The Canon SX10 IS is a six-year-old 10 megapixel camera that was rated highly when it was introduced. Newer cameras have higher megapixels but the optics haven't had as much noticeable improvement. That said, 10 megs is really all anyone needs and good for 16x20 prints. The best two features are the extended flash range (up to 15 feet) and the 20X optical zoom. The best high-quality pictures comes from using the program mode with the IS0 set to 100 and the picture mode to neutral (which produces natural colors). This particular camera was exceptionally well-maintained, operates flawlessly, and came with the manual, lens cap and camera bag. Overall, it was very good deal.

Terrible experience! When I turned the camera on it was giving a "change battery" message and kept shutting off. I got brand new batteries(1220 and AA), swapped everything out, and I still keep getting the same error message! On top of that, I got a brand new SD card and now I'm getting a "memory card error" message on the screen as well! I was so excited just to be let down. Very disappointed and unsatisfied. Would not recommend!

I'm a long time Canon buyer and from my personal experience, it was worth the $328. The 20x optical zoom is just one of the few features I did enjoy but what impressed me the most was the Image Stabilization. It records as if you had it mounted on a tripod. The image quality is somewhat decent. This compact camera comes with a hot shoe so you can mount any flash that you own, which I do recommend. I'm not a fan of the flash it provides. Some of the button placements just seemed out of order to me but it's something everyone has to get used to with any new camera. I truly enjoy the flip out LCD screen but I only wish it was just a bit bigger. In all I do enjoy this camera to its full potential and if you're looking for a camera that's easy to use and provides decent pictures then this is for you.Read full review
Pros: excellent zoom for a point-and-shoot camera, good optics, flip-out view screen is great for using as a video camera, uses surprisingly little battery power (still on my first set of batteries after a month of regular shooting), video is clear and well-focused, love the ability to shoot pictures while shooting video as well. Overall great value. Cons: control dial is a little funky (seems too loose, not enough tight control when trying to dial in manual settings). Also as a former manual SLR man, I'd love the ability to turn off the autofocus and dial in my own focus (tried to shoot a macro of my son's guinea pig, but the autofocus couldn't focus on it somehow), sports shots have a surprising amount of blur straight off the dial. These last two items might be remedied by me learning to use the camera better.Read full review
I've been using this camera for about a month now and I'm very happy with it. I am not an expert in photography and am not trying to find a perfect camera. I just wanted a camera with a high zoom that I can use to take videos for my kids during their sport activities while I'm sitting far away on the bleachers. In that regard, this camera did not disappoint. The optical zoom is simply amazing. Here's a summary of the pros and cons: Pros: ===== 1- Did I mention the amazing optical zoom? 2- You can use the optical zoom while taking a video. This appears to be a very rare feature. All the point and shoot cameras I checked didn't have that. Some of them just allowed digital zoom which severely degrades the quality. 3- You can take still pictures while shooting a video. 4- The picture quality in low light is very good compared to regular point and shoot cameras. But it's not comparable to DSLR's. 4- Very easy and intuitive user interface. 5- Uses AA batteries. Cons: ===== 1- It's bigger than your typical point and shoot cameras. You can't just stick it in your pocket. You have to have to have a carrying case that you hang on your shoulder. 2- The auto-focus is a bit slow. Sometimes you have to try several times for the auto-focus to have a lock. 3- Picture quality degrades in low light. It's still better than my other point and shoot's, but it's not as good as a DSLR. Overall, I'm really happy I picked this camera. It's one camera that does everything I want.Read full review
