why not go for the full 10?
This camera seems well suited to someone who can't decide between the ultra-zoom S5IS or point and shoot A470. Unfortunately, like many compromises, it will displease a lot of people but some will be very happy.
seems like we won't be seeing anything close to srl quality with these zoom and p&s cameras any time soon.
I have it, and I used it recently during my first vacation to New York. It's small enough to fit in your pocket, uses AA batteries (and burns through 'em pretty quickly), and takes really good pictures. I used an 8GB Sandisk Extreme II SD memory card, and took almost 2000 pictures at highest resolution/quality with a little room left over for a few hundred more.
The popup flash is nice, and the built-in red-eye removal feature is amazing. It works about 85% of the time, and the other 15%, you can go back manually on the camera and select the red eye and watch the camera do it's magic to remove it.
Long 10x zoom works well, but the Image Stabilization technology could be better. You're going to want to prop the camera on something or use a tripod if you're shooting something with the zoom in less-than-optimal lighting conditions.
9.0 Megapixels is plenty for 8"x12" prints.
All-in-all, this is highly recommended if you're looking for a budget-minded, beefier-than-usual camera without going the DSLR route.
thanks #4 for the simple review, would consider it since price is affordable. How long would the batteries last or approx many photo can be taken without flash?
I ended up taking a mixture of probably 75% day and 25% night shots, for a total of about 1500 pictures over the course of 6 days, and used about 10-14 AA batteries. The camera uses 2 AA's at a time.
It's a good camera, but it's definitely a compromise between the smaller point and shoots and the super zoom cameras. I'd probably go for one of those instead of this.
The Panasonic TZ5 has the 10x zoom feature with Image stabilization and has 9MP. I am a Canon fan owning the S5IS along with the Canon SD870.
The Panasonic takes great pictures as well as the SD870, but you get only 3.5 zoom with the canon as opposed to the 10X of the panasonic. So if you need a small camera to put in your pants/jacket pocket with plenty of zoom, check out the reviews for the panasonic TZ5, I have been very please with it's performance.
I have one of the older Canon's which is similar and I'm considering upgrading to this one. I like the new size and the specs are good.
Use rechargeable AAs and you'll get more shots per charge over regular alkalines.
I upgraded from an S400 which served us well, although the CMOS sensor had already been replaced once due to several pixels, and one entire vertical row of pixels, failing. Replaced the sensor a few years ago, and pixels were already starting to drop out again.
Beautiful pictures, though. Canon makes a great camera.
$200 is the everyday price at a few different places. This isn't a deal.
I woud go with the SX10 IS. I got one with a case and an 8gb SDHC for 239. It is 10mp with a 20X zoom and it has a hotshoe if you want an external flash. It is a much more versatile camera.
Why even bother including a 32mb flash card at this point? How is that size of card even sort of practical to manufacture at this point?
yeah you can;t use reg AA's in these. use lithium AAs or nickel-cads.
Then that's probably my problem. I've been using the special "Energizer Digital"-whatever AA's in my camera until I could find a good deal on excellent rechargable batteries. Any suggestions?
