 Son loved it January 12, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I love the powershots ( I have an older version as do all my kids)and this camera did not disappoint. Although I did not get to use it as it was a Christmas gift, my son has told me that it takes outstanding pictures! He loves the 10X stabalized zoom feature. The 8MP doesn't hurt either ;) Highly recommend

I got this camera for Xmas 2007. I love the simplicity of it. I am a point and shoot kind of picture taker. But it has a huge menu for those who want to have more control. I particularly like the 30X optical zoom. I take a lot of photos of grandchildren and am able to be out of the way but still get a great close-up.
My only "con" is the fact that it does not have a view finder. I like the stability of resting the camera against my cheek. All pics are composed using the digital window, though I must say this is a good size and with the face recognition feature is easy to use.
A very solid camera January 8, 2008

Well, I got this camera as a gift in early December, and I must say I am very pleased with its performance. It is one heck of a camera. Its a great medium range camera because a beginner in photography can use it, and it was great manual control for more advanced photographers. It takes very good pictures and is a lot of fun to use. Also, its 10X zoom is marvelous and allows you to get close and personal from far away, making it useful for concerts or other such performances.
Pros:
-Good shutter lag(when first auto focusing, then taking the photo)
-Good, bright flash
-Large, visible LCD screen.
-Excellent zoom
-Aperture, shutter speed and manual focus controls allow for excellent control over the camera for more serious photographers
-has excellent batter life and is nice and easy to hold
Cons:
-Slow flash recycle
-Only comes with a 16MB sD card.
Overall, this is an excellent camera, but buy a good set of rechargeable AA batteries, and a bigger sD card to go along with it. It is a great buy for the money and is made by a reputable and high quality company
I Love This Camera! January 8, 2008

After using an older model digital for three or four years, I finally decided to move up a notch. I did a lot of research online and settled on this Canon. It is wonderful! There are so many things it can do that I will never be able to remember them all, but for what I want -- a camera that will take good, sharp photos -- it is perfect. Price was good, delivery prompt, a good deal!
Very Happy January 4, 2008

I bought a Powershot A570 to replace an old A510 and had to send it back. It had full manual controls, which I liked, and it took pretty good pictures, but the the build quality was horrible. The zoom was jerky and it just didn't feel or sound like a very healthy camera.
This SX100, however, is another story. It is solid, the zoom is smooth as can be and the LCD is a lot crisper than the A570. Plus the picture quality even seems a little better.
My only complaint is when you screw a tripod mount to the camera it covers the battery cover. I nearly always use a tripod and I don't store my camera with the batteries in it so when I want to take them out I have to take the tripod mount off too. But this is relatively minor and I'm sure I can get used to it. While it certainly has enough manual controls to be used by the professional, most people will probably just use it as a point and shoot anyway so this wouldn't be much of an issue.
If you are thinking of going with the A570, and you can possibly swing it, I would recommend spending the extra money for the SX100. The trade-off you get in quality is worth it. Most retailers are getting $300 for it, but I bought mine from Adorama for $235 plus shipping. Amazon doesn't seem to have it in stock right now.
