Canon PowerShot SX10 IS Comments

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.

Where is the Review for the Canon SX1 IS?!

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.
