4 out of 5 stars good pictures, horrible battery life   August 2, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I have owned the Canon SX100IS camera for two months. I put it to good test on our Alaska cruise and took about 1000 pictures. I would like to give this camera 3.5 stars if I could.

The 10X optical zoom is wonderful. It works great and is really handy.

The picture quality is very good, under different conditions. Sunny, cloudy, rainy, indoor, sunset, sunrise, on moving ship, shoot moving objects, scenary, portrait. The pictures mostly came out clear, sharp with good colors and reflected the actual view accurately on "auto' mode. On one occasion, however, the colors of a lake came out NOT as vivid as the lake actual was, with "auto" mode.

My biggest disappointment with the camera is battery life. I used 15 sets (30 individual) AA batteries to shoot about 1000 pictures. I literally used and had to carry a bag of batteries.

I got the "lens error" once, on a whale watching excursion. For a good 20 minutes, the len could not retract. No matter what I did, the camera just displayed "lens error" and was dead. I missed some really good shooting opportunities because of this. After 20 minutes, the camera magically worked again.



4 out of 5 stars Big Zoom   July 31, 2008
 0 out of 2 found this review helpful

My objective in buying this camera was to get a bigger (10x) zoom compared to what I was using (3x). This camera also has more pixels (8MP vs 5MP) than previous.
POSITIVES: Love the zoom, works well. Picture quality is excellent.
NEGATIVES: This camera is HEAVY! and it's big; while it fits in my pocket like my other one, it's not very comfortable. Buy a case & put it on your belt. It's also very complicated, and I know I'm not using it to max potential. I've just found a setting that works, and I'm ignoring the other 10-12 dial options; I just want to take pictures! It's also a heck of a lot faster than my last camera, so I'm relearning timing on motion shots (jumping horses).
OVERALL: Heck of a nice camera, probably more than I need but well worth the price. Wish somebody made a nice, simple, no frills 10x or higher camera; I'm sure I paid for a zillion things I'm not using and don't need.



4 out of 5 stars great product, so-so battery life   July 27, 2008

So far have been very pleased with image quality of this camera, but the battery life is a bit lower than expected.


5 out of 5 stars Fantastic   July 25, 2008

The camera is an absolutely fantastic buy. I bought it to replace my $400 Nikon digital camera and am blown away by it. It has all the best features plus the manual apertures and shutter speeds. I have been pleased with every aspect of this camera and would recommend it to anyone!
