After being in the Sony camp with its DSC-F707 for almost seven years before it finally died, I was going to stick with the company, but when others came out with 20x zoom I gave in to diversity (since nature photography is a big thing for me the zoom is a godsend). I purchased a camera from another company only to send it back because it never seemed to focus when it said it was focused, so I wasn't sure what Canon could do in its place.
Boy am I glad I gave them a try. I have yet to find anything wrong other than no lens cap tether (but it clips onto the strap so I'm not crying or anything yet). Even at the far end of the zoom (yea, even in the digital zoom) the pictures are great. It's hard to keep a subject in frame in the high end of digital zoom unless you can keep the camera REALLY still- the image stabilization keeps adjusting for your slightest twitch, but that was expected. I stumbled on great subjects on my first trip out with it (heron chicks, kingfisher in midair) so that probably helped. I can even take better self-portraits since the rear screen revolves out and around so you can check your framing while being in front of the camera!
Something tells me I'll have this one for as long as it'll have me. Good job, Canon!Get more detail about Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom.
