Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom Buy Now


I bought this as an upgrade to my trusty old Canon S2. Based on 3 days experience, the photographic aspect of the camera is great - better than the S2 particularly the 28mm wide angle. However, I have a few little complains on the ergonomic side.

(1) The cammera is significantly larger and heavier than the S2. And it is bit of a pain since I cannot reuse my old S2 camera case.

(2) The SX10 comes with a clip-on lens cap which is pretty finicky to put on in comparison to the S2 plastic lens cap which I can easily and quickly slap on to the lens housing. Furthermore, while the S2 cap comes with a string to be attached to the camera body. That is not the case with the SX10. So I can see losing my lens cap pretty soon.

(3) The inside grip on the S2 is kind of sanded so it can be gripped firmly. The grip on the SX10 is smooth and a bit slippery. It does not offer me as firm and confident a grip as the S2, particularly when the camera is heavier. May be it will become less slippery with time.

Other than the above, good camera.Get more detail about Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom.
