Canon PowerShot SX10 IS video review

  • More Photos
  • Video

The PowerShot SX10 IS is an expensive and quite complex camera, and not really suited for the beginner, however in capable hands it is capable of producing excellent results, and has enough creative versatility to do so in a wide range of situations. Build quality, handling, performance and image quality are all up to Canon’s usual high standard. Read full review

I bought one of these just before christmas, couldnt wait for you review, as i do trust your judgement. On my first hand experience on this camera I would agree with your findings, but add a few things.





Movie mode is excellent, same is the ability to zoom and get a blur free picture thanks to the IS, which also works in said movie mode





The selection wheel is a pain, more like a wheel of misfortune, when moving it either does nothing or moves too far, it has no clicks and works like a moody teenager





camera is a little bigger than expected, annoying doesnt come with a printed manual (pdf only) or even the tiniest sd card for test, does have 4 alkalines and the cheapest mini usb cable i have ever seen.

It looks like a superb camera with the best picture quality I've seen from ultrazooms in its class (with the Sony H50 in second). The only real negatives (for me) are its size and weight.

@AndyfromVA


IMO Sony H50 is easily beaten by Panny FZ28 (both in terms of IQ and user-friendliness).





SX10 IS looks nice (almost DSLR-like), is loaded with tons of features, but lacks RAW.

What's your preferred choice? This, or the Panasonc FZ28?

I bought it at 260 USD. I think it's of great price and value.

I have for a few weeks now been contemplating buying this camera and have written down lots of stores on-line prices. Now we come to the pure greed of UK suppliers, including my favourite, Amazon. they have ALL stuck on from between £25.00 to over £40.00 on this camera--why you ask? Well Canon are doing a £50.00 cash-back on this camera. These greedy stores just hate to see anyone getting something do they not? Not a review of course just my feelings on the greed of UK camera sellers and worth a mention here. Give them all a miss until offer ends and watch them tumble the prices.

After 1.5 years of easy use of my Canon SX10 IS, the camera has thousands of bad CCD pixels (one vertical line + some standalone). Repairing costs the 85% of a new SX20 IS, though I will not buy a new one nor have the old repaired. I will look around at other brands.
