Canon PowerShot SX100 IS (silver) review

First-rate photo quality; full set of manual exposure controls; optical image stabilization; electronic lens cover.

Canon PowerShot SX100 IS

By Lori Grunin (cnet.co.uk)

Canon PowerShot SX100 IS Digital Camera Review

By Karen M. Cheung (digitalcamerainfo.com)

The Canon PowerShot SX100 IS joins the small yet growing breed of mid-range zooms in portable point-and-shoot bodies.

10x optical zoom with optical image stabilization, Ergonomic hand grip for better handling, Excellent color accuracy, Sharp resolution, Good performance in low-light conditions, Video, Plenty of manual control, Affordable price for a 10x camera

Very noisy at ISO 800 and 1600, Poor dynamic range above ISO 80, Slow burst rate, Scene modes separated into a menu and mode dial, Rotary control dial is too sensitive

The Canon PowerShot SX100 IS makes a solid impression. As the first in Canon's new line, the SX100 IS performs well with its optical image stabilization and updated face detection. Even more, Canon earns major innovation points for the Face Select Tool, w...

"excellent pictures; gruesome battery killer!"

By micdixon (cnet.com)

Nothing much more to add. Enough's been said ... 

Nothing much more to add. Enough's been said already 'bout the good qualities of this baby. Though I would've liked to have it in black (wasn't available)

Battery life very poor, perhaps a manufacturing defect. Bought this camera in a store here in Lagos, Nigeria. The 1st thing noticed after @ 15 photos was "change the batteries".

"easy to use, large LCD, excellent picture quality"

By pj1165 (cnet.com)

1.Ease of use, just set it to "auto" and anyone can use it by just point and click.

1. auto focus does not always focus on subject I want to take picture of.
