, but it is much improved, and more responsive. The camera also shoots pretty good quality movies, with decent sound.

The A59IS has a heavy duty, metallic gray, wear resistant housing, that is thick, providing for an excellent grip. The camera accepts HDSC cards, so you can take thousands of images, or shoot some pretty long movies. Battery life is good, using AA sized NiMH batteries. The 2.5" display is substantial, and the flash pretty powerful. Like any camera, the controls take some getting used to, but the design is similar to other Powershots, and not too complicated. Shooting mode is selected using the dial on the top of the camera. Program Mode (P) works fine for me most of the time. The size could be an issue for some, as the camera is a little bulky to slip in a pocket, but overall this is a very solid performing point and shoot.

Is the A590IS worth paying a premium price? Although I am very happy with mine, the camera has been on the market for almost two years! Newer cameras probably offer more features and better performance, for the same money. As good as the A590IS is, I am on the lookout for a smaller camera to replace it someday. Canon's new SD940IS looks like an interesting possibility.

Greetings-- since the release of this camera I have been following all the user reviews on Amazon and the consensus seemed to be overwhelmingly positive. Based on the user reviews and other research that I did, I pulled the trigger and bought one. I was really excited about getting this camera because it sounded like the next step up over what I currently have.

When I received the camera I began running it through it's paces. Very soon into it I began to see issues with the camera. Moving beyond those though, I started taking test pictures using all of the different settings available. I then loaded the images to my PC and began looking at them. What I viewed was very disappointing. First off, the images were not sharp. Secondly, the colors seemed muted and they were not very accurate to what the actual scene looked like. Lastly and on closer examination, I was stunned to see large amounts of purple fringing. This is a problem I would expect on earlier generations of digital cameras, but not now and not on a Canon. What is really sad is that purple fringing is most common in high contrast areas; with my test pictures high contrast scenes were not the case. The purple fringing explained the lack of punch, sharpness, and color accuracy. Thinking I may have received a defective camera I did some Googling. To my surprise I found other people were reporting the same problem with this camera.

I have to tell ya, prior to this Canon purchase I had used a Kodak Z650. The images I get from the Kodak blow away anything I got out of the Canon. Needless to say, the Canon was returned for refund. (I want to thank Amazon for the quick and painless processing of the return.)

Here are some other issues I found with this camera:

1. The selector wheel that is used to navigate within the menus did not translate properly. I found myself spinning it around several times before it would begin moving the cursor. Along with that there was a stickiness to it. It would stick and you'd have to apply more pressure for it to turn, this in turn caused the cursor to jump father than you wanted to go. It was frustrating to use. You can get around all that by pressing the dial down in the corners for the direction you want to go. That seemed to translate well but it is more time consuming. One click equals one position in the menu. If you want to reach the end of the menu you'd have to click your way through one position at a time.

2. I feel the menu layout and functionality was poorly designed and not very intuitive. There are too many layers to navigate through and too many ways to get where you want to go. Here again, my Kodak does a much better job in accessing the options and settings. And just to be clear, the Kodak has many of the same SLR functions to choose from. My point being, it's pretty much an apples and apples comparison. The Kodak is extremely easy to navigate and very easy to learn. Canon could take some lessons from them. I'm not trying to sell Kodak here. The Kodak has it's own issues. The one main thing going for the Kodak is that it is capable of producing some stunning images, and that is the very least I'd expect from a camera.

3. The camera is pretty heavy as others have reported. It's not a problem for me but I think it is worth mentioning again.

4. I found that the lens cap falling off was not a problem for me, but taking it off was. I found this primarily true when you are using the lens shield that Canon supplies. It was difficult for me to fit my fingers between the inner lens shield wall and the lens cap where the releases are located. It was very clumsy and difficult to squeeze the tabs in order to release the cap.

I would have overlooked notes 1 to 4 if the image quality had been there. Sadly for me it wasn't.

Works perfect with my Canon photographic cam model SX20IS. I recommend it.I tied up the cap rope from the cam rope end. So it's comfortable when I put it off and back again, the cap just stays on the side of the cam.

I bought the Canon TX-1 while planning a trip to Yosemite National Park. I wanted a compact, light weight camera (its about the size/weight of a double deck of playing cards) that would take good quality video (it takes 720 HD) and still pictures (it does 7.1 MP). I was also looking for a camera that would be smart enough to have both automatic "point and shoot" settings with image stabilization (for pictures on the fly) and extensive manual control of features like flash (supression/fill), ISO (it does 80-1600), etc. (when I had more time to compose my shots/use a tripod). I also wanted a powerful zoom (it has a 10x mechanical zoom) to bring in distant targets--think Bridel Viel Falls from Tunnel View. At the same time I wanted to be able to take extreme close ups of flowers, water droplets, or what have you (it has an excellent macro mode which operates even for HD video--you should see my inch worm monster movie!). I'm also happy that the TX-1 uses SD picture cards allowing for essentially limitless storage, remember HD video takes up a LOT of memory and a rigid hard disk size would have been to limiting (I like to use 16GB SD cards which hold about 45-50 minutes of video or up to 3000 stills or a proportional mix of each). It has a lithium-ion battery which lasts about 45-50 mins. with normal use of zoom, flash, etc. (conveniently this is about as long as a 16GB SD card will allow you to shoot HD video--note that the codec Canon uses allows you to shoot video in up to 15 minute segments--about 4.5 GB or the size of a DVD). This is not usually a problem, as most videos are much shorter, and if need be you can start recording again almost immediately. Canon's codec is also provides for very good picture quality and color balance even with playback on a 46" 1080p HDTV. Their included software is quick and easy to use especially for downloading images, photo stiching, basic editing, and sending prints to my canon printer. I do have some nitpicks. It has a built in flash which allows still photography in dark conditions, but the video quality does suffer somewhat in low light (try the HI ISO setting it helps). Its small size does take some getting used to, but once you are comfortable with it you'll love its portability. I find it necessary to carry several SD cards and several batteries when out in the field, since the batteries take about 90 minutes to charge (I do this overnight). The camera strap is a sturdy but bulky leather contraption which is totally at odds with the rest of the cameras design--I replaced it immediately with one from an old relic I don't use anymore. Overall this camera is an amazing machine, small, lightweight, versatile and most importantly produces high quality stills and video. Finally, my father-in-law (a fellow techie/gadget monger) was so impressed with (or jealous of?) my new toy that he ran out and bought one too--how's that for an endorsement!

I ordered this as a replacement for the lens cover that came with my camera (Canon SX20 IS). I lost the original cover because it was not attached to the camera. I really appreciate the strap that keeps this cover attached so I can't lose it! Lens Cap with String Leash Strap for Canon Powershot SX10IS, SX10, SX20IS, SX20, and IS Digital Camera - The Camera Hunter Replacement It's a perfect fit, a good value, and worth every penny.

REALITY CHECK! I am a "camera freak," I just love the things. I own the SX10 (and previously a stack of other digital cameras ... starting with that SONY MAVICA with the 3.5" diskettes a LONG time ago), and love it. I previously owned the S5, and it was also excellent. I bought the SX10 for the awesome LENS CAPABILITIES, and have not been disappointed whatsoever. It takes magnificent pics, has that enormous range, is COMPACT, and has that "heft" to it that gives it the feel of a "serious" camera. Now: for the REALITY CHECK: I just bumped into the Canon 40D and 50D models at a local store. You've seen them: big, hefty, big lcd (without the cover the SX10 has ... can already visualize the SCRATCHES from shirt buttons, etc.), big lenses with those ridges on them that seem to beg you to pick it up and zoom in/out. Then I remembered: I bought the 30D some time ago. Bought all the lenses, external flash, cards, batteries, case, etc. Took it home and, after the battery pack was charged, went into the picture taking drill. I was shocked! A cheaper camera that I had took brighter/clearer pics than this EXPENSIVE get-up I just bought! I took a stack of pics with both: same result. I brought that set back to the place where purchased and that was that. There is no doubt that the 30D was worth the price, to demanding pros, but not to me. And this is the point I am trying to make: for the AVERAGE 'JOE' or 'Jill', you probably don't need all the bells 'n whistles these advanced DSLRs certainly deliver. If you are NOT a pro, NEEDING to manipulate a zillion settings manually and exchange lenses to match what you want to accomplish, this SX10 is probably gonna be PERFECT for you! You will not have to buy an array of EXPENSIVE add-on lenses (read the reviews for the 50D, for example, and you will see that super camera is, in the end, "lense dependent" ... that is: the end results will depend on the quality of "the glass" you have attached. This can get to be a VERY expensive proposition for all but the very serious pros). If you, like me, just want GOOD PICTURES without all the fuss, then ... in my very humble opinion ... this SX10 is probably all you will need for the remainder of your time on the planet :-) (I will admit, after putzing with both the 40D and 50D, I found it hard to walk away without buying one/the other. It's almost impossible to not be overly impressed with their great appearance, obvious wealth of options, and "heft" value. But, remembering my experience with the 30D, and the fact I obviously was not ready for multiple lenses, and the complexities involved with high-end cameras, I walked away). You can read the attached excellent reviews on the SX10 to find all about batteries, external flashes, bags, etc.

Wishing to add a comment/two about certainly real concerns that run through these reviews: LOSING THE LENS CAP and DROPPING THE CAMERA. For the initial concern: go to RITZ CAMERA, for instance (AMAZON probably also sells this), and buy the QUANATRAY LENS CAP LEASH. It affixes to the lens cap and the camera body, problem solved for $1.99. As far as DROPPING the thing ... DON'T!! I use the CANON WRIST STRAP (bought mine via EBAY) and really like it. A thin over-the-neck strap came with the unit (which I don't particularly like), USE IT! But, do ensure the LCD SCREEN is COVERED when walking around with that neck strap to not scratch the lcd with shirt buttons, etc.

UPDATE: 2-17-09: I'M BACK ... again. I could not resist the urge to get another SLR. I bought a real GOOD one, bought more lenses, flash, etc. AND, just like the one I brought back before, I BROUGHT THIS ONE BACK! The BOTTOM LINE is: THE PICTURE. This expensive array did NOT take better pics than the CANON SX10IS! I am sticking with this GREAT Canon FOREVER! It does EVERYTHING ... and in a wonderful small package. No lenses to lug around and have to change as the scene demands ... just zoom on from 28mm to 560mm(!) without missing a beat. Super camera!

Regards.

This is my first digital camera - I prefer film, as I have been a relatively serious amateur since age 13, (now 74), and I bought a digital only for the ability to download to a computer. The technical quality of the images is usually good, but I prefer being able to make my own settings with f-stops, shutter speed and focus.
The A100IS has the options for manual control, but because of the poorly organized instruction manual, and the complex and unintuitive menu organization I have found it difficult to work with this camera with any assurance of success. It is just too complex for me. So - I have pretty much gone back to my film cameras - that way I know I won't miss the important moment that won't come again. (If there was a digital camera that was completely manual and had no more user-controls than the film cameras I would pay a premium for it.)
The world seems to have forgotten the advantages of "simplicite', simplicite', toujours simplicite'

Let's face it ... the point n' shoot digital camera market is saturated with quality cameras that all are capable of delivering good quality photographs. However ... Canon is one of the few that offers some features others don't. First and foremost is a VIEWFINDER. While it may not seem like a big deal ... a viewfinder is critical when shooting outdoors in bright sunlight. (Ever tried looking at an LCD screen when the sun is at your back?) Another feature I prefer is that this camera operates on two double A batteries which are available almost everywhere. If you prefer rechargeable batteries, they are also available but double A's are a nice option when your rechargeables run out of juice. Lastly, I find the Canon controls to be simple and intuitive for most users. The large LCD screen is very crisp and the ergonomics very good with a "grip" molded into the sleek body. This is certainly a top contender if you are in the market.

This camera takes beautiful photos and is so easy to use.
Batteries last a long time.

The only downside is that there is no auto-flash option... well, there is, but you have to remember to manually lift the flash in order for it to work. That's kind of lame. Really lame, actually.

But I still love this camera!

Especially the non-proprietary USB connection and the fact that it takes two AA batteries.

The first one I ordered was broken, the second one I ordered was also broken. (same part was broken; looked a lot like the same camera I had sent back)I am now waiting for my refund. Will let you know if that goes smoothly. Was impressed with the quick response to my emails about the defective cameras so we shall see how the refund goes, but I was not happy with having to pay $13.94 each time I had to send the camera back. That is $27.88 that I should not have had to pay. Update: They agreed to refund my money for the camera. Problem was they only refunded $221.60 but the camera cost me $277.00. So far they have not answered my email as to why they are not refunding the whole amount. Will post more when I know more.

I bought my Canon PowerShot A590 IS about six months ago and I'm very happy with the purchase. My main use for the camera was to take pictures of faces, groups of people, places, and business images for posting on my website [...] Example pictures would be office buildings, conference rooms with chairs, people working at laptops etc. This camera is so easy to use and has so many features that I don't think I can include all of them here so I'll focus on only my top favorites.

AA Battery Power
#1 favorite feature of the Canon PowerShot A590 is that it uses AA batteries. What that means is that I (or you) don't have to stop and plug the camera into a wall outlet and wait for the battery to recharge. No, I can simply carry a few extra AA batteries in my camera case and if I find myself taking 200 or more pictures in one afternoon, I can just replace the batteries and continue taking pictures. The camera warns you of a low battery power situation with an indicator located on the display. If you don't want to keep buying AA batteries, you can use rechargeable AA batteries and keep an extra, fully charged set of those batteries in your camera bag, handbag, or backpack.

Large 2.5 inch LCD Screen
#2 favorite feature is the large 2.5-inch LCD screen with face detection technology and red eye correction. The display is very big. You can easily see what you want to photograph without having to squint your eyes. The image is clear and bright. If you are taking a picture of a person's face, you can clearly see whether or not the person is ready and the picture will be good or if you have to give him/her some coaching to get a good facial expression. (eyes open, etc) You can make the camera focus on a certain face in a group or an object by pressing the picture button down only half way and looking in the display. You will see a square appear around the face/object and if that's what you want the camera to focus on then you press the button down all the way to snap the picture. The camera has three options to fix red-eye but as of yet, I have not had any pictures which came out with a red-eye issue.

No Blurry Pictures
#3 favorite feature is the 4x optical image stabilized zoom. What this means is the camera has a technology that will keep your pictures from coming out blurry even if you move your hands a little or your subject moves a little bit. So far, I have not had any pictures with a blurry image.

Easy Downloading and Printing
#4 favorite feature and maybe the best. Easy printing - this camera features a Print/Share button for easy direct printing to a printer or downloading to your computer.

So to download your pictures from the camera to your computer or laptop, just connect the USB cable to your camera and connect the other end to your computer's USB connection (any of them). Once it's connected and your camera is ON and in the picture review mode, whatever picture software you have installed on your computer will open automatically. Next, you'll select the menu choice to "download" the pictures to your computer. (I use Adobe software for digital photos.) When the pictures are downloaded to your picture directory, you'll see a new folder added with the current date. You can delete the pictures from your Canon camera after they've finished downloading by either choosing the "delete" menu option in your picture software program or by using the menu button on the back of the camera itself. The menu button is easy to see on the back of the camera and is the starting point for pretty much any feature you are interested in using. Just press the menu button and then use the "func set" button to scroll down the menu list which you'll see on the LCD display.

To sum up my thoughts about the Canon PowerShot A590 IS camera, I would have to say it's very easy to use, takes great pictures, and is very inexpensive. I highly recommend this camera.

I purchased this camera from a pawn shop, while I was trying it out the battery light kept flashing, I thought no big deal it just needs batteries. So I bought it and I have been replacng the batteries ever since, y the 3rd picture it shuts off. It does take great pics though but you just can't take a few and choose your fave cause you can only take a couple at a time.

Great camera in power shot series. Canon A630 is best of the best. Manual exposure controls are very easy to use and it has an attractive design.

I'm not a super-savvy photographer, just somebody who wants to take a decent picture. This camera does all the work for me and makes me look like I know what I'm doing.

Most of the time I keep it set on Auto, so the camera figures out whether a flash is necessary, what the ISO setting needs to be, all that stuff, and makes it happen. I set up the shot and press the button, and the photo comes out great.

I have tried some of the other specialty settings, like Floral, for taking close-ups of flowers, and that does help to bring out the colors without over-exposing them with the flash. I've also tried Nighttime and Aquarium settings, and those both were very helpful. Ones I want to try but haven't only because I haven't been in the right environment yet are Fireworks and Beach. The point is, it's very user-friendly for someone who doesn't know a whole lot about what they're doing.

A friend told me he thought I didn't need 10 megapixels, but I quietly disagreed with him. I do a lot of stuff in print publishing, so I know that the resolution of photos matters. I got 10 megapixels because I figured I wouldn't have to worry about resolution or size issues, and I was not wrong. Every photo I've taken would work just fine in a print format.

Downloading the photos is pretty easy. Sometimes my PC forgets where the program is, even when I have the camera plugged into it, so I have to find the program instead of having it launch automatically. Once I've got the program running, though, it pretty much manages itself. Then it brings up a viewer that allows me to see and edit the photos one at a time, or play them in a slide show.

Here are the few, minor downsides I've discovered so far. Those specialty settings are a little buried in the menus, so the first couple of tries I couldn't remember how to get to them. Same thing with some of the more advanced, do-it-yourself features. I wanted to take a photo of the full moon and I knew there was a way to adjust the ISO settings manually, but I couldn't figure that out without the manual in my hand. Since I didn't happen to have the manual with me up at the top of the mountain, I was out of luck.

The biggest downside (and it's not even that big) is this camera burns through batteries like they're matchsticks. I'll use the camera over a period of a few hours, turning the camera off when it's not in use or letting it "sleep" or shut itself off when it wants to. After three or four of those types of sessions, it tells me it needs new batteries. If I've used the flash a lot or if I've taken movies, the batteries burn up much faster. I haven't tried using rechargeable AA's in there yet, but I think I'm going to give that a go.

The battery compartment is kind of tricky to open. You have to slide a button forward and then slide the cover off to the right. It's hard to hold the button forward and push to the right at the same time, so I usually have to work at it a few times before I can get it open.

You'll also want to purchase a case to carry & protect this, and a memory card with lots of capacity. I got an 8 MB memory card, which in this camera can hold 2500 photos at a time. I haven't even come close to filling it up yet.

Overall, the camera was definitely worth the price. I've made a point of noticing when I've been at stores that sell this camera, and nobody else has had it available for a lower price.

This is a nice camera with a solid feel to it. It was a replacement for my previous camera, a Canon SX130, which was stolen and which was very good. The SX 150 has been upgraded for zoom and megapixels and has now probably reached the limit of what ordinary users like myself will need. Most people will not use all the features but it is nice to know they are there. I wish it was a bit cheaper but it is still good value for a camera of its performance.

Bought this camera for my daughter, so she could have fun taking pictures but also learn the fundamentals of taking excellent pictures. There is no other camera out there that has this cameras combination of simple point and shoot and sophisticated control. And that's why this camera - which retailed for $100 new is still worth that much now.

The lens cap does snap in place on my SX20 somewhat, but it doesn't not snap into place completely because the plastic hole for the tether string hits against the lens frame before the cap snaps in all the way.

At least the lens is covered now (which I appreciate, since I lost the loose original Canon cap with 10 camera uses!), but I'd feel more satisfied if the cover snapped in completely and properly.

I'm a fairly serious hobby photographer and have used the previous model Canon SX100 in addition to the latest SX110. Everything about it is slightly better than the older model, so all the past reviews on the SX100 and praises still apply. The SX110 is like the cheaper version of the Canon G10 (minus RAW, wide angle, flash hotshoe, and build quality), but the CHDK mod could close the gap even more with advanced features. Here's my summary of likes and dislikes:

Likes:

- Superb image quality for a compact camera, lens corner to corner sharpness, minimum color fringing, and detail vs noise tradeoff are all better than other cameras in its class.

- Manual controls (PASM), exposure compensation, contrast/saturation/sharpness adjustments, custom white balance, flash intensity are all adjustable.

- 3" LCD screen with 230k resolution, average specs for new generation cameras today. Viewable from a wide angle, and visible in bright sunny conditions.

- 9 Megapixels is good for most large prints, more megapixels would've meant more noise without much improved detail due to physical light diffraction limits.

- Good 10x zoom all the way to 360mm equiv.

- Macro mode focuses all the way close to 1cm (less than half an inch).

- Fast lens, meaning the aperture doesn't get too small as you zoom in so a fast shutter speed can still be used to freeze action far away or in dim conditions.

- Optical image stabilization works well giving about 2 stops advantage.

- AA batteries are great, get the pre-charged (aka hybrid) NiMH and you can get consistently 400-500 shots per recharge. Also don't have to worry about lost charger on a trip. Better for the environment long-term than proprietary batteries that only fit one camera.

Dislikes:

- Wide angle not wide enough (28mm would've been better than 36mm)

- Minor barrel distortion at the wide angle, only noticeable when there are straight edges in the frame, they look curved.

- The zoom setting is not displayed, it only pops up briefly when you change the zoom, and it's not exact. A better solution would've been to always display the 35mm equiv value. Also a zoom resume or preset would be nice, so when camera is powered off and on, it resumes the zoom it was in before. This does happen when the camera powers off to save battery, but not all settings are restored in that situation, such as the drive mode or macro focus settings.

- No optical zoom during video recording and HD video, only 640x480 30 fps highest quality.

- The software interface is outdated and unintuitive sometimes. Turning auto ISO shift on should AUTOMATICALLY shift the ISO (like older SX100), not requiring the press of the "print" button after half pressing the shutter. Some of the features require a lot of button presses. Also auto-power off mode only has option of off or 3 mins, and lens retract in playback is either immediate or 1 min, there should be values in between.

- Image noise is noticeable at ISO 800 & higher, not unexpected for a small sensor camera. Maybe if Canon used a slightly bigger sensor like 1/1.6" instead of 1/2.3"...

- No live histogram. For a serious camera with manual controls, live histogram should be an option instead of only available after the image is taken.

- The command wheel is only good for scrolling through a long list, but I would've preferred a less finicky button interface. Sometimes it's easy to accidentally scroll a value when you meant to press the button or vice versa.

- Flash recycle can take 7-10 seconds after a full power discharge, but not a big deal since I don't use the on-camera flash much (I use natural lighting with higher ISO sensitivities, or an external slave flash triggered by the camera's flash). It's one of the tradeoffs of using AA batteries.

I admit the dislikes are very nit-picky, overall this is a great camera, but I'm writing them here so that either Canon or one if its competitors can pick up on these issues and improve on them in future models.

I bought the Canon Powershot TX1 in September 2007 to replace both a 3.2 MP Canon S30 still camera and a Sony DV camcorder. I selected the 720p/7 MP TX1 over the 720p/7 MP Sanyo HD700 and 1080i/4 MP Sanyo HD1000 because the TX1 (1) is a digital camera first (with Canon's reputation for photo quality) and a camcorder second, (2) has the smallest form factor (slightly thicker than Digital Elph), and (3) has excellent build quality.

Having used the TX1 now for 7 months--photographing/videoing my new baby daughter on a daily basis, on weekend trips, and on our 2-week Mexico beach vacation--I rate the TX1 a solid four stars and give Canon a thumbs up for a strong first effort.

Here's how I break things down:

Video:
The TX1 records its 720p video using the same inefficent Motion JPEG (MJPEG) codec that Canon uses in the rest of its cameras (in the AVI container/file format), as opposed to the modern H.264/AVC or AVCHD codec. The result are huge file sizes: an 8 GB SDHC flash card only hold 28 min of 720p video in the TX1 (though each file itself can be no bigger than 4 GB; this is a limitation of the FAT32 file system of SDHC and not the fault of the TX1), while an H.264/AVC or AVCHD camcorder can compress some 80 min of *1080i* video in the same 8 GB card (it's bitrate-dependent, of course). There is, however, the option of setting the 720p recording to 'LP' mode, which doubles the recording time, giving 56 min of 720p video on an 8 GB card--but I haven't tested how noticeable the degradation in quality is.

Still, huge file sizes are not a deal breaker--just buy a couple of extra 8 or 16 GB flash cards or, better yet, an external travel hard drive with a built in flash card reader such as the Digital Foci Photo Safe (which worked great on our Mexico trip!). A tip: buy fast SHDC Class 6 cards (not Class 2 or 4)--you'll need it for smooth video recording. What the MJPEG codec does have going for it versus H.264/AVC or AVCHD is that virtually any Pentium4-class PC can play it using virtually any media player (Windows Media Player, Real Player, or Quicktime). And MJPEG can be edited by most video editors. This isn't true of H.264/AVC or AVCHD files, which, while efficient, requires significantly more computing power special software to decode/play back and, in particular, to edit.

What kind of video quality do you get in these huge files? In well-lighted environments (daytime outdoors, mainly), the quality is quite good--definitely better than 720x480 DV. Having been stuck in standard-def camcorder land up until now, I found myself smiling with satisfaction at the new-found clarity and detail in the TX1's 720p video and marvelling at how Canon managed to pack HD resolution into a pocket cam. Still, I have to confess that the resolution, despite being nominally 720p, looks softer on my 50-inch 720p Panasonic plasma than what I expect true 720p video to be. It's certainly not as good as a dedicated 1080i HD camcorder (video from my friend's JVC 1080i Everio camcorder of the same beach shots looks crisper and has more detail). And in low-light (evening indoor situations without good lighting), forget about it--the TX1's video becomes grainy, and much detail is lost. Because of its small lens and CCD, low light performance is even worse than my old Sony DV camcorder.

Nevertheless, with the TX1, these days, I no longer lug around both a camera and camcorder (plus all the requisite extra batteries, chargers, and big DV tapes) when I travel. I know full well the TX1's video limitations, so I accept the trade-off for portability.

Photos:
I'm no photography expert so I won't go in depth. Suffice it to say that the TX1 photo feature set and photo quality appear equivalent to current-generation canon Digital Elph cameras with Image Stabilization and Face Detection, but with the added bonus of a 10x optical zoom somehow shoe-horned in. Once the camera is turned on, the lens extends out of the body about 3/4 inch, and regardless of zoom, it doesn't extend any further. This 10x zoom lets you boldly go where few other pocket cams dare go and IMHO is almost enough to justify the TX1 price premium over a Digital Elph even if you don't use the HD video.

The manual controls are limited to basic exposure and a white balance calibration mode; there are, of course, various canned shooting modes like 'night,' 'portrait,' 'beach,' 'snow,' etc., and various useless canned color schemes like 'sepia,' 'B&W,' etc.

It's worth noting that the TX1 allows you to take photos while recording video without switching modes, though with a brief 1.5-sec pause in the video for each photo taken. This is a killer feature that regular cameras (that I know of) don't have. No more 'mommy takes photos with the camera while daddy holds the camcorder' or figuring out whether to grab the camera or camcorder when the baby decides to try out a new trick sh

I bought my Canon Powershot A550 to replace my A530. I gotta say, I'm not impressed. I miss the full manual controls my A530 had. One thing I've noticed with this camera is if you don't have brand-new batteries (Or fully charged NIMH), it won't take low-light pictures. The flash just won't work. Also, the default ISO settings for video recording are very grainy and look horrible. If you're looking to replace the A530, I wouldn't recommend this camera. However, it would make a pretty good camera for someone who is just getting into photography. The increased resolution and screen size are the only things I really like.

I researched for a long time on the different brands out there. I have had Canon products for many years (was a professional) and decided to stick with them.
This camera is absolutley amazing. The PQ is outstanding as is the video quality. I was blown away by that.
We recently had a snow storm and I took night photos (tripod) and the photos were excellent. I then took more photos the next morning and they were outstanding. The photos were of trees with heavy snow on one side. Great contrast between the snow and the bark. The trees were about 30 - 200 feet away. And all photos were taken through a window! They almost appeared to be HD quality. If anyone doubts this, I will gladly email you some samples.
The camera is feature packed and some have complained about this (too many settings). My advice would be to get a cheaper digital that you may feel is easier. But for a novice it is still a great camera since you can put it on full 'auto' and get exceptional photos. Then you can learn at your pace. But I would recommend this camera just for the PQ alone.
A friend of mine had a new Olympus and after seeing this camera and it's PQ, they returned the Olympus and bought this one.

Pros: - Everything
Cons: - None

Let me address some other users "cons".
* Poor battery life - This camera has excellent battery life. I had an older HP digital and the batteries kept dying after about 30 shots, then 20, then 10 then nothing. I thought it was the camera. Turns out it was the batteries. I was using a fast charger (30') and that killed them. I educated myself about batteries and found that you need a good charger that is capable of charging at different rates. The fast chargers are harmful and will prematurely end the batteries life.

My friend who had the Olympus had the same problem. New batteries and was only getting about 30 photos. She thought it was the camera. I took her batteries and charged them in the Maha C9000 charger and after the first charge, she got over 180 photos (test) with the same batteries.
GET A GOOD BATTERY CHARGER AND YOU WILL SEE A MAJOR DIFFERANCE WITH ANY DEVICE.
Another 'con' mentioned was about poor indoor shooting quality. The camera has an 'indoor' mode that takes away the tungsten lighting effect and gives great PQ. Of course you still need the flash. I took photos of Grandchildren moving indoors and the PQ was great again. Even without the "indoor" setting the PQ was great.

As mentioned, I was blown away about the PQ of video. It was THAT good. Granted, if you put the setting on "320" which is the setting for emailing, then you will see some PQ degradation. But on the upper quality settings it is outstanding. With a 2GB memory card, you can get about 18' of video on the highest quality setting. About 45' on the lowest setting.

Of course, the camera, will have features you will never use, but it's merits are the PQ and overall features. The macro setting is excellent also. You can get within a 1/2" of the object. The detail it shows is terrific also.

As you can see, I can't rave enough about this camera. I do NOT work for Canon or have any affiliation with them. It's just that I am that pleased with this camera.

A word on their customer support. Great!
I emailed them with a question AFTER I bought the camera (locally). Their Web site says they will get back to you within 24 hours. I was skeptical. Were talking CANON, not Mom & Pop.
They answered me in 12 hours!

Great camera... just remember to educate yourself on batteries. This is important. It's the batteries that are failing BUT it's the CHARGER thats making them fail, prematurely.
Go to a site like "Thomas Distributing" and you can get a lot of information there. STAY AWAY FROM THE CHEAP FAST CHARGERS.

I bought this camera in Febuary 2009. It takes amazing pictures. The picture quality was always really clear and sharp, even when at the maximum zoom. By far the best Camera I have owned to date. (I have had olympus and nikon cameras previously) I have used it in both extreams as far as temperature and weather and have always been satified with the results. When I was using it hiking in the mountians this past Febuary, it was about -20 outside and in the middle of a blizard, the camera functioned properly and never failed me. It also took great pictures even in the low light conditions and also in the extream light conditions with the fresh snow all around. The manual functions are a lot better to use than the auto focus, which I loved because it was easy to use. I have also used this in the middle of the desert in dry heat of about 110 and in the jungle with temperature of 90 and 80% humidity. Every time it worked well and I had no problems. The only complaint I have is the 2 AA batteries that power it do not last very long. I ended up purchasig some rechargeable batteries for it and it extended the life of the camera to shooting all day instead of a few hours. It is small enough I can fit it in my packpack when hiking, and I have no problem accessing it. I love the abilty to take clear photos even when my hands are shaking. Overall I am really impressed with this camera and would suggest anyone who wants to buy a good camera this one.

We purchased this camera over a year ago. Since then I have missed many pictures due to low batteries. We have tried all different brands of batteries with the same results. We thought maybe we could use AA rechargeable batteries but the instructions state not to use this type of battery. When they first start to die, it takes FOREVER for the camera to write the picture to the card, therefore you miss the next shot because you are waiting for the camera to reset. It is not good in low light, therefore you need to use the flash more often, making the battery life even worse! We took the camera to a 1 hour children's breakfast with a fresh set of batteries and by the end of breakfast had a low battery warning. I decided to write this review, because after 1 year of owning this camera, I am back at amazon looking for another point and shoot. I am embarrassed to see how much I paid for this! I could have bought a Canon G series for this price (the G series size is not all that much bigger)! I own a Canon G2 and it is one of the best cameras I have ever owned.

Things I liked:
- Video mode takes nice videos for computer use (youtube, facebook etc.) I am not sure how they look on a regular TV.
- Canon menus and settings are easy to understand. I own or have owned at least 5 Canon cameras.
- Had problems with other Canon cameras and the power switch being too easy to accidentally turn on the camera. Not a problem with this one.

Things I did not like:
- Battery life is terrible. I did not have this problem with the canons that use dedicated rechargeable batteries.
- poor in low light. Did not notice that IS made the low light pics any better. Have to use flash almost always.
- Slow to reset, especially as battery gets low
- Slow to focus, especially as battery gets low
- Plastic feels cheap and shows signs of cracking and wear after 1 year of use
- Price. You can get lots more for your money.

I own a DSLR and consider myself a photography enthusiast. I wanted a small compact camera with me when I don't want to lug around my DSLR + lenses and equipment. After a previous good experience with the Canon A720 IS, the new A590 IS seemed like a good choice. Since I'm an advanced photographer, I'll focus on the advanced features of this camera. The auto modes work as well as any other camera in its class, but the extensive manual features is what sets apart the Canon A series. What I like about the camera:

+ Compact, stylish. It's smaller than older A Powershots, and the dark grey color gives it a seriousness compared to the typical bright silver finish.

+ Image stabilization works very well, it allows me to take blur-free photos 2-3 stops below the recommended shutter speed, that means at 35-50mm f2.8 1/10 sec shots are CONSISTENTLY possible indoors without using flash.

+ Good image quality. Expected from Canon, but even better is adjustable contrast, saturation, and sharpness settings, along with the typical JPG compression and resolution sizes.

+ Fast and responsive. I was surprised how responsive this camera is even compared with my DSLR. Shutter lag is very low for a compact digicam, and when I pre-focus with manual focus, it's even faster.

+ Manual modes. Aperture priority and shutter priority are great, the M mode is even better than other A Powershots such as the A720 because now there's a light meter on the right side that adjusts live based on what the camera thinks is the optimal exposure setting. And you can adjust aperture/shutter speed and see how it affects the final exposure. Ideally a live histogram would be even better, but this is very handy.

+ Manual focus. Although the LCD resolution is not good enough, even with the point zoom option, manual focus helps in close-up work and pre-focusing for action or creative photography.

+ Manual flash modes. In addition to automatic flash. The manual flash allows me to adjust the flash power in 3 levels, and prevents a pre-flash. This last part is important for using a remote optical slave flash. I can basically take professional looking studio pictures with this camera with my external flash equipment.

+ Optical viewfinder. I don't use this much yet, but can come in handy in bright sunlight conditions, or when battery conservation is needed.

+ Battery performance seems improved over previous A powershots too. The official specs give it 220 shots on regular alkalines and 500 on rechargeable NiMHs. Good news is they use common AA batteries that you can buy anywhere instead of proprietary models with specific chargers.

Now the negatives. I hope Canon can improve these aspects in their future models.

- Slow flash recycle times. This is to be expected from a camera that takes AA batteries. Would be nice if the LCD didn't blank out after a full flash discharge. Not a big deal since I use an external flash anyway, and the camera's flash is manually set to medium output as trigger (so recharge is faster). I would not want to give up the AA battery convenience for a faster flash recycle time though.

- Higher resolution LCD. The 2.5" 115k resolution LCD is ok for framing and casual browsing, but higher resolution would be nice.

-Live histogram while shooting. This feature is available when reviewing a photo, but not live. Other manufacturers have implemented this, and Canon should also, especially since the unofficial CHDK software mod allows such a feature.

- Larger aperture would be nice. Such as f/2.0 (instead of f/2.6) at the wide end, and f/4.0 (instead of f/5.5) at the telephoto end. That way a lower (& less noisy) ISO can be used in dim conditions or when fast shutter speeds are needed to freeze action. All the electronics in the world can't replace a good large lens. Also allows more creative depth of field control.

- A wider wideangle would be nice, 28mm instead of 35mm (35mm equiv). I'd rather see a wider wideangle than a longer zoom.

- Video feature is not ideal. Optical zoom is not available during recording of video. And the more efficient MPEG4 compression is not used, so video files tend to be large. Also noticed at 640x480 resolution, the highest fps is now 20 instead of 30 from other A models. A definite step backwards.

- Noise at higher ISOs. This is due to the smaller sensor on compact cameras. But 8 MP is probably the most pixels that can be crammed into a small 1/2.5" sensor. I'd rather have a cleaner picture at 6-7 MP than a noisy 8 MP picture. And if in-camera noise reduction is used, I'd like to see an adjustable setting for how much is being applied.

- And if I were to be really critical: There's no indicator of what optical zoom level I'm at. Slight image noise is noticeable even at ISO 80 when I zoom in really close on a monitor view.

I really appreciate these reviews. As an owner of this camera, I find them more informative than the manual itself, or lack there of. What troubles me most about this product is the difficulty to achieve good focus. Most often in dark, indoor settings, such as a dance floor at a wedding. I must convey that that I have far better luck with my 6 year old Olympus Camedia 3.2 pixel camera in these situations, on the automatic setting. I've had great success with this camera in daylight, particularly close-ups of plant life and wild life. Dark settings of people is really kicking my rear. So much so that I feel I've taken far better shots in these environments with a disposable camera back in the day. For instance, I can't seem to get an entire wedding party in focus at the church alter. I've tried the "mountain/cloud" setting without great results. Can't seem to adjust flash, ISO settings very well with that setting, or not at all. Even in good daylight environments, parts of the pictures are out of focus. And yes, I use a decent tripod (a Manfrotto whenever possible) to minimize shake. The manual says that if the camera beeps twice, and shows a green square in the view finder before you press the shutter button all the way down, then you're all good. In my experience, not so very often. I'm in no way saying I'm a pro photographer, but I'd sure like to learn how to be one. My profession is graphic design and I've dabbled in photography as a need-to-do-it basis. And I like it and I'm having fun doing it. But having to fix two thirds of my shots in post-shot applications (i.e. photoshop, et al) is kickin' my butt. In closing, I'd like to assure this audience that this is not necessarily a bad review of this product. More so, it is a call for help. Any suggestions from you folks would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, and happy shootin'.

I've read almost all the reviews here, and there is nothing major for me to add. I do have some minor points to add, however. I am using this camera for more than a month now, and overall I am very pleased, even though a few things does bother me.

First of all, I miss the wide angle zoom. Canon released the G10 and the SX10 (20x super zoom) at the same time along with the SX110, the other 2 got the wide-angle lens, but not the SX110. Why? I would anytime pick a wide-angle and 9x zoom over the 10x zoom.

Also, Canon features the new Digic 4 processor on the other 2 cameras, while in the SX110 it is still the older Digic III. It's not bad, but I would appreciate the newer technology with the i-Contrast and more.

The SX10 (with 20x zoom) lets you zoom (optical) during video recording; However with the SX110 (and G10) you can't zoom (only with the useless digital zoom).

The biggest problem, as many others pointed out, is the flash recharging time. I had several Canon's in the past (point & shoot), and have never encountered such a big delay between shots (when using flash).

I am upgrading from the PowerShot SD700, which was much faster between shots. The battery also lasted much longer. In overall, I am from those who appreciate Canon's battery pack over AA, even though I can not ignore the benefits of AA availability - and this is true even with the rechargeable AA's - I just don't like them.

A major drawback for me was when I found out that there is no battery meter. One of the things I hated in my older SD700 was the lack of a battery meter (it only notifies you when the battery is dead to replace it, no prior notice), and I was happy to see that since the release of the PowerShot SD1100 Canon added the battery meter so you always know how much juice you have left. I was looking forward for that on the SX110 as well... Well, I was wrong. Seems that Canon is unable to meter third party (AA) batteries! What a disappointment!

I also think that there is not enough grip. I would like the battery compartment a tad bigger, and some added rubber. The way it's now, it's a bit slippery. Also, the battery/card door is a little difficult to open and requires an extra unnecessary step of pulling a little piece before opening.

Another problem is the placement of the little speaker. I find it always covered with my left hand! The area on top left is a natural place for the fingers to sit; the speaker does not belong on this spot!

About the 3.0" LCD - when I first got my SX110, I was surprised at the nice 3.0" LCD - until I compared it to the 3.0" LCD of the Canon G10 which my friend bought at the same time - what a difference! The resolution is so much better on the G10, with double the amount of pixels (460,000 instead of the 230,000 on the SX110). (By the way, the new professional Canon EOS 50D has even double the pixels of the G10, for an unbelievable total of 920,000!!)

Also important to note, that this camera does not feature the "EDIT MOVIE" feature which most other Canon cameras does. That means no more cropping beginning/end of your clips! I really miss that!

Otherwise, I think this is an excellent overall camera. I am really impressed with the pictures, and they're better than the SD700, especially in lower light conditions. The image stabilizer also works a lot better. So much more flexible and all the controls are so useful. Manual raise/close flash is excellent and makes it very easy to control flash ON/OFF (and it's beyond me why they didn't the same on the G10); the face detection works great, and it will never overexpose a human face even with flash close to the face - which my old SD770 was terrible at it. Noise appears in higher ISO or in dim light conditions, but usually in most situations it's perfect, and definitely better than previous Canon's. Highly recommended!

Excellent camera and served me very well until I dropped it.

4 years on, and the pictures I took with it a better than a much newer camera with higher pixels.

I bought this to replace an S5IS, so I'll be comparing the 2 cameras. in some ways it is a better camera, but the old S5 still does a few things better.

The good:
HD Video: The 1080P movie capability is pretty awesome. Very few camcorders can do 1080P, but this camera does it, and does it pretty well. Movies are stable and look good, although a little jerky at times. The dedicated movie button is cool too.
Rapid shooting: 5 frames per second at full res is pretty amazing - this is DSLR territory.
LCD screen: the size and clarity are awesome, and the articulating feature is a must have for me. It would be perfect if not for the polarizing - see below.
Build quality: This is the most solid camera of this type that I've used. DSLR like.

The bad:
Picture quality: Canon went with a CMOS sensor to increase the speed, and it is fast, but the picture quality suffers. It is still pretty good, but pictures from the old trusty S5 are better - less noise, crisper, more detailed.
Controls: Canon went from increment buttons on the S5 to a thumb dial on the SX1. This is used to change ISO, shutter speed, aperture and other settings I regularly access. The dial is just fussy and hard to use.
Lens: Here I am comparing it with an S5 with a 1.8X teleconverter, achieving similar magnification. The the S5 images are better in every way, clearer with less distortion and fringing.
LCD screen: Great screen BUT, and this is a big one for me... it is polarized the wrong way! Arg. The S5 screen is polarized such that when wearing polarized sunglasses, you can clearly see the screen in landscape position. The SX1 screen is polarized 90 degrees off from the S5. In other words when looking at he screen in landscape position, it is totally black with polarized sunglasses. This is a big one for me, since I love polarized glasses, and like to be able to shoot without taking them off.
HD aspect ratio. You have to switch the camera from 4:3 to 16:9 to shoot HD video. Kind of a hassle switching back and fourth when shooting video & photos.

So I am using the SX1 mostly because of the HD feature. But aside from the build quality, HD, and still shooting speed, I prefer the old S5.

Execlent camera for traveling. It takes exclent pictures and very good close ups. The power comsumption is low and the batteries last a long time. I like that styling too. It takes a lickin and keeps on a ticken.
