So many settings to tinker with, so little time =) This little camera rivals the functionality and flexibility of a DSLR but is much smaller. Takes superb shots! The better you know how to customize settings, the better the results -- yes, it can help a budding photographer learn due to the number of settings the user can control. The only thing I don't like (and it's relatively minor) is that the flash pops up automatically when the camera is turned on regardless of what mode the camera is in -- I'd forgive it on the automatic modes, but it shouldn't pop up when shooting in manual or P. That flash preference wouldn't keep me from purchasing this camera again, though.

I wanted to get a camcorder for our newborn. After many researches and testing of 2 other camcorder in $300 price range(Sanyo VPC-FH1A, Panasonic SDR-H100) I've decided to get a travel zoom type camera with good photo and video quality. And as long as photo is descent, I was mainly interested in better video quality.SX210+Pro+longer zoom+Bright Viewable video in low light with only 2candle on a table.+Excellent user control and menu and spinning control switch, I loved the menu and control.+I would say about 20% longer battery life than the panasonic with its GPS off.+Manual focus option+Better flash light exposure/light handling+No motor noise during zooming in video.-Con-Soft/fuzzy lens. Not sure if unit I got was defective or all of them are alike, it is 1of2 main reason for not keeping Canon. General users won't realize this unless you do a side by side comparison with a sharper image.-High noise video. Even in bright indoor lighting condition. The 2nd main reason for not keeping Canon-The weird...or lack of ergonomic design, which one can get used to with practice. Hard to operate with one hand.-Sound recording is lacking, when replayed on my pc, sound felt distend and tinny.-Highlights pink/magenta color.-Its got great flash exposure, produces nice looks flash photos, but in auto mode, it would lean to use longer exposure/higher ISO over flash...no idea why...ZS7+Pro+Beautiful video, the video is over processed, but video looks great.+Sharp lens, takes sharp photos and videos+Wider angle, and the i-zoom is very usable.+Great sound recording quality, what you hear is almost what you record.+Ergonomically friendly to handle with one or both hands.+When in full auto modeCon-Image is over processed...I really don't like it...look too unnatural to me, Even customization to tune everything down in setup does not help much. However, most general users will find the image beautiful, but that's because some of the details are gone, and colors are adjusted. A image taken of my wife with ZS7 will show her with smooth skin with light makeup, but when taken with SX210, you'll see the reality of wrinkles and no makeup. However same would apply if you want to take image to show detail...there will be no detail of fine scratches/fine dusts/fine particles...-Video taken with 2 candles, and background music in the room to emulate cake cutting, was very dark. However, if you can adjust the brightness and contrast on the player you use, you'll still be able to see most things that was captured by Canon. So the data is still captured...just too dark to be viewable.....wish this was adjustable in camera.-The menu control is not as innovative and easy to navigate as the Canon, is not bad, but can really see some improvement.-In auto mode, it leans towards using flashes....which does not offer as good as exposure when compared to Canon.In the end I kept the Panasonic and returned the Canon. It was a hard decision for me until I realized the fuzzy image Canon was producing, because I simply can't stand a fuzzy video or image. My wife is happy with the wrinkle removing feature...and I will revert to my DSLR if I wanted to take photos of greater detail. You will not notices the fuzzy images unless you pixel peep at 100%, it really doesn't matter to most users who print at 4x5. But I can tell the Panasonic have a very nice lens.I'm a Canon fan, but in this line up, Panasonic did a great job.

I've had this camera for a few years now and even though I own DSLRs, this little thing is still my go to camera when I need decent quality pictures and not in the mood to pack a huge camera bag. The pictures are of decent quality, and the camera has great battery life. There are a number of settings that I love using, primarily tilt-shift mode manages to make boring things quite interesting.What sets this camera aside from all others is its amazing durability, this little thing has survived a minor flood (not that I recommend this for pooltime), a number of accidental drops, a few stomps, a toddler chewing on it and an overzealous dog. It's got the scars to prove it! If you're looking for a point and shoot that's got it all, this is it.

A compact camera with big camera capablities. Yes, it takes some reading on how to use the settings as well as some trial, error and research on how to take a good picture using settings other than "automatic". Once you get that down, you're golden. It's got a big screen, a good zoom for what it is and multiple functions to take excellent and unique photos. I know that I've taken many that do not even need to be photoshopped before printing and framing, the photos were that good, or maybe it was just me. Regardless, I love this camera.

Why is there such a learning curve with a point and shoot camera?! Granted the extra/advanced options are nice, but if I just want to take a simple picture I should be able to without putting much thought into it. It is a total hit or miss on whether or not you will get a good photo with this camera. Most of the images are grainy when you zoom in or too dark. Forget about taking a picture in low light conditions, absolutely horrible. My Sony Cybershot DSC-T10 takes much better pictures, the only reason I upgraded was for the super zoom, but it absolutely was a mistake. Oh and this camera is an ergonomic fail! The dial to change settings is absolutely horrible. I have small fingers, so I wonder how those with large fingers work with that dial. I've had this camera for a while now so it can't be returned. I'll have to sell on ebay and take a loss.

It's been one month i am using this camera and i must say this is the best compact i ever had.Like everybody else i did internet research and read lots of reviews on almost every respected website.There is a reason for me to write such a lengthy review(for me it is very lengthy) because i found so much of information which was hard to digest for compact users, reviewers went to micro level(like cropping image up to 100% and then analyzing colors and sharpness among competitors. for god sake!!! most compact users are not professionals what is the use if newbie get reviews in terms of professionals).So wanted to write reviews for those who are confused with in depth reviews and tech specifications and looking for user experiences.Lets see what person look for features in compact camera.I like shooting with manual controls and many times i want to override Auto settings to capture scene as per my likings.I have Panasonic DMC G2(micro four third), Nikon D5000(DSLR).Both cameras are best in their class.But sometimes when i go to places like SFO downtown or friend's place or party i always felt to have compact camera which fulfills all my needs:1) A good zoom - which is a must when you have one multipurpose camera( you may want to capture closer shots of distant buildings.For newbies if you need depth of field you need zoom to bring blur background)2) Fast enough to take candid shots (please do not compare with DSLR)3) Allow manual controls to take creative shots( for those who want to learn photography, or want to upgrade to SLR and in learning mode, photo enthusiast. this is a must)4) Can click decent pictures with good colors5) Easy to carry ( This is most important factor otherwise there are DSLR available)6) High definition video with speaker sound7) Flash Performance8) Features (This camera has 90% of entry level SLR features to explore)Having stated all my requirements,I have few good things and few shortcomings which i would like to shareGood things1) Accurate metering systems2) color accuracy3) Fast auto focus4) Easy navigation of controls like ISO, White balance, Apperture, Shutter, Flash, Focus mode ( this is most important and encourage you to come out of Auto mode)5) Almost perfect Auto mode which beats all the competitors(exception is indoor night scene where you need to use custom white balance even DSLR needs overriding)6) Flash performance7) Good low light performance - not best but good, low light mode can capture very good shot (all the compact cameras can not perform in low light as compared to DSLR)Negative aspect where only this camera lacks edge over competitor1) Lack of RAW mode ( RAW mode capture image as sensor see it without performing any processing these images need post processing with software like Photoshop and then converted to JPEG.Almost all the pictures(professional or commercial)you see in magazines are clicked in RAW mode and gone edited in photoshop). It is worth sharing that there is only one competitor in this class which have RAW mode, CASIO FH100.2) Auto bracketing (I am not sure if any competitor provides this feature)Overall this is best camera in travel zoom class.Does not matter what star rating you see for this camera in reviews just go to store and try all the cameras and try to shoot other than Auto mode(I am sure you know competitors SONY H5V, Casio FH100, Panasonic ZS7, Samsung HZ35W).You will agree with me that when it comes to camera no one can beat CANON.As a final note if Zoom is not a concern try Canon S90 or S95(upgrade to S90).

I really enjoy this. Good zoom. Good picture quality. The only thing I can think of that would be considered negative would be that the flash is placed exactly where you want to put your finger. Other than that, everything is great.

A bit of background: I am a reasonably serious photographer, and I normally shoot with a Nikon DSLR. I bought this camera when I was looking for a lightweight camera that I could use indoors and outdoors. I also expected it to take reasonable movies indoors and outdoors.I've had the camera for more than a year, and all I can say about it is that I am seriously unhappy with it. It does take reasonable still pictures outdoors, and that's about it. I find the indoor performance for still pictures to be poor, and I find the movie performance to be poor both indoors and outdoors. In movie mode, the camera is unable to find and maintain focus, and indoor exposure in settings such as concerts is positively abysmal.I'd summarize my feelings by saying that I totally regret my purchase, and wish I had looked some more before buying. I REALLY DISLIKE THIS CAMERA.

So far I've had mixed reactions to the pictures I've shot. Perhaps I am not using the camera correctly, and when I get a few spare minutes (which isn't often) I will read the manual. In the interim, as I stated, I've had some mixed reactions.First reaction is that the close up shooting on this camera is below par, at least in the auto and easy modes (haven't taken enough time to learn the manual, AV and TV mode yet. Call me old school, but the thought of how some of these modes are digitalized and basically a computer version of reality makes me miss my 35mm. But, I digress). I've tried to zoom in even moderately on objects that are close to me (1-2 feet) and am incredibly disappointed at this camera's lack of ability to auto zoom on what I'm going for. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, and if anyone has any thoughts or recommendations, please let me know. B/c I'm definitely not happy with this feature.Second reaction is a simple one. As a father and soon to be husband, I carry the camera in my pocket with me quite a bit. I'm extremely, extremely disappointed with the two "eyelids" that protect the lens of this camera. I'm surprised that no other review I've read has noted the issue that I'm having - maybe something in my camera is broken? Anyway, the "eyelids" (for lack of a more technical term) come open quite easily in my pocket, which would seem to me to open this camera lense up to a pretty significant amount of scratching and other damage. Why don't these lock in place when the camera is off? One of the first thoughts I had after buying the camera is "I'm going to need a slim case or lens cap if I'm going to keep this in my pocket very often".Third reaction is that the zoom and longer distance pictures seem to be excellent so far. I'm very pleased, having used some longer and larger zoom lenses on my 35mm, with how well this camera zooms for a pocket sized point and shoot.Next - there is definitely a delay when trying to take shots. Kids and pets is mixed - sometimes it captures pictures incredibly fast (esp w/no flash) and others, it's still slow - not good when you have a kid!! Or pets, which I don't have anymore.The number of different shooting modes is definitely good. I like this quite a bit. Ditto that with the little wheel on the lower right hand side - this wheel is both practical and easy to use. I like how the menu comes up when you touch it softly to show you what it does. I also like how it allows you to scroll quickly through pictures on the review mode.I'm torn overall how I really feel about the camera. Unfortunately, it seems to be my experience that you need to get 500-1000 pictures before you really have a feel for a camera, and of course, by then, who's going to take it back?? So, we'll see.ps - Maybe mine has a different function or extra mode b/c it's brand new, but the zoom can go up to 56x, and when used properly (ie - on a tripod or other stabilizer), it takes EXCELLENT long distance shots.pps - I have this set up to notify me when you write comments on my reviews. If you have any hints, suggestions, or can help me with something I'm doing wrong (particularly the up close zoom issue I'm having), please comment so that I can get some help! Want to love this camera...!

After just a year, my Canon Powershot SX210 IS is useless. First only one dust particle appeared - it was inside the camera so no amount of lens care would rectify the problem. I compensated by using retouch using Picasa. That worked only for a time and then many blotches appeared - again inside the lens. I have tried to figure out how to fix this but have yet to find a solution.For the "top end" of the Canon line - this is unacceptable. I do not recommend buying from Canon until they come up with a solution.If there were an automobile, there would be a recall.

Canon PowerShot SX210IS 14.1 MP Digital Camera with 14x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3.0-Inch LCD - BlackI have regretted buying this camera. The pictures are not sharp and clear. I wanted a camera that would be simple to use. My husband has used a Canon AE1 for years and took excellent photos. I knew this camera wouldn't take the same quality pictures that he takes but thought they would be better than what they are. This camera is a total waste of money. I am in the market to find a camera and it will not be a Canon this time.

Reviewed by my wife--I'm a pretty experienced photographer, but couldn't bear with the thought of taking my beloved Canon dSLR on a cruise. Instead, I searched high and low for the perfect compact camera and fell in love with the Canon PowerShot SX210IS. I purchase it in 2010 before my honeymoon to the Bahamas and have used it for multiple vacations since. It will go fully automatic, which is rare in a point and shoot, and it takes amazing photos. I've taken shots in Nassau, Freeport, Cocoa Beach, Miami, Charleston, St. Thomas, Grand Turk, Half Moon Cay, San Juan, Nags Head, Washington D.C., etc. It'll also be with me this fall when I visit Mexico, Belize and Isla Roatan. The only time I've ever had any problem with photo quality is in some low light situations where I refused to use the flash. I prefer natural light and only use the flash when forced to. The zoom is more than adequate and the picture quality is superb. I absolutely recommend this camera. It's the only one I can find that can stand up to my dSLR.

I love this camera! Being in the broadcast television industry, I needed something that has excellent quality, that wont take me ages to set up to take a shot. This camera was the answer. And it is possible to get that professional-looking, "blurry background effect." For close up shots, such as flowers, the camera automatically goes into macro-mode and will auto-focus on the subject. If you want the effect on a person- stand at least 25 feet away from your subject, and fully zoom in on them. I found this works by keeping the camera in "auto" mode. Also, this makes excellent HD videos as well! I saw the band Berlin in concert recently after I purchased the camera, and was able zoom in on Terry Nunn singing. When I could hold the camera still enough, the video *almost looked professional-quality. Highly recommend this camera!

I have owed this camera for about 2 years. After regular wear and tear, the telescoping lens has decided to get stuck in an open position. It seems to be due to the fact that the lens comes out extremely far. When it retracts back in, it brings any lint, dust or dirt with it. You can hear the lens trying to retract but it sounds like a piece of sand is stuck in it (you hear the crunching noise it makes). The camera definitely needs a better dust skirt around the telescoping mechanism. If you plan to only take pictures in your house it may be fine, but don't plan for camera to last too long in real world.

m2YUNUBXUHURB1 / moWN6W0KQHP6Q5 Length:: 7:38 MinsAs of 12/31/2010, due to time constraints, I will be unable to actively participate in further discussion over the SX210. You can, of course, still post your questions in hopes that someone else more seasoned than myself will be able to offer an answer. Good luck in finding the camera that best suits your needs =).THE REVIEW:This camera takes decent photos with one MAJOR exception that I will discuss later. However, it teeters right along the outer boundaries of the point-and-shoot category as it definitely requires you to get to know about ISO, shutter speed, aperture, and various other advanced camera options if you want to take the best photos.I am also satisfied with the video quality, although I was expecting better for HD. It seems that the only thing high def about the video is the actual pixel dimensions. It certainly doesn't produce true high def quality. Instead, it is grainy and lacking in clarity. With digital cameras, unnecessarily high pixel dimensions in video should be sacrificed for better quality. Leave true high def for camcorders and other video devices that can actually take advantage of the technology and keep the digital camera res to 640x480 unless it's actually capable of true high def. If not, call it like it is and advertise it as "wide screen" since, in reality, that's really all it is. I'm just trying to help others avoid the same misconception I had when I saw "high def video" since, to me, high def means high def.And now for the nitty gritty! I've since purchased and returned two SX210s, both of which were notorious for producing the lens shadow phenomenon caused by the position of the flash and the length at which the lens barrel extends from the camera. This combination of poor design implementation creates the potential for the SX210's lens barrel to actually block the flash, resulting in a shadow of itself being cast in the lower right corner of your photo.You might be thinking that all you have to do to is either retract the lens barrel to keep it out of the way if you don't need the zoom or simply turn off the flash. Both are certainly ideal solutions, but, unfortunately, retracting the lens barrel is not an option and the SX210 does poorly in low-light environments without a flash. The net result is an uncompromising camera that greatly limits itself in the conditions in which it can be used effectively.In spite of the fierce opposition you see me faced with in discussions here, I think most of you will identify with the shooting positions I demonstrate in my video review. I am certain that everyone has had those moments when they wanted to pick up their camera on a whim and take a picture of a friend, pet, or whatever other subject happened to be photogenic at the time. With the SX210, however, something so simple as taking a picture of a friend next to you on your couch can result in a fudged photo.Summary: I initially chose the SX210 because I simply wanted an all-around good camera. It was a major disappointment to me when I realized that I had to be conscious of where I was standing in order to avoid the lens shadow. Having to retake a photo because I happened to be too close to a wall or couch cushion was largely irritating, especially since this is a point-and-shoot, not a professional-grade SLR.I wish Canon implemented smarter design with the SX210 rather than resorting to the numbers game. 14 megapixels with such a small image sensor? Boasting high def video when it doesn't produce true high def quality? 14x optical zoom with a lens barrel so big it that blocks the flash?Canon, let's do better next time, shall we?
