I lost the lens cap cover that Canon provided. This lens cap cover fits better than the original and has the attached strap that is an awesome feature. I have it attached to my camera strap. No more camera without a lenscap cover !! My camera is TOO valuable not to have lens protection. Now why doesn't Canon provide this far supperior product with each of their cameras for FREE ??? I am so happy I found this online. I recommend this to anyone that requires it. We realized that it also fits my nephews Canon camera. He lost his lenscap as well. So I am ordering one for his birthday. It is a Godsend.

The SX1 IS is a very good camera in its price range, but make sure that you're going to use its features, and be aware of its drawbacks. As a high-end point and shoot, it generates pictures better than just about any compact and quite a few older DSLRs, but it is no substitute for even a modern budget DSLR like the Nikon D40 and at high resolution it has noticible noise at all but the slowest ISO settings. Its superfine JPEGs are very sharp, but people who expect full control over RAW will be disappointed at how comparatively little adjustment is possible (white balance, colour, and not much else). If you primarily shoot in 16:9 (as I do), then you will adore the widescreen LCD, but if you primarily shoot in 4:3 then you will find it vibrant but cropped. Video, especially in HD mode, is crystal clear and sharp with exceptional audio but difficult to play on all but very high end systems (PowerPC Macs need not apply) and you will want a big card. Plus, the camera is rather exhausting to hold through long video sessions. However, it is almost as good as my trusty Vixia HV-30.
If you're getting the idea that virtually every plus of this camera comes with a corresponding caveat (except for the AA batteries: it uses AA batteries instead of stupid custom charge paks, and it's very powerthrifty, so this is a big plus), you're right. I bought this camera *specifically* for its 16:9 capabilities and the ability to quickly frame widescreen panoramas, which put it in a very small group of cameras, and I do actually make use of its HD video capability from time to time. Thus, for my specific purposes, it performs admirably. People using it for professional print photography, however, will be disappointed by the image noise and the relatively few prosumer features. If you are primarily doing 4:3 or 3:2 images and you don't need (good) video, you would be better served by something else, and for those tasks I still use my Nikon SLR.
As a high-end amateur point and shoot, and a professional camera for certain niche uses such as my widescreen requirements, it is an exceptional camera in its class. Just remember to use program mode and ISO 80 for shots requiring high quality, and use a tripod. However, people who need the capability and low film noise of a DSLR, particularly for large prints, should look elsewhere unless you absolutely need HD video or 16:9; a Nikon D40x may serve you better.

I purchased this camera along time ago refurbished and it has been a great camera for me. I do not care if you can't see the the LCD screen really well in bright sunlight it has a viewfinder and takes good pictures. I purchased this to replace a Canon A85 which I loved but lost. The A85 got such good reviews I could'nt afford to buy it even if it was a couple years old by the time this one came out. The A550 got better reviews but I wanted the removable lense in which I could still use my converter lenses from the A85. It is true that the battary life is not good but if you have rechargable NIMH and replacements ready then you're all set. I have purchased newer more compact cameras. The Samsung L-200 and Olympus FE46 and I like them both but I like the battery option better than the rechargable battery because if you are taking pictures with my new ones and you run out of power you can't recharge them right away.

This camera is quite disappointing for its price.
Whilst standard snaps in great light look pretty good and are sharp, it has a 20x zoom lens and shoots full HD video, I found that the photos were often grainy and achieving shallow depth of field (where the background is out of focus but the foreground in focus) was near impossible. Whilst taking video I found that indoors in ample light, the footage was always very dark. You can correct this by setting the ISO speed higher, however after about 400 the footage or even photographs become unsuitably grainy.
After much thought I believe the problem is that the CMOS sensor is actually very small. To illustrate the point the Canon SX210 actually has exactly the same sized sensor, shoots 720p video and has takes higher MP photos.
Canon PowerShot SX210 IS Digital Camera - Black (14.1 MP, 14x Optical Zoom) 3.0 Inch PureColor LCD
I would seriously recommend looking at a four thirds camera which have a much larger sensor, are very similarly priced and can offer interchangeable lenses for those who may want to become a bit more pro in their photography without buying an SLR, or for a few quid more, go for a dSLR such as the D5000.
The camera is far from terrible, but for the price I firmly believe there are better options.

I bought this camera after a series of other Canon p&s camera (PowerShot series). I was very happy with Canon for the past 5+ years using either the powershot IS or the ELPH series cameras. Lately, I had a need for extra zoom for taking shots of kids at school stages, etc., so I reviewed several 'super zoom' cameras.
Pros:
o Zoom is great, although some reviews do not like that the camera shutter speed slows down as you zoom further out (at 20x, the fastest you get is 1/500)
o LCD vari-screen is quite helpful (as opposed to the fixed LCDs in P&S), specially when taking low shots of kids or birds, etc.
o I didn't miss many of the automatic scene options I got used to in prev Canon cameras
o I like the 'super macro' feature a lot. I took some close up shots of a basket of oranges - great professional focus on the near orange surface, with short depth of field, and blurred background!
Cons:
o In automode, I'm just not seeing the image sharpness in the 'normal' zoom range. The camera takes great shots of close-up pictures. Great details can be found when viewing on screen. But try something 5-10 feet, and the AF just doesn't lock sharply. Same in face-detection mode, even as the face is framed well. I compared very similar shots from powershot and this camera. It just doesn't look consistently sharp. Ocassionally I'd get one or two sharp ones, but then I've had to work quite hard to do that - several adjustments of aperture, speed, etc. like some very old SLR shots without any auto features.
o Images are very grainy, specially on the black colors even at low ISOs
o The highest resolution is 10M, then next down is 6M, which leaves a big gap on resolution. I'd prefer 10M, 9M, 8M, etc.
o The flash doesn't 'auto pop' in any mode. I'd have preferred that in 'auto' mode that it pops up (like one old SLR I had), to retain the feel of a P&S when needed
o I'd prefer a rechargeable battery. I take many pictures, so what is better to carry around, a large box of batteries or a charger?
o The sport mode is disappointing! I put it in sport mode and took several pictures of birds, some of my fish in the aquarium - not a single sharp shot! Yes, I have steady hands :-)
I'm somewhat happy with the features and superzoom and Canon's reputation. But, I'm not able to decide whether to try another camera before returning this. Some symptoms indicate I may need to learn a few techniques, but I think at least the automode and scene modes should do as expected from sub $200 cameras! I've had it for a week and taken shots in many situations, and I'm thinking of returning it.

This camera can take very good macros; however, in low light conditions it has a great deal of noise in all pictures. At 28mm, there was lens distortion which is to be expected, but for the very annoying barrel distortion. Another annoying feature was colour fringing, that was very difficult to correct. The worst feature was that the lens mechanism lasted for only 15 months, 3 months over the warranty period. In spite of these bad features, it could produce some very good pictures in good light, and it was very good for taking macros. It was an interesting camera to use, but the bottom line is that without a good lens you can not expect good pictures. There are less expensive better quality single lens cameras in the market place.

This tripos will do everything you need. It is lights and I like that it has a tote bag. If you are a professional and would use this often, I think it would wear out quicker than some of the more expensive models. However, for normal use, this will do the job well. I am satisfied with it.

Please let me first explain that I'm not in like manner, a digital photo freak.
Four years ago I used to run around with a much smaller (and simple) Canon digital camera (PowerShot A560 - 7.1 mp) but when I read about Canon's SX100IS and checked out its features, immediately fell in love with it!
I've been using it continuously for almost two years, never had a failure or a "lens error" message. Since I started to use this camera, I loaded it with a 8 GB SDHC card and took all my pictures in the Auto mode with excellent results. I paid $300 for the camera, the SDHC card and carrying case (including taxes, because I live out of the U.S.) but I think I got a good price anyway!
The photo quality is REALLY GOOD for a camera with such lens size (and price level). The 10X optical zoom feature is A MUST for close-up shots!!!
Even open range and skyline photos (sunsets at the beach) were taken, with an awesome image definition!!!
However, it's true that battery life is quite short, so don't forget to carry an 8-pack of fresh AA batteries everytime (specially, if you're planning a long trip with plenty of photo shooting).
I really don't know if newer Canon models for this camera may have a better performance, even with larger megapixel capability. Really, I'm quite happy with this camera, and I would consider to change it only if I find a much better model in a really cheap price. Thank you Canon!

This is a great camera! Once you spend a bit of time with the manual, it is quite easy to use. I was rather hesitant to buy this camera because of the bad reviews I read, but I am so glad I decided to get it anyway. The 20x zoom is amazing, and the macro ability is equally impressive. It takes clear, focused close-ups, even if the subject is touching the lens! Another great feature of this camera is the amount of control it allows you to have over the settings. It is very helpful to be able to adjust the white balance, shutter speed, and aperture while shooting. It also has many, many other settings that allow you to have full control over your images. Although I haven't used the video feature much, it seems alright. Of course it's videos aren't as good as those of a proper camcorder, but it still takes clear enough videos to record some good memories.
Overall, this is a fantastic camera! As far as cons go, there isn't a lot. The only thing I can think of, is the time you must spend with the manual. I'd say it takes a good couple of hours with the manual to get an idea of how to use the features. Even after you've studied the manual for a while, keep it around for future reference. I don't like reading manuals myself, but the amazing photos this camera can take, really make the two hours worthwhile. I would recommend this camera to anyone looking for a high performance camera, without spending lots of money on a DSLR.

This is one fantastic little camera. I purchased it for my wife as a replacement for an earlier generation Sony about two months ago. It is also one of Consumer Reports recommended cameras, is simple to operate... turn it on and click. It takes excellent photographs considering its 7.1mp and 3.4X zoom. It does its best in the auto mode, which is what I think this camera was really intended for. The camera's 38-to-132mm-equivalent offers a slightly longer than usual reach. A 2.5-inch screen is the only method of framing your shot, and can be difficult to use on sunny days. Get a little peel and stick folding hood for those occasions. You won't find a lot of controls on the A470, but adjustable ISO, exposure controls, and manual white-balance settings offer some flexibility when shooting. The antishake works very well. Another nice feature is that it uses AA batteries. I use NIMH and keep a couple of extra sets charged and handy. There are many more usable pictures now than we had with the sony. One thing I have learned is that megapixels means little once you have reached a certain point except for the size of the end product. And, for an entry level point and shoot it is doubtful most of us will be making too many 11X17's for Life magazine. Even then, you could do so if you keep the ISO at 80. The other nice attribute is the capability of movies. This little camera has been used several times in the movie mode and I was delighted with the outcome. Size wise, it is not one of those slim ultracompact pocket cameras at about 2 inches thick. It can fit into a pocket with a bit of a bulge, but I really like this size better as its more substantive to hold and steady when shooting.. I have used the ultracompact, and find it more difficult to handle and the shake possibilities are greater. The software it comes with is a snap to use and makes the download process easy searching for only the most recent photos in memory. I have put 4GB SDHC in the camera, which gives it around 1000 pix at the highest resolution, or a combination of ample movie making as well as couple of hundred photos. If you are looking for a simple point and shoot and don't mind the heavier feel, then this one is for you. If you want / need more control, more manual override features, a longer zoom etc then spend another $300+ and get a SX10is, which I also own and use for more serious photographic outings or when I want to use a controlled synched flash.

I bought this camera so my wife could break into digital photography. She wanted a digital P&S that had an optical finder. There are not too many of these--Canon is the only one I could think of, and not even all canons have an optical finder. Some just have the LCD screen.
I tried a few shots at home before we left on a trip to Europe. It seemed to be working all right, so we took it along. She also brought her trusty Olympus Stylus film camera, "just in case."
Here's what we found out: first, the camera turned out to be a battery eater. According to the instructions, you should get about 200 shots on a pair of AA alkalines. Well, my wife got more like 30 or 40. One set of batteries was good for about 4 to 6 hours of shooting. She couldn't get a whole day of shooting out of it, even though she turned the camera off when not shooting. Fortunately, I had several sets of spares along. When these ran out, I bought four Kodak AA alkalines in a Paris store. They were gone in a couple of days, so we made a shopping thrip and bought some German batteries. They were maybe a little better--she shot for several hours in the Musee de l'Orangerie.
I am thinking the camera may be defective. No chance to follow up on that yet, as we just got back.
I had a scare: the pictures viewed on the LCD screen had an out of focus look. I worried that all her pictures might be bad. But the good news is that after downloading to the computer, her shots, viewed on my 17" monitor, are tack sharp! A fine lens! There were only 2 or 3 unsharp shots out of 579 total, and they are probably ther result of operator error.
I can also say I'm very favorably impressed with the Canon's color management. Good, satisfying color that does not disappoint.
I don't think the dynamic range from highlight to shadows is very great. The camera, in the hands of an amateur with no time to learn photography, produced quite few blown highlights on scenes that ranged from shadow to bright sky areas, and definitely favors the shadows, which remain readable at the expense of blown highlights. Probably an exposure tweak toward the underexposure side would help things a lot. Of course, almost all digitals are limited in this regard; point-and-shoots perhaps more so than DSLRs.
So, summing up:
Image quality: Excellent, for such a small camera.
Color management: Very good.
Exposure latitude: could be better.
Ease of use: pretty good!
Battery life: A big problem with our sample. We may or may not have a defective sample, and this needs to be followed up on. I'll try to post a followup note when I find out more.

I literally dropped it down a mountain into a waterfall in Africa, and after a guide got it out (I gave it a couple honest shots), it worked the next day. Zoom is unbelievable, other people with thousand dollar cameras were all wanting copies of my pictures cause they were closer and clearer than any of theirs. Battery drain seemed to occur after the water damage, but pictures are amazing. Only issue is that its a little too big to put in your pocket, but is great for games, trips, family photos.

This is one of the best point and shoots I've handled in the last year. Canon has produced a great product for the economically minded amateur. This camera has the great function of the "easy" setting. This allows almost anyone to take great pictures. Just select this setting on the dial and the camera makes all the setting adjustments for you, no matter what situation you are in. The only down side to this function is that it takes a bit longer to actually take a picture. I have noticed about a two second shutter delay, which isn't good if you are trying to take pictures of fast moving object, like children, but is fine if you have a cooperative subject. There are also a few selling points that I can't argue with, such as price, megapixels, and variety of options to tweak. At around $200, this camera has some of the most functions I have ever seen. It rivals the $800 Nikon i used to own. There are several shooting modes that can be easily selceted from the dial next to the shutter, but if that isn't enough control for you, you can select the aperture priority, shutter priority, or manual modes. Each of these modes allows full control over the setting in your camera, allowing you to make the camera work in any way you desire. This is great as a learning tool, or for the more experienced user who likes the full control. Image quality is pretty good as well, I have only noticed some distortion at the highest megapixel levels and in extreme conditions (very low or very high light levels). Overall, a great camera for anyone from the beginner with their first camera, up to someone who is contemplating an entry level DSLR. This camera gives you the full range of use, from simply point and shoot, up to adjusting white balance, aperture size, shutter speed, and flash output, you can even change to manual focus. Great camera for the price, well worth it to anyone looking for a great camera without the complications of a DSLR.

Since buying this camera, it has had an intermittent fault. Sometimes it would work fine but at other times, the screen would remain black and the camera was impossible to use. I struggled on with it because I needed it for my job. I contacted Canon who said that this was a known fault. Even so, it would cost me more than the cost of the camera to have it fixed. For a while, it worked then it wouldn't work at all. Look up Canon on the internet and you'll see that this is a common problem with all of their cameras.
Footnote : I discovered that the fault with the camera is a stuck shutter. By hitting it hard on the barrel of the lens, it's possible to free it. I've done this for the last couple of years and I've only stuck with it because it takes great photos! Maybe it's time to get a new one!

Read other reviews if you want lots of details on the camera. I'm just going over a few gripes and bonuses that I hadn't expected.
I received mine five days ago. I've had two other Canons and have loved them both (3000+ photos with the A75 before passing it on to my mother, and 4800+ with the A530 before passing it on to boss). This one is starting out to be quite amazing too and I hope to get at least 5000+ photos with it over the next few years.
First gripe is with trying to actually get a purple one. My order via Amazon reseller was cancelled by them. Ended up getting through B.B. for about the same price. Not too big of a deal.
I recommend resigning the included 32MB SD card to a drawer or for your tax records backups. Pick up a couple 4GB class "C6" microSDHC cards with a SD and USB adapter. The USB adapter is necessary if you want to get to the root folder on the card (for CHDK access) and/or don't like using included software.
The included batteries are good for experimenting and getting used to the camera. Just be sure to pick up and charge some Energizer or Duracell NiMH rechargables before that trip to Disney.
Customizing the camera--splash screen and sound effects: nope. Even though they included the software to do it, the camera does not support the feature to upload different pics and sound files. A Canon CSR verified this. Sadly, the fancy colored case is as custom as they want you to get. (Actually, it wasn't a very requested feature and I doubt there will ever be any firmware upgrades to include it.)
"Long Shutter" for tripod night shots: I thought it could do it but it took a while to find. In "P" mode, press FUNC. SET button (takes to EXPosure adjust), press DISPlay button and use left/right navigation to scroll between 1 and 15-second exposure times.
Cases: just about all cases will make this camera look huge. I sewed my own using some scrap fabric, Velcro and webbing for a belt loop. For store bought, just take your camera with you to test fit it.
Recording videos: no optical zooming while recording, so set the zoom to what you need before hitting the button. Digital zoom works if it is enabled, but I generally keep mine turned off.
That's about it for having it a week. Happy snapping, shutterbugs. :)
I received mine five days ago. I've had two other Canons and have loved them both (3000+ photos with the A75 before passing it on to my mother, and 4800+ with the A530 before passing it on to boss). This one is starting out to be quite amazing too and I hope to get at least 5000+ photos with it over the next few years.
First gripe is with trying to actually get a purple one. My order via Amazon reseller was cancelled by them. Ended up getting through B.B. for about the same price. Not too big of a deal.

This camera makes great pictures and I have found it easy to use but after a little more than a year and a half the CCD has failed and I have a vertical line in all my pictures, Repair would be horribly expensive and should not be required for a well taken-care-of camera. I contacted their support by email and got the feeling they were not reading what I said.

I'm not sure how many people will still be in the market for one of these, but I can certainly vouch for its performance for an A590IS. I've now had one for coming up to 2 years, and it has yet to fail me. The camera fits perfectly (as you'd hope), the belt fastening is strong and unlikely to accidentally come loose, the battery/SD card compartment works fine, and it even has a hook that's in just the right place to attach my Spudz 6x6 Micro Fibre Lens Cloth without it getting in the way. If anyone still owns an old Canon A590IS without a case, I recommend getting this one.

Suggest you look at some of the other highly rated models. Do not pick this one if you can only get the version that uses AA batteries. We could not get through a single day of moderate use without going through 4 or even 6 new batteries. The camera works fine and the quality of the pictures is good. If you are just interested in something to shoot some pix with, there may be too many bells and whistles on this for you. I also have a Canon ELF and it has been fantastic. Very disappointed with this one.

After owning an old Sony Cybershot for over 6 years, I thought it was time to upgrade to something with a few more bells & whistles. A high zoom camera seemed to fit the bill - I didn't have the time, nor inclination, to learn all the ins & outs of a true DSLR, but I wanted to have a few more options in a basic point & shoot with a good zoom for taking close up shots of my little guy. I did considerable research, and was impressed with all 300+ reviews for the Canon Powershot SX10IS on Amazon. I also read (& re-read) reviews from some well-respected digital photography websites, many of which gave this camera their highest ratings. After hemming & hawing for some time, I bit the bullet & eagerly awaited the fabulous pictures that this Canon would produce. I knew it was possible; I'd seen the examples on Amazon - all 500+.
The evening that my purchase arrived, I took my time, reviewing the manual (rare for me as I tend to do first, then read) & learning about my new camera. Then a test drive. Disappointment followed. Almost nothing I did - not putting the IS on continuous, not raising the ISO, not tweaking the aperture or the shutter speed, nothing short of using the flash - seemed to fully eliminate camera shake. But, I thought, it's nighttime & I'm indoors. Tomorrow I'll try again.
I awoke to a beautiful sun-washed morning, grabbed the camera, & started shooting pics of my 18 month old son playing in natural light. Same problems. I get it, taking indoor pictures means making some compromises. Either a little on the dark side or maybe a little more noise; things which can mostly be cleaned up by editing. But the quality of these pictures was horrible. The camera was constantly registering camera shake unless the flash was up - even in clear, beautiful, morning sun. Crushed.
I had some reasonable good luck when taking shots outside, but nothing that seemed to warrant the high praise written of this camera. My 6 year old Sony Cybershot, with only 4mp & 6x zoom, has given me reliably excellent photos even in the dimmest of light, something I would think this newer technology could easily provide. Not so. Color me disappointed.

I researched many camera before purchasing this one. i have owned it for a year now and love everything about it. It is a great camera for taking pictures especially when a 3 year in involved. I don't always have time to change lens on a dslr, but this camera fixes that problem. The video is equal to full screen dvd quality as long as you do not use the digital zoom. This camera was great on vacation, one camera did it all. Took pictures and video while hiking through the Disney parks, it was nice to only carry one piece of equipment. I did purchase the Lensmate filter adapter, which was about $20 and worth every penny. That was one complaint I had about the camera, now I have none. It is also a nice camera to hand to someone who is not camera savvy and set on auto and tell them to point and shoot. My cousin of 10 years old took the camera during a car show and got great shots. I am sure I will get a DSLR someday, but not sure I want to part with all the dollars to get one. This is a great camera for the dollar. I am actually looking at upgrading to the Powershot SX20 for HD video. The Manual controls are not the friendliest but with tripod they are doable. Would also suggest the Rezo 110Aw bag, it handles the camera nicely.

What I got looks nothing like the picture. I got a lens cap with a small hole in it and piece of string. No instructions. I supposed that I needed to thread the cheap piece of string through the hole in the cap and attach it somehow somewhere on the camera. It's functional, I suppose. But it looks terrible and I'll have to replace the string at some point. Yuck. Again: LOOKS NOTHING LIKE ADVERTISED. I recommend for this caliber of camera (mine is an SX20IS) going to a camera shop in town.

This sock doesnt securely contain your camera, only gravity holds it in so if you put it in a bag it can easily fall out.
Also the little carabina is just in the right place to damage the screen.
There are far better ways to protect your camera, don't bother with this one.

Had to borrow a friends camera as a back up for a gig I did - needed some spare batteries, I ended up buying these based on price and previous Lenmar experience.
They seemed to charge well and held charge well enough for what I used it for, however one of the batteries I got would not fit in the slot like it should - it would not engage the "lock" that holds the battery in place, you had to keep your finger on the battery while shutting the compartment lid. Once in it worked fine. Go figure.
Other than that little glitch it seems like good batteries, considering I paid 7.50 for each I don't think I'll complain - its a bargain for canon compatible batteries (I've paid upward 50 bucks for my regular camera batteries).

I was looking for an upgrade to my previous camera, the Canon Powershot A75, which had served me extremely well over 4 years. I purchased an Olympus camera, which despite its high price, I found in my opinion terrible in comparison to my old Canon.
As the camera was for our honeymoon, I decided to buy another camera. Unfortunately I purchased the Olympus online at a store that does not offer refunds or exchange on poor choice. Expensive lesson learned there.
I purchased the Canon SX110IS from a bricks and mortar store with refund/exchange policy, for peace of mind. Just days before I had recommended friends buy a Canon, and they bought this camera, and when I saw their shots, I knew this was the camera for me.
Straight away I felt so relieved and happy that I had purchased another Canon. Beautiful shots even on Auto and Easy modes, with lots of other modes and settings to play around with if you wish.
The most important thing about a camera to me is that it takes great pictures on Auto - as I dont like to spend much time playing around, I just like to have fun snapping.
The canon has the same size LCD as the Olympus, but the quality of the pixels is MUCH better, and clearer.
Image Stabiliser is excellent, (it stabilises the LENS, not the camera body like other cameras),sometimes my hands get shaky with some pictures, but they still come out absolutely beautifully.
The colour is amazing, pictures are crisp and sharp, even in low light. I took pictures in a completely dark room and they came out great. I don't mind waiting for the flash to recharge,it does not let you take pictures till it is recharged. In the Olympus I erroneously bought, you had no idea whether the flash was charged or still charging, so you could make the mistake of taking shots too quickly in low light.
The camera body feels very sturdy in your hands and you can easily grip it, your hand can wrap around where you see the silver bit, near the words PowerShot SX110. This is in contrast to slimline cameras that probably look prettier this camera. I'd rather have sturdy, especially with such a big lens and zoom. I was, however, surprised when I saw the camera "in the flesh" it is a lot smaller than I imagined.
Don't worry about lifting the flash (Where canon is written), it's not a bother at all, and the camera (at least in Auto and Easy mode) suggests you lift the flash when it deems it appropriate. If you lift it and have the flash on auto, it wont fire unless required. I just lift the flash whenever I take pictures, but it will only fire when needed.
Canon have improved their picture program for the computer too, but some people may not think the program gives you enough to play around with and may seek other programs.
One thing that i think would be neat would be the ability to change pictures to black and white or sepia on the camera. That is about the only thing that Olympus did that the Canon didn't do thousands of times better.
Overall, I think the camera's brilliant. I will never buy anything but Canon again.

I bought this camera from Amazon in August of 2009. A few weeks later, Canon released the newer version (SX20), so I still had the option of keeping the SX10 or returning it to Amazon for the SX20. After researching the SX20, I decided to keep the SX10, and I'm glad I did. The main reason is that most of the "experts" out there who tested both cameras claim that the SX10 has slightly better image quality, and that was important to me. I know that the SX10 has a "Super Fine" image quality setting, while the newer SX20 can only go as high as a "Fine" setting. The SX10 comes with a full printed manual, while the SX20 does not, and the SX10 has a voice recording option, something they left off the new SX20.
Before I purchased the SX10, I was searching for a digital camera that had a lot of zoom, took decent photos, and shot good quality video with excellent sound. Well, this camera has lots of zoom (20X), good for taking shots of wildlife. The video is very good, and the stereo sound is far, far better than my older point and shoot camera. No need for me to buy a separate camcorder. The photo image quality is OK, but not spectacular. Some photos have "noise", but I keep reminding myself that this is NOT a thousand dollar SLR camera, so I don't expect perfection.
For those people who are not camera geeks, this camera will serve you well in Auto setting, but I advise everyone to read the instruction manual and play around with the many manual settings, as there are lots of fun things you will discover, and you will be able to take better photos as well.

Like many other reviewers I did not get the item pictured. Didn't get what other folks described (with adhesive pads) either. What I got was the lens cap with a string that I could tie myself to the cap and camera. I was never good at knots when I was a Boy Scout! Cheesy but the price of the item was not worth returning.
The cap itself seems like pretty high quality so I took the leash off of one of my old camera's lens caps and used it on this one.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a seasoned photographer, but that's exactly why I invested in an entry level camera like this one. It seemed to take some great pictures around my neighborhood and on the beach where I first tried it, but when on my trip to the Middle East it disappointed me. Maybe it was because I was mainly taking city shots with lots of people moving around. Either way, I lugged the thing around for days on end for a batch of pictures that my average point and shoot camera could have come up with.

after a lot of research i bought this instead of a entry level SLR and on the whole am very impressed. within minutes I had taken some amazing photos with ease. the zoom and super macro are both very impressive and the continuous shooting mode is great for capturing action of my 3 year old daughter! there are loads of clever features that I am still exploring such as colour enchance (you can pick out any colour in view and the camera highlights that within the photo). HD video is great and easy to use plus you can use most of the other features whilst recording.
Things that are a littel annoying are:
1. The lens cap is a bit fiddly and can take a while to get on. it also has no holes in it to attatch it to anything.
2. The dedicated HD record button is great but you have to really stretch your thumb to get to it; meaning when you stop recording there is often a jerk of the camera where you have reached across to stop it!
3. The manual controls seem a bit limited (alhtough I am no expert and am still experimenting).

I was a long time user of the Canon EOS SLR's and I loved them. I say that only because readers should know I am an experienced photographer. I make this review after using this camera for about six months. I've had plenty of time to put it through its paces in various situations.
First let me say that I'm not comparing the SX10IS to an SLR but rather to my Panasonic DMC FZ20 with 12X zoom Lieca lens. The Panasonic is an excellent camera, by the way and I recommend it highly.
The Canon SX10IS camera has been a big disappointment. It was purchased mainly for wildlife photography. The 20X zoom works fine, but its bad points far outweigh the one good feature this camera has.
1. First the lens. The images are soft, not as sharp and crisp as the ones from the Panasonic. This could also be the auto focusing mechanism. Near, far, where ever the subjects are, the focus is soft.
2. Camera design is poor. Buttons cover every available surface of the camera's body. My small hands just cannot hold the camera without pushing one of the numerous buttons that cover the camera's surface.
3. I wish they had not attempted to cram every conceivable feature into this camera. More is not always better. The menu is a nightmare to navigate. No changing settings quickly to capture a bird in flight. Thankfully they left out the wash and spin dry feature but that is the only thing missing.
4. The optical viewfinder, which you need to use when shooting wildlife (especially if you are a former SLR user or if you wear glasses), is very poor. The view is fuzzy and the viewfinder is very small.
5. The camera body is cheaply made. Handle it very carefully. For example the door to the memory card is hinged with cheap material that will easily break with much opening or a slip of your fingers.
6. When holding the focus at 20X waiting for a subject to turn just the right way the camera makes a chugging sound and the image jumps. That can't be good.
These are my main complaints about this camera. Some advice: Don't just order this product online. Hold one in your hands, do some trial shots. Try to use it as you would in your everyday photography before you purchase it. Look at other camera models and compare before you buy.
Updated: The camera died just a little over a year after I purchased it. This is the last Canon I will own. I'm sticking to my Panasonics and have ordered the Lumix DMC-FZ40 Digital Camera to replace the disappointing Canon.

This is a sweet little camera. So many excellent features for a small, priced right camera. I bought it for a vacation trip since I didn't want to lug my heavier, complicated Nikon D80. I wanted a simple no brain point and shoot. The SX10IS is everything and more. I took well over 2500 images with good results and really no problems. From the plane looking down into the Rocky Mtns, to a moving Amtrak train, to a sailing ship, 99% of images were usable with the exception of a few operator errors...read.... I need a head for that body.... I was able to take photo still shots while filming and so much more, I was able to slowly zoom in while filming. Did I mention the Macro and super Macro yet?? The camera is very easy to operate, I didn't really need to read the manual, just kept figuring it out through the controls no complications there. Are the photos as clear as the Nikons? Possibly not, but the price difference is large and the fact that one lense will do just about everything far outweigh those factors. The biggest problem is learning the software program for the computer, which I think I may have to uninstall and reload, other than that I absolutely love this camera and I think it will remain a Canon classic for years to come.

I lost the original cap that came with the camera the first week I owned it. The original cap is worthless and did not have a strap. I could not find a replacement cap in any of the big box stores, so I came to Amazon and took a chance.
The replacement cap I got works great and it has a strap that holds the cap to the camera. The cap is held to the string by a little sticky pad, which I wasn't sure if it would hold, but it has done the job so far and I have been very active with our new camera and taken it on over 50 miles worth of hiking trips in the past couple of months without losing it.
The shipping was quick and no issues. I will order another one if I ever lose this one. The price was right.

This camera is a gift for my wife who does not want a complicated camera. However, it has the three features she needs: Image stabilization, lots of pixels (8Mpix) and lots of zoom (10:1 optical). It also has many features only found in higher level devices, most of which my wife will never use. The "auto" setting covers her needs. This unit (used) came without memory card or batteries, but that was easy to fill in. All is working well.

When used outside in good light (or extremely bright indoor light, such as next to a window) it is an outstanding camera. It can take high-quality shots of stills, portraits, and action shots. The zoom is very effective at distance, and the settings can go from fully automatic to completely manual. In the right light this camera can get professional-quality shots.
However, indoors this camera is no better than a typical point and shoot camera that would fit in your pocket. The flash is weak (even at the highest setting), and pictures without flash are almost impossible. ISO greater than 200 is pointless as photos will be overcome by noise. If all you plan to do is have people hold still while you take a picture from less than seven feet, then you'll be fine. If you are trying to get action shots indoors, forget about it.
This camera will gobble batteries faster than a pig runs to slops. You'll be lucky to get fifty pictures out of a new set of alkaline batteries. However, if you get a good set of rechargable batteries, you'll be overwhelmingly and pleasantly surprised by how many pictures you can get: hundreds. Go figure. I have four rechargable batteries. I use two at a time, and can easily take 500 pictures before having to recharge.
The flash is very slow to recycle, so again, indoor shots with this camera are slow and annoying.
The camera is very reasonably priced. I paid two Benjamins for it new and have taken a couple thousand photos already. The colors are brilliant and popping, but realistic. Like I said, with good light, you can't go wrong with this camera. I mostly use the TV setting. I set my shutter speed at about 250-360 and then I don't miss a single action shot. It's fast, reliable, and fun. This camera can get you results that look professional.
The camera is bulky. If you carry a large purse, you'll be fine with it, or if you use a backpack/briefcase. But if you're expecting to slip this into your shirt pocket or jeans pocket, forgetabboutit. It won't fit. It will only fit in a very loose pants pocket, and even then it's annoying. You could put it in a case and attach it to your belt, which works great, but ruins the style factor. This camera looks like an old 1980s film camera (although it performs like a dynamite digital). You won't win any style points with this camera.
If you are going to have to lug something around and want the best quality you can afford, look at the Rebel XS, the best priced digital DSLR on the market. But if you only have two hundred bucks, and can't go another three hundred, then get this SX110is. It's a great camera and I don't regret the purchase for a minute.

This camera is good overall, giving more features than the average point-and-shoot camera.
Pros:
+10x Optical Zoom
+Great Macro quality
+Good Flash
+Large LCD Screen
+Lots of manual control usually not found on many P&S cameras. This camera allows for Aperture Priority, Shutter Speed Priority, Custom ISO settings, Manual Focus, or complete manual control over all of these features.
+Good build quality
+Image Stabilizer (definitely helps when using the optical zoom)
+Standard Mini-USB port
+Backup battery for clock and settings (so you don't have to reset the clock when replacing the batteries or the SD Card which is located next to the batteries)
+ SD/SDHC card slot
+Face recognition (which is easy to quickly turn on or off with the press of one button)
+Runs off two AAs. Both a good and a bad thing, although mostly good since you can change batteries when in the field or find extras at a local shop.
+Direct-Print to printer with a USB cable (I've never used this, but could be useful and convenient for some)
Cons:
-Okay battery life. Battery can be used quickly when using the flash a lot or using optical zoom often. Setting the LCD brightness down can help. I bought High-Capacity rechargeable AA batteries and these helped a lot. I wouldn't recommend cheap AAs though. It's worth investing money in good rechargeable batteries.
-No optical viewfinder
-Optical zoom can't be used with recording video (once started.) You can zoom in then start recording, but not while its going.
-Grainy at high ISO speeds (although this is typical of P&S cameras.) Anything up to 400 looks nice, but it's noticeable at 800 and 1600 and 3200 aren't usable at if you care about quality.
-Not very compact and a little heavy. While this is fine for me (I like the form factor) this camera may not be for someone who wants a thin light-weight camera.
While I'm just an amateur photographer, this camera is definitely is worth its money for its impressive picture quality, optical zoom, and features. While the graininess at higher ISO settings is sometimes noticeable, this is common for point-and-shoot cameras. Some may ask why bother with this camera if you can get a 10+ or so Megapixel camera for about the same price or cheaper, it's simple... the SX110 IS takes great pictures, has 10x optical (which is very important in comparison to digital) zoom, and provides many features not found in most point-and-shoot cameras. Megapixels are not benchmark of the quality of the pictures, but rather the size (resolution.) If you want an advanced nice P&S with extra features, but don't want to buy an SLR, then this might be the camera for you. If you plan on getting serious and want to take action shots that require higher ISO settings, consider an entry level SLR such as the Nikon D40. The D40 is around $450.

I got this camera to replace my Canon Powershot A520 4.0MP p&s camera since I'm due with our 2nd baby in less than 2 weeks. It was so cheap I couldn't resist (only $109). I like being able to take short video clips and wanted the higher MPs for photos and needed something small for days when I don't want to lug my DSLR + lens around along with my diaper bag. I think it'll do the job well. Some things I dislike though: 1) The camera is slow on rechargeable batteries unless the batteries are fully charged. Noticeably slower than with the A520. 2) Also powering on/off is noisy due to mechanical noise associated the lens opening/retracting (this is audible and unpreventable even with all volume/sounds turned off except for playback & the self timer). Much more audible than our Powershot A520 and I would be nervous using it in a quiet setting like a wedding or funeral.
My major gripe is with the new Zoombrowser 6.1 software that came with the A590IS. The A590IS won't work with the older Zoombrowser SW I have (version 5.0), images show up as question marks and do not download at all. I did not have any problems removing my old SW as a previous reviewer mentioned--my Dell laptop running Windows XP actually automatically removed the old version and installed the new version when I loaded the CD-ROM that came with the new camera.
The most annoying feature of Zoombrowser 6.1 is that it automatically connects you to the "CameraWindowDC" interface that has no instructions and just a bunch of buttons to click on if you plug the camera in using the USB cable to download images. I can't find a way to bypass this interface and still connect to the camera. This method of connecting takes away the option to set the individual image file names and download folder name automatically as was possible with the Zoombrowser 5.0 version--I like to use the shooting date + a 4 position sequence number and I like give folder names that reflect the event/occasion, not simply the shooting date.
So now there are many extra steps to rename the files and move them into an appropriate folder. However, the features to set the file names and download folder are available if you use ZoomBrowser 6.0 to connect to a memory card (like when I download images from my DSLR using a USB-based multi-memory card reader). In Zoombrowser 5.0, you had the option whether you were connecting directly to the camera or a card reader or directly to a memory card.
So now the best way for me to download the images from the A590IS while maximizing the utility of Zoombrowser 6.0 is for me to take the SD card out of the camera and put it into the built-in SD card reader in my laptop. Then I have the option to select a specific download folder & set the way I want the images named as they download.

I've been using this camera for about 6 months now. I wanted to replace my old Minolta F200 for better quality images. Honestly, it was not better if not worse. I was actually surprised that my old F200 was as good as this camera concerning image quality.
First, there was so much noise in the image. As a natural result, many of my pictures were not clear and I had to painfully discard them. I don't like grain in the picture and it was the main reason for replacing the old F200, but obviously SX10IS didn't satisfy me. Second, on ISO 80 in aperture priority mode (no zoom), I changed aperture from f/2.8 to f/8 and got blurrier image (surely I used tripod), which is counter-intuitive to me, because with f/8 and with its tiny sensor, theoretically, I had to get virtually infinite depth and sharper image. What's wrong?? Am I missing something?? This problem made me feel that this camera might have some fundamental flaws in its optic design. Third, focus is very bad. It is very difficult to auto-focus on anything including side view of face in medium or low light. Focus during movie taking is more terrible. It goes back and forth between in-focus and out-focus. Very bad.
Of course there are many good points (that's why I decided not to return it). I really like the full manual mode because finally I can apply many basic photography concepts. I also like the external flash mount, which most point-and-shoot cameras don't have. It is a big positive point for those who want to learn lighting. Finally, 20x zoom is a very good addition, because I don't have to purchase expensive and heavy lenses (the biggest reason I stay away from DSLR cameras) and I actually got some good out-of-focus images.
Overall, if you want much better image quality in a similar body size (at around $700, without 20x zoom, and potentially additional lens purchases), check out Panasonic G1 (micro 4/3). But if you don't really mind the picture quality so much (in fact, with a tiny little sensor, it is physically very difficult to get sharp images), this is a very good camera. Almost everything you can find in DSLR is in this camera without heavy weight and lenses. So, for those who are not very serious in photography but want many functions in an inexpensive body (like me), I recommend this camera.

There is no better digital camera in the $250 range than this Canon. OK, maybe there is, but this is a great camera. I find it very intuitive and with enough manual control to make me feel more like a photographer. It takes great pictures on automatic, too. The quality of the prints is adjustable and on the right setting the pictures hold their resolution well when enlarged. The 40x digital zoom is also very handy.

20 odd years ago I used to love going all over the place snapping away with my old Olympus OM2N, but after amassing a few carrier bags full of unprocessed film just gave it up. Then about 3 years back I got an Olympus pocket compact and started getting back into snapping away but always promised myself a DSLR when I could afford.
Well, now's that time!! I thought of something like a Canon EOS450 initially but I dont really want to be lugging all the lenses etc around now, and then came across the Canon SX1 IS. I read the specs..too good to be true I thought, read the reviews, read them all again, had a few cans of beer and got the plastic out and ordered from Amazon. 2 weeks on and after a good play around with it I can't believe what a bargain this camera is!! (now £40 cheaper too..HUH!!). Initially the user guide seems a bit head busting, but taking things one step at a time all the features become apparent and really easy to use. I'd recommend this camera to anyone either looking to upgrade from a pocket compact to the serious amateur or pro photographer needing to travel light.
PROS...Too many to list, it really does what it says on the box. A bargain at the price so spend the extra money you'll save on buying a DSLR plus lenses on rechargeable batteries and chargers instead... Widescreen HD video through the telly looks great... 4 frames/second shooting makes sure you get "that" action shot....No messing about changing lenses, just zoom in.... No carrying bags of extra lenses about....I could go on forever.
CONS...The front of the lens is not threaded so not able to fit filters without an adaptor. None is available in the UK but an adaptor is available from a company called Lensmate in USA (Google it!!) $22 inc postage to UK, this will enable fitting 58mm thread filters.... 4:3 ratio video plays OK on my lowish spec laptop with VLC media player (Google it!!) BUT Widescreen HD video will need serious computing power to play the .mov file format on a PC, although there's no problems with the camera playing this through the telly.
RECOMMENDED EXTRA ACCESSORIES....8GB SDHC Card stores approx 2000 photos at highest quality setting....Lensmate SX1 58mm filer adaptor....UV filter....Circular polarizer filter....Lots of Energizer 2000 mah rechargeable batteries....Widescreen HD telly.

I bought this item almost 2 years ago from amazon. It worked pretty well and gave excellent pictures. I had no problem with it until the screen went completely black. Now I can't take any pictures or do anything useful with it. I really liked this camera . The camera worked well when it did. I hope I can still repair it and would give canon a next chance in the future.

I searched for along time for this kind of camera. (in the $200 range) I was drawn by the 10x zoom and Optical Image Stabilization(IS). (both work great and are very nice to have!) After using it for a few weeks, I have had mixed results. Before you read on, understand that I also shoot with a canon xti, often with a $300 50mm lens on it, so I think my standards might be a little higher than the average user. With that said, here is what I think:
When you shoot in auto mode, the ISO it chooses (ISO 200) will not be as clear as the camera is capable of. Thus I find you have to use a Program (P) mode and set it to ISO 80 to get better reduced-noise pictures. Otherwise pictures can be grainy. The pictures are poor at ISO higher than 200.
Focusing is a bit slow in low light, and unless you can balance the camera on something steady, and your subject is not moving, you will need to use the flash. As I have read it on reviews on its predecessor Canon sx100, the recycle time on the flash is somewhat annoying. You will have to wait a good 5-6 seconds before you can ready up for another shot. This is a drag when you have people who are posing, or for a subject that is passing you by, like at an evening parade. The flash is set "on" or "off" by manually raising the flash with your finger. No automatic pop-up. Not a problem for me as I don't like using flashes anyways, especially on this camera!!!
I think the video quality out of this camera is great, far better than what I got out of older Sony Cybershot models DSCW-50 and the DSCW-55. Note that you cannot optically zoom while shooting video; it will let you zoom digitally.
The upsides for this camera are many. The 3-inch screen is amazing. It does stick out from the back of the camera, rather than being inset, so it may be prone to scratching. The programmable features are excellent. You can adjust the exposure time to 15 seconds. Playback/review is easy and fast, due to a wheel that lets you scroll through pictures quickly. Viewing it on the big screen with auto-rotation (landscape-portrait) makes it easy to check for focusing and such. Macro shooting is amazing. You can practically touch the subject with the lens and get a clear, very detailed shot!
If you want a quick convenient camera for casual shooting, don't really care about too much zoom, don't get this camera. Get something smaller and faster, and something that comes with a rechargeable lithium battery. I would stick to Nikons, Sonys and Canons. This one takes two AA's, and dealing with those has its pros and cons. I bought this camera for the big 10x zoom for the relatively small size, and the programmable options. I studied studio tests from dpreview.com (great site!) and found this was the best for my needs. The Lumix TZ5 pics looked fuzzy and the design of the Sony H3 is ugly. For other models and side-by-side comparisons, check that site out. Hope this helped you, and good luck on your decision!
