An excellent camera. No regrets. Event liked the 4:3 aspect images in some ways as it allows icons to appear on the sides and images are clearly visible. Video quality is excellent. AF works just perfect. LCD allows you to take images at any angle....

Bought this DC 3 weeks ago after reading lots of reviews on various website (incl. CNET Asia of course). Came down to SX1 and Nikon's P90. Went with SX1 for the HD video. Wanted a megazoom instead of a DSLR to avoid having to invest more $ in lenses &...
Very good zoom & image stabilizer, love the flip over LCD, very useful shooting modes, HD video
Uses up batteries fast - when low battery indicator is on, only allows for about 5-10 shots more before shutdown. Priciest of the megazooms

One of the best superzooms we've seen, the Canon PowerShot SX1 IS offers a 20x zoom lens and HD video, which you can't get in similarly priced digital SLRs. It also delivers more features and slightly better performance and photo quality than the...
Relatively fast ; Good hi-def video ; Raw file support
Large ; Quirky interface ; Some image artefacts
Generally, photo quality tends to be the weakest aspect of superzooms, but the SX1's pictures are among the best in its class. While its colours aren't quite as good as the SX10's -- oranges, yellows, reds and purples are slightly off, although you...

With a 10-megapixel resolution and 20x zoom, this camera may seem wildly overpriced compared with Panasonic's FZ28. However, two key features differentiate it from most other ultra-zoom cameras.

The Canon PowerShot SX1 IS may just be the best featured point and shoot camera you can buy.
The £455 can buy you a DSLR with a couple of good lenses. But then, don't make the mistake of comparing the Canon PowerShot SX1 IS (an advanced point and shoot) to an SLR - the SX1's stupendous zoom and HD video recording cannot be got in an SLR at...
Nevertheless, had the SX1's price been less steep, it would have obtained a higher score - good as it undoubtedly is.

With 10 megapixels, 20x zoom and HD video recording, the SX1 IS has it all.
The PowerShot SX1 IS comes closer than any other compact still camera to matching the video capabilities of a dedicated HD camcorder, and no doubt there are some people out there who will find the 4fps continuous mode very useful for something or...

If you can bear to part with the cash, you won't be disappointed with the superb HD video and image quality of this superzoom camera.
Great image quality; full-HD video recording; 20x optical zoom; dSLR feature set
No external microphone input
The SX1 IS is a great camera for those who don't want the bulk of an SLR but desire the flexibility of different shooting modes and customizable options, with a long lens. The inclusion of (good quality) HD-video recording just makes the package even...

The good tone range offers less contoured shadow areas. Noise levels are low with the SX1 camera. Quiet zooming can be enjoyed during the recording process. Video quality constitutes saturated and sharp images that are nice to view. Exposure adjustment...
With more features, high photo quality and good performance, the Canon Powershot SX1 IS is a great option.

Maintaining the similar SLR-like styling and high ratio 20x zoom of its predecessor, the popular S5 IS model, Canon's new PowerShot SX1 IS adds several innovative features to the mix. Most notably, the SX1 IS is one of the first compacts to feature a...
Minor gripes aside, this is a great camera that we can heartily recommend
It's the same small 1/2.3in type (6.2 x 4.6mm) as that found in their other compacts, but the switch to Cmos may help reduce noise levels

We found this camera available online for considerably less than its £589 SRP, and although it is still expensive for a non-DSLR camera, the range of new technologies, solid design, far reaching zoom and Full HD movie capability should ensure the SX1...

Whether the action is fast or slow, close up or far away, you'll always get the shot you want with the PowerShot SX10 IS. This camera puts you on the cutting edge of advanced technology, with an incredibly powerful 20x optical zoom, 10-megapixel resolution, and DIGIC 4 image processor for high-performance face and motion detection.The PowerShot SX10 IS is equipped with a 20x optical zoom lens with a focal length of 5.0-100mm that allows you to shoot any scene from wide-angle to telephoto. The camera uses a VCM (Voice Coil Motor) for high-speed, quiet, energy-efficient lens movement with precise control. Focal length is conveniently indicated on the lens barrel.The lens is optimized to fully exploit its zoom length and wide shooting angle in concert with the camera's high 10.0-megapixel resolution. UD glass effectively suppresses chromatic aberration, while enhanced negative refractive power ensures that distortion at the wide-angle is also corrected. Further aberration is controlled with the inclusion of a double-sided aspherical glass-molded lens and ultra-high refraction index lens.The SX10 IS is equipped with Canon's acclaimed optical image stabilizer technology that automatically detects and corrects camera shake - one of the leading causes of fuzzy or blurred shots. Even when zoomed in, you can get the steady, crisp, brilliant images you'll be proud to shoot and share. And Canon's optical image stabilizer technology is convenient to use. It functions perfectly with or without a flash.
