Canon SX10 IS

Pros: Price, 20x zoom, 28mm wide angle, solid build, features, face detection, battery life, resolution

Cons: Uses 4 AA batteries, heavier than Panasonic

The Bottom Line: The Canon PowerShot SX10 IS is an excellent choice if you need a camera with a monster 20x optical zoom, wide angle coverage and optical image stabilization...

Review: Mega-zoom cameras (cameras that have 10x optical zoom or over) are fun. Before digital mega-zoom cameras were available, you would have to buy and, not less important, carry around a bunch of lenses and a camera body to be able to get to 10x ...

Pros: Wide angle to super 20x zoom
Swivel LCD
Easy to use menus/features
Beautiful picture quality

Cons: A tad heavy, but a lot lighter than a DSLR with the same zoom capability

Review: Got this camera almost as soon as it came out, and I LOVE it!  I've had the S2 IS for 3 years and have been pretty happy with it.  Tried the Panasonic FZ18 on a trip to Alaska and was disappointed.  I missed the swivel LCD screen and ...

Pros: Zoom length
Quality of images
Numerous features for creative photographers

Cons: Movies interrupted with sound and image (and ruined!) by taking photos during recording!

Pros: Great zoom
Fast flash recovery

Cons: too large for my wife's hands and too cumbersome for our daily use.

The Bottom Line: Though as a hobbyist I would love to own it, it's too large for how we use our cameras that must be small enough for convenience and lugging around.

Review: First thing, let me be VERY CLEAR, I have never owned the Canon PowerShot SX 10 IS Digital camera...and through orders from my wife, probably never will.Canon PowerShot EnthusiastsOver the years my wife and I have owned a few Canon ...

Pros: Good ergonomics. Lots o' settings. Bigtime optical zoom

Cons: Ineffective red-eye reduction. Have to manually raise flash. Memory card not included?

The Bottom Line: The SX10 IS offers a lot of cool features, good zoom and crisp image quality...but not without some hassles.

Review: I don't know what Canon's deal is but this is our 2nd Canon mid-range camera with a red-eye reduction feature that is completely useless.  It simply doesn't work.  I actually sent our last one in for repair because I thought the feature was ...
