The Canon Powershot SX10is is a great little camera. Its lens is amazing going from extreme wideangle to extreme telephoto (in 35mm equivalents 28mm to 560mm). The ten megapixels enables you to digitally zoom out even further to 80 power.
I am a birder, and I wanted a handy camera to take picture of birds that that will yield a picture good enough to "prove" that I saw a particular bird. It is so nice not to be chained to a heavy tripod and a heavy birding scope in order to photograph birds.
My pictures don't match the best pictures made by serious bird photographers with expensive outfits with long telephoto lens and converters, but it gives me surprisingly sharp pictures.
The only criticism I have is one that I have read in other reviews. The camera has a "wheel" to select a feature that has to do with ISO or sensitivity to light, or in SCENE mode to pick what type of picture (fireworks, sunsets, etc) that you might want to use. It can be frustrating to get to the feature you want to use.
The second frustration is the way you call up a picture you've taken by pressing a button "way over in right field." I do like the ease with which you can take movies.
