I am by no means a photographer! I picked this camera for the 20x zoom and optical image stabilizer. I have a Konica-Minolta with a 12x zoom and no stabilier and knew I wanted more for this year's vacation. It was my 25th anniversary/second honeymoon. A trip to Africa. We went on several safari's and this camera gave me the ability to point and shoot without a great deal of fiddling around. Although grainy at full zoom (without a tripod) I still took over 2500 pictures and at least 1500 or more turned out beautifully.
The basics were easy to pick up and made the camera easy to use right away. Low light and night shots were pretty much a bust but I have to contribute at least part of that to my lack of general knowledge of trying to take pictures in those conditions. And, of course, being a man I must also admit to not reading the directions! If any readers have tips, I would be interested - THANKS IN ADVANCE!
End result, I didn't miss a lion, giraffe, cheetah or elephant because of the camera. The bad shots were often my inability to hold the subject in frame at a high zoom level and of course, there were many moving targets! All in all, this camera allowed me to have pictures that I will cherish the rest of my life! Who knows, before the next big adventure I might even get someone to show me how to use it properly!!Get more detail about Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom.
