Canon Powershot SX10IS Reviews

I have been watching this camera for a few weeks and finally decided to purchase it. I'm not a power user yet, although I plan on getting to learn on how to use all of its functionality. I have only had it for a few days but so far I'm very impressed.

Pros:
1. Fantastic zoom
2. Great image stabilization
3. Auto mode works well
4. Lots of scene features (fireworks, sunset, etc.)
5. Very impressed with the stereo sound when recording video.
6. I like that you can mute the camera..good for taking pictures of birds or other animals that may get scared by the camera's "natural" noises.

Cons:
1. Although the video recording lets you zoom in and out, I found that once I uploaded it to my PC the outcome of the video was very "jumpy". I will try again with less zooming.
2. The instructions, although clear, go on forever. Thus I purchased the "Canon Powershot SX10 IS CheatSheet" from Amazon. I'm happily waiting for it to help me start using the cool features faster than if I read through the entire manual.

I did do my research via Cameralabs.com where they have live video showing you how the camera works.

Overall...5 stars!! I'm excited to take it on a trip to the Grand Canyon in a few weeks.Get more detail about Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom.
