Canon PowerShot SX10 review

The Canon PowerShot SX10's marquee feature here is a 20x optical zoom that translates, in the film world, from an awesome 28mm wide-angle to a 560mm telephoto lens; the SX10 covers landscapes, portraits, and stealthy nature shots in one chunky little...

Overall, the Canon PowerShot SX10 should appeal to plenty of enthusiasts for its reliable, high-quality performance and its laudable ability to mimic a video camera with its swivel screen, not to mention its advanced controls. This is a very competent...

Canon Power Shot SX10is : Canon Power Shot SX10 IS

If a full DSLR unit is either out of your pocket or out of your skill set then the next best thing is something like this Power Shot SX10 is. It outwardly looks like a DSLR and has superb 20x zoom on it's built in lens.

You would need a copious pocket as the SX10 measures 12x10x8cm, fully zoomed this adds 5.5cm to the middle figure the width and it weights 670grams. Having attached the neck strap, insert 4x‘AA’ batteries and an SD card you are ready to go. As with all...

Powerful 20x optical zoom bridges the gulf between amateur and professional photography

Canon Powershot SX10 IS

The Canon Powershot SX10 IS is one of the best super zoom digital cameras on the market. It has a wide array of features and did well in all my tests. It has 10 megapixels and a wide angle, 20x optical zoom lens. This camera is well worth close...

Photo quality - features - flip out and twist LCD screen - optical zoom available for movies

Camera has a plastic feel

This is an excellent super zoom digital camera. Photos are pin sharp and it has a wide range of features. If you are on the lookout for a digital camera with lots of zoom power then you could do a lot worse than picking up the Powershot SX10 IS.

Canon PowerShot SX10 IS

Huge 20x wide angle zoom lens

20x optical zoom, wide-angle lens, image stabilisation, sharp pics, speedy performance

A fair bit of chromatic aberration, colours a little too strongly saturated

Another impressive entry into the mega-zoom market, Canon's PowerShot SX10 IS captures good if not incredible snaps and offers a huge wide-angle zoom lens along with manual features. It's a compelling option for more experienced users.
