5 Stars Exactly what we needed…
We have professional cameras that are very nice, but are also heavy and bulky. We needed something small that was functional and easy to use for those times that we just wanted to capture memories, not get professional images to enlarge for artwork. This little camera definitely fits the bill. We also like the 3″ LCD and the movie capability. We’re traveling to Italy in a month and will enjoy using this camera!
5 Stars Awesome
Awesome camera. This replaced my old Canon 5 mp camera. Very happy with the camera.
5 Stars Wonderful - A Definite Buy!
I love this camera! I am the official family photographer and this camera was worth every single penny! I paired it with a Sandisk Extreme card and the thing takes pictures super fast. While I agree that the menu is far less intuitive than my previous Canon (SD450), it is still by far the best camera I’ve had thus far. I would highly recommend this camera!

5 Stars Canon has done it again!
I have had the S1 & S2. This is a worthy upgrade. I did not think they would be able to imrpve the 10X optical zoom on the S1 without stepping up into a SLR model…then they came out with the 12X optical(S2 & S3).
I also love the wide angle lens. I can take a picture of a group of people in a living room without stepping way back! As far as I am conerned this is the best camera you can get without going to SLR.
The only thing I am bummed about is the size. It still is the same size(roughly) as the S1,S2,S3. I guess you can’t have your cake and eat it too. How else can they pack a powerful lens in a small package. If you want a pocket point and shoot, this is not the one.
5 Stars Review of Canon Powershot SX10IS
This is an excellent camera in my opinion. I owned an earlier version digital Canon which I liked also but its servo motor gave up the ghost after 3 years so I was in need of a camera. The features I really like are the 20x optical zoom (improved from 12x) and the 10 MP quality (improved from 5MP) and face detection ! I’m impressed. I just hope the motor holds out !
Canon Powershot A1000IS 10MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Grey)

features make everything simple: theres the 10.0-megapixel resolution and powerful 4x optical zoom
lens with Optical Image Stabilizer for sharpness along the full zoom range. A DIGIC III Image Processor
with Canon Face Detection automatically lets every face stand out. Easy Mode and Easy Playback make
this camera a marvel of simplicity. With a bright 2.5-inch LCD, its available in four two-toned colors.

5 Stars Good camera
We’ve had this camera for about a month now and thus far it’s met or exceeded expectations. I find the controls fairly straight forward and think the camera takes good pictures. I like the size and feel of this camera in my hand. Overall a very good purchase.
5 Stars Excellent camera
This camera takes some great pictures. If you’re looking for a general use camera (something to replace a point and shoot film camera, say) this is a bargain. It takes huge pictures, and they’re very clear and crisp. It’s also far better on batteries than the old 3.2 megapixel it replaced.

5 Stars Great camera
This is my first SDLR camera and it is great. Good pictures thought a little bulky. Battery last about 1000 shots on high quality.
5 Stars very good
i have been waiting for the annual canon rebate, and got this kit with the 55-200 lens. I have got a lot of good comments on my pictures now from friends, which i hardly ever heard for ones taken with my canon S1-IS.
5 Stars canon rebel xsi
Good camera but a lot to learn regarding all of the options. Can be expensive to maintain. Best for serious hobby or professional work.

5 Stars Excellent clarity.
Purchased this camera to replace one I’d bought 6 years ago. After reading the reviews, this camera ended up being the best for the least amount of money. The pictures are clear and the video with sound is an excellent addition.
5 Stars Great camera for the right price
Canon cameras are very intuitive. I have been shooting with slr’s for years and decided to get my wife a pocket book camera. Took her no time to understand the controls and now she’s shooting like a pro. Very nice camera for the right price.

5 Stars Excellent Camera
This is a super easy to use camera with lots of extra features. The video setting is great and takes really good short videos. I used it to video a swim meet recently, then converted the files to a DVD and the quality was outstanding.
The camera has settings for night, dusk, portrait, landscapes, etc, or you can use the automatic feature and the camera will pick the best setting for you.
Pictures are clear and crisp. It’s easy to use the flash and charging the battery is very simple.
This is our second camera like this. I would recommend it highly as a good easy to use digital camera that takes quality photos and videos.
5 Stars DMC-FZ28
I have only had the camera for a week so far I am happy with it still working on some of the things that it will do but over all I glad that I did not go with a SLR
5 Stars Excellent Camera
I am a very amateur photographer, but I wanted a camera that would give me good zooming capabilities and good pixel resolution - without having to spend the money for an SLR. I found exacly what I was looing for in the Lumix FZ28. It makes it easy to take great photos. By great I mean photos that I like to come back and look at again and again. If you are looking for a camera in the $250 - $300 range that will make you look like a better photgrapher than you really are - this is it.

5 Stars great camera
I am totally satisfied with the quality of the camera, it’s functions, and the quality of the photos. I used this camera to take pictures at my sisters wedding and they turned out great! The camera was easy to use, right out of the box and controls the camera “shake” very well.
5 Stars A camera I ordered and gave to my adult daughter, who lives 4 hrs. away.
I ordered this Canon Powershot SX110IS camera for my daughter. I have not even seen it yet. But she took it on vacation to Colorado and loved it. We live 4 hrs. away from each other and I’ll get to see the pictures of the trip this week-end -when we visit.I understand from her it is a quality camera.
Ordering and the delivery of the camera was super fast. I was very satisfied all around.

5 Stars Versatile and easy to use
I wanted a camera that was very easy to use yet very versatile. As intuitive as possible and this one fits perfectly. The oversized screen is terrific and the easy knob for selecting types of picture is quick and convenient. I use my camera for a variety of different situations ranging for travel and outdoor shots to closeup shots of small objects. It focuses quick and does a nice job.
I really like the tuck away flash. It stays tucked away and if the picture you are taking needs the flash a message will tell you to raise it.
Picture quality is excellent and the oversized viewing screen is really nice. glad I got this one over a less expensive model. Cost me a few dollars more but worth it.
This camera has a little bit more heft to it than many other smaller and less expensive cameras and I like that. It has a good feel in your hands.
Overall an excellent camera, easy to use, good price and very intuitive. Canon has a nice user friendly set of buttons and knobs that are standard across many of their cameras.
My camera gets a lot of heavy website use and its perfect for me. Connect the camera to a cable then drag and drop the pictures where I want them.
The drag and drop isn’t the only way to transfer pics, just one of the ways and the easiest way for me.
5 Stars I’m SO happy!!!
well I had been searching for a new digital camcorder actually and the 2 I bought and tried did not work well in low light, I had previously been using a canon powershot to tape indoors and it worked well but had only 3x zoom and 7megapixles
I thought the 10x zoom would be perfect (I tape nail tutorials and makeup tutorials) so I thought it was worth a shot
I LOVE THIS CAMERA!! The pictures rival my canon SLR Rebel and the video is wonderful in low light even and the 10x zoom is perfect
there are many detailed reviews here mine is short, VERY VERY HAPPY!!

This camera is beyond GREAT!! Takes great shots the only thing holding it back is the photographer!
5 Stars Canon at it’s best
Are you looking for the near perfect photograph capture device? Well your search is over. Ther are way too many reasons to purchase this camera. I’m quite sure that all of the other reviews will point out all of this devises splendid features. So, I’m not going to add any more. They have done a great job explaining why a novice or professional will want to pick up Canon’s premier point and shoot. ENJOY
Oh, add to your list of goodies to purchase the “Magic Lantern Guide Book for the Canon G10″.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1600595405/ref=ox_ya_oh_product
The paper version that comes with the camera is a tad too small and the paper is very soft and difficult to read. WOW, That my friends is the only con I can come up with.

From the 1st picture I am very pleased with the results. Easy to use and the results are better than I have had with any other digital camera I’ve used. Thank You Canon.
Now you can fit sweeping landscapes into a single frame with the 28mm wide-angle setting. Pull in subjects from far away to capture even subtle facial expressions with the dynamic 280mm telephoto setting. Ideal for traveling, the DMC-TZ5 Lumix 9.1-megapixel digital camera combines a wide-ranging LEICA DC Vario-Elmar lens with a handy, compact body. The Extra Optical Zoom function also extends the zoom to as much as 16.9x, giving you even greater telephoto power. Set the TZ5 to iA mode and let the five Intelligent Auto functions team up to help prevent shooting errors. Intelligent Exposure corrects lighting differences, so images come out just the way you see them; Intelligent Scene Selector chooses the mode that best fits the situation; MEGA Optical Image Stabilization helps prevent blurring from hand-shake; Intelligent ISO Control helps prevent motion blur; and Face Detection helps produce clear portraits by optimizing the focus and exposure settings.

5 Stars I love my new camera
I bought this camera after looking through reviews of cameras in my price range, and I was not disappointed! I especially love the 10x optical zoom that gives me clear pictures from far away.
5 Stars Excellent image quality, great focal range, and great video
This camera is probably, on of the best values out there. 10x zoom with wide angle lens in this small a package is hard to come by, much less 220$. video quality is very good, even at distance(Autofocus while recording is fairly smooth, don’t expect any kind of quality audio, though). Intelligent auto feature is both helpful and unobtrusive. Great control layout, and good menus. Would recommend this to any one.
5 Stars Great Camera!
Overall it is a great camera. Found three things that bothered me, but for the price of the camera, I can leave with them no problem.
- Pictures a little bit noisy, even at ISO 100
- Flash position - constantly I get my finger in front of it (getting used to not though)
- Manual white balance doesn’t work according to manual’s instructions, I cannot set the white (if someone can help me with this, I’d appreciate)
I was between setting 4 to 5 stars, but since it delivers excellent pictures, I believe that’s what matters in the end of the day.

5 Stars Best cost x benefit for a Nikon digital SLR
This camera practically doesn’t need reviews. It’s a Nikon. And I’m sure it’s the best cost x benefit available for a Nikon digital SLR camera. Specially if your are no professional photographer like me.
My advise: buy the basic camera and than choose a camera-less kit that better suites your needs.
And don’t forget that the camera doesn’t have any internal memory and doesn’t come with any memory card either.
5 Stars Just what I wanted
This is my first (and probably last) DSLR camera. I am very pleased with it. I purchased it after a lot of research because I wanted the most camera I could get without a large investment. I also wanted a camera that wouldn’t require the next year or so to learn how to use it. This camera really fills the bill. Recently took it to Rocky Mtn. Nation Park and produced excellent photos. I have several Nikon digital point and shoot camera’s but the photo results and quick shutter of the D40 can’t be compared to the point and shoot camera’s. The Ken Rockwell http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/d40.htm review settled the decision to but this camera. I’m glad I did. Now for a good flash; the remote and a telephoto.
5 Stars Great Camera, Including Sports
I am a Canon fan when it comes to point-and-shoot pocket size cameras. For me, money can’t buy a point-and-shoot camera better than an Elph. When it came time to upgrade to a DSLR, I chose Nikon. I have friends in the photography business (Weddings) and they always choose Nikon over Canon. That said, both brands are great.
I do not consider myself a profession, but more of an prosumer. I chose the D40 because I wanted a lightweight DSLR for vacations and college football games. Yes, this camera is great for college football. While it only does 2.5 frames/sec, I find that it is more than enough for my needs.
You can get more megapixels now, but it is not necessary. Most will probably choose the D60 or the new D5000 over the D40. When I chose the D40, I was choosing based on several factors, including price. The D40 was the least expensive at the time. Plus, I put the money I saved into extra betteries and memory cards. 6.1 megapixels is enough for me and I feel that it is a good balance between photo size and defintion. You can crop nicely, even at 6.1 megapixels. This camera is smaller is size and is lighter in weight than mosr DSLRs.
I have found the menu settings to be easy to understand and can recall the locations of settings with ease. You can also create a customized menu for your favorite options.
I recently shot vow renewal ceremony with this camera and the additional Sb-400 speedlight flash, bouncing the light off of the ceiling. The camera was more than adequate and took some great photos.
When you read this review, do a price/features comparison for the camera that suits your needs.

5 Stars awesome camera for the price range
great camera in its price range… the textured body grips really improve the “feel” of the camera vs. the XS/XSi models. I still only have the basic kit lens but still get nice images… no complaints.
It may be the slimmest Digital ELPH Canon has ever created, but the impact couldn’t be bigger. The PowerShot SD780 IS Digital ELPH captivates the senses with bold saturated colors and a daringly original design that matches the intensity of Canon’s most innovative camera technology. Even when picture-taking conditions seem pretty unforgiving, you’ve got Canon on your side. Plus, you’ve got an advanced DIGIC 4 Image Processor with evolved Face Detection Technology and the Face Detection Self-timer for extraordinary control and performance. This technology finds and tracks the faces of moving subjects until you’re ready to shoot, then delivers perfect focus. In addition, exposure, flash and white balance are compensated, so that faces exhibit natural skin tones and backgrounds are properly exposed. The camera also makes it easy to enjoy HD movies (and still photos) in beautiful high definition (1280 x 720 pixels) on your HDTV with a mini-HDMI connector for direct connection to a high-definition monitor. You’ll enjoy the HD experience with no degradation of image or audio in the signal, plus the ability to display up to 130 still images at once. So the shots you used to miss are the images you’ll now be sharing, and the movies you never took before will be HD unforgettable.

5 Stars Simple and Powerful
I used this camera first on a trip through the Southwest, taking pictures along side my nearly professional photographer husband, who was using 20 pounds of camera equipment. In most cases, except for some very low light situations, my pictures were clear, bright, focused and all I did was point/focus/shoot. It has a lot of built in smarts, so that it adjusts as you focus to shoot the scene. It also has some advanced features that I am still learning to use. Great “little” camera. The zoom part takes some getting use to. The view finder doesn’t work well, when you use the zoom feature.
5 Stars Love it!
This camera takes GREAT pictures. The quality of the pictures is better than I expected. The image stabilization works really well. None of my pictures have been blurred, even when I have accidentally moved while taking a picture. The colors are very vivid. Movies come out great as well.
My only concern is the door for the battery/memory card compartment. The hinge seems kind of flimsy, so I am extra careful whenever I open it.
Other than that - I would highly recommend this camera. And the red color is absolutely THE BEST!!!!!!!
LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
