Probably you have seen the reviews at CNET or DPREVIEW. However, you’ll find unbiased remarks from the customers. We took the liberty of extracting some quotations of the users from Amazon.com, Shopping.com, and digital camera forums. Following this Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP digital camera review, it would justify the purchase of Canon Powershot SX10IS.

“In initial testing, the face detection technology seems to work well. I can take a self portrait now and the lighting comes out very good. I think the technology has gone from buzzword marketing to true usefulness.”

“But for the price this camera really does it all - the video is awesome and easy to use - clear, great picture and being able to use the 20X optical zoom (which you cannot hear at all when used!) is a huge plus.”

“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.”

“The SD card door is separate from the battery door as it was with the S3IS. There are times that I just want to take a few pictures, and now I don’t have to open the battery door to take the SD card out and put in my PC’s card reader.”

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.”

“This machine makes almost all shots look like good ones. If you don’t want to bother about anything, just select the AUTO function and zoom to the point of getting in the picture what you want.”

“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.”

Now you have decided that this is digital camera you’re looking.
