I was lured to the SX10 after 3 years of great satisfaction with the Canon SX2 IS. Many of my photos are taken indoors at church events. I prefer to avoid flash so that I can be as inconspicuous as possible, but occasionally I require it. With ISO 1600 capability and a hot shoe for external flash, the SX10 fits the bill.
Canon made all the right tradeoffs for my applications. AA batteries are preferable to proprietary lithium ions because of their widespread availability and low cost. Having 4 AA's instead of 2 is a good tradeoff that provides longer battery life at the expense of size and weight. The vari-angle LCD lets me take photos from all angles. I prefer point and shoot to DSLR because the cameras are less expensive and more convenient to carry and use. Like its predecessors in Canon's S-series, the SX10 lets you record audio for each shot which is a great convenience for documenting landmarks during my journeys. 10 megapixel resolution is more than adequate for the online pictures I mainly use and even for my occasional enlargements of 16x20. The controls are very convenient to access. The video quality is excellent. It seems like Canon thought of everything.
I haven't decided yet whether to buy a Canon flash for maximum compatibility or a different brand for less cost at the expense of reduced compatibility. Since I use flash infrequently, I can wait to make that decision. In a little more than a week I've taken 500+ photos to experiment with the camera. I'm very satisfied that the SX10 provides the improvements I sought.Get more detail about Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom.
