I purchased the Canon PowerShot SX10IS shortly before our vacation last month and I had a lot of fun learning its features during our trip and took many, many pictures and lots of video. I am not a camera expert nor a big photo person but I found the camera easy to use (reading the manual from time to time was important). I especially liked the ability to zoom in and out while taking video. I would recommend the camera, great value for the price, but it does have a couple deficiencies and an ease-of-use problem that need correction. I hope you are listening, Canon.
First, the lens cap will not stay on. We finally gave up and did without it, which probably limits the camera's life.
Second, the battery life is limited. During those days when I used the camera alot, I ran through a set of four alkaline AA batteries in one day. Be sure to have lots of extra batteries on hand! (Especially of you review your pictures at the end of the day, this seems to eat up lots of energy, so we stopped doing that.)
Third, as other reviewers have noted, the control knob is difficult to learn how to use. Thankfully one of the other reviewers here on Amazon gave me some insight. I am now able to adjust shutter speed, aperture, etc. See the comment from Robert Hughes below.
Overall I love using the camera.
