Canon PowerShot SX10 IS Review

The fully featured Canon PowerShot SX10 IS packs a lot into its rotund casing. Flip out LCD, movie mode with stereo sound, a 20x zoom, a reasonable 10 megapixels, and DIGIC IV processing. It’s recently been featured in a number of reviews:

The Canon SX10 IS then proves to be a solid and reliable option for both the uninitiated moving up to a bridge model for the first time, and those stepping down momentarily from a DSLR who are looking for a model as a back up, or perhaps to supplement their existing lens range, but in a more portable and user-friendly format.

Canon’s PowerShot SX10 IS is a great choice for anyone in the market for a super-zoom camera. It delivers a massive 20x range with quick AF and highly effective stabilisation, a fully articulated monitor, flash hotshoe, movies with stereo sound and full manual control. The only downsides are visible fringing in the corners, slow continuous shooting and the lack of RAW recording and HD video – coincidentally the same downsides as its predecessor.

-Camera Labs

There are some worthy competitors out there, including Panasonic’s Lumix DMC-FZ28, which might look slightly better on paper. In addition Canon offers the Canon’s PowerShot SX1 IS, which is faster, shoots 1080p video, a bigger LCD, and a handy HDMI port. It’s also more expensive. Tough choices, but the SX10 IS would be a fine one, just perhaps not the best looking one.

   Hmmm, I see the P90 popping in here and there, with OK mentions. There’s also the Olympus SP-590UZ which also gets some good attention. Then of course the most popular choice around here is the Panasonic FZ28 which seems to really compete with the SX10.
