What Do You Need To Know About Canon Powershot SX10IS Before You Buy

Are you considering photography as a hobby? But you don’t want to spend to much in an SLR before you can be sure that you like photography.

You can capture picture close up or far away like a pro with Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP digital camera.

Canon Powershot SX10IS is the latest model in the SLR series. It is an enhanced model of the S5IS. The upgraded camera now includes improved DIGIC4, making it possible for you to shoot consecutive pictures for subjects in motion, and enhanced resolution of 10 mega pixels.

Taking astonishing range shots is no longer a problem. Thanks to SX10IS’s big 20x optical zoom. You’ll impressed as you can take off guard pictures that the subjects are not aware of.

Its wide angle has a range between 28mm and 560mm. It makes a breeze for any photographer to take photographs at close ups or far away.

The Powershot SX10IS can distinguish human faces at any angle. On the display screen, you will see a focusing rectangles on the faces when it completes the face detection. Focusing on faces could never have been that easy.

If you are using a long lens, then the additional of optical image stabilization (OIS) and motion detection in SX10IS is a plus point.

Compared to its predecessor, Powershot SX10IS is bigger. It can be bulky for beginners. But after using it a few times, you’ll find that you can take shots more steadily because of the grip. This also prevent the dropping of the camera while taking pictures.

The upgraded design allows you access the buttons on the Powershot SX10IS. You can adjust a variety of settings easily such as Shutter-speed priority AE, Custom mode, Aperture priority AE, Manual exposure and Program AE.

You’ll be amazed with the quality of the images. Its 10 mega pixels could take amazing details when you shoot for close ups. Its i-Contrast also helps you to capture shots under natural lighting without blowing out the light areas.

However, the quality of the shot taken with a standalone DSLR lens is better than SX10IS. I still feel that this camera is very easy to use. You can almost immediately use the camera to snap pictures. It just takes a few seconds to warm up. For beginners, this camera would be a perfect choice. You can save money instead of investing in a DSLR camera.

You probably have read the authors reviews at CNET or DPREVIEW. But the best views actually come from the users themselves. As you can see below, we have prepared snippets of end users’ reviews from digital camera discussion boards, Shopping.com, and Amazon.com. Following this Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP digital camera review, it would justify the purchase of Canon Powershot SX10IS.

“I have found the lens to be just fine, even at max zoom. I also found that the lens is fast enough for indoor non flash photography.”

“One side benefit of the face detection technology is that it enables the camera to intelligently take red-eye out of pictures without using the red-eye reduction lamp.”

“If anyone is looking for a camera to just simply bring home the most pictures that everyone will want to look at, then this one is hard to beat.”

“28mm-560mm is one heck of range to have at your finger tips.”

This is a very good camera for both beginners, intermediate and advanced users. Canon has given great features in this hybrid camera giving a 10MP and 20X optical zoom. The image stabilization is pretty good and even if you are moving (hands not stiff as well) the picture comes out great”

“The zoom made full frame shots a breeze.”

“If you are looking for a camera that takes really good sports photos or any photos, I would recommend this camera.”

“After using the camera for a while I have grown to like the shape because it helps keep the camera more steady and helps prevent dropping it. There is a ridge below where the index finger is, and above the other 3 fingers holding the camera. That helps keep a good grip on the camera which makes it steadier while shooting and helps prevent dropping it while carrying it around.”

It is no doubt that this is what you should have if you want quality pictures.
