  Strengths: The camera more than meets my needs.

  Weaknesses:Can't find info.

  Overall Evaluation: Is there a limit to the size of the memory card this camera can use? In short, what do you recommend for a memory card? I am considering 8GB or 16GB SanDisk cards. (I bought a 16GB on e-Bay and it became corrupted about a month into it and I lost many "once in a lifetime" images. Oh the woe of an apparent bargain.)Sorry this isn't a review, but I haven't found this info.elsewhere.

  Strengths: Easy To Use, Good Image Quality, Good Image Stabilization, Great Zoom, Large Clear LCD

  Weaknesses:Easy To Use, Good Image Quality, Good Image Stabilization, Great Zoom, Large Clear LCD,Heavier construction like the G11 woulda been nice.

  Overall Evaluation: I sold off my 20D DSLR and Sigma 24-70mm cuz it was a lot to lug.I go where there is crowds or on Mountain Bike trips a DSLR was a bit much.Found myself grabbing the Wifes Pro-1 more than my 20D!So when I saw this was out and how powerful the zoom was.... 28-560mm....I had to give it a try. So far it hasn't disappointed me.It can be used Full Auto or Full Manual. Great for the Beginner or the Advanced Ameture like myself.I like the fact that it takes standard AA Batts.Canon batts aren't cheap...AA's can be bought anywhere for nominal dinero. I recommend Energizer E2 rechargeable batteries. They make a 15 min FAST charger for Car or Home.Standard AA Alkaline will work also tho.Woulda like to have had a remote system for thisWireless prefered.Rotary dial is tricky to use at times.You hafta manually lift the flash when you want it. Found that kinda odd on a newer camera!The threads on the lens are pretty weak for adding filters (52mm) disappointed in that.Macro mode is pretty incredible!The HD Video this lil camera does is amazing as is the stereo sound that goes with em.I still give the SX20IS 5 stars cuz we all know there is no such thing as a perfect Camera that has everything!Combine this with a G11 and you'd be pretty close!(I have been a Photographer for 20+ years and Digital for 9 years)

  Duration of ownership: 5 Weeks

  Strengths: Takes very nice pictures; light weight; uses AA batteries so extra batteries and a charger are not necessarily required to take along. Pictures with 20x zoom and digital zoom are awesome!

  Weaknesses:Lens error

  Overall Evaluation: I've had the camera for just about 5 weeks. I haven't used it much because when I zoom with the camera I get a "lens error, restart camera" message. The camera shuts down and does not turn on right away. Several good shots have been lost due to the camera error. I have returned the camera to Canon for repair or replacement. We'll see what happens. If it wasn't for the lens error, I would highly recommend this camera and would purchase again.

  Strengths: High quality pictures. Great zoom with fine clarity and color retention. Easy to use and carry

  Weaknesses:Not capable of RAW images.

  Overall Evaluation: I feel this camera is an excellent choice for any enthusiast. If you just take picture without much photo editing, RAW images is no concern. But if you like to shoot RAW and then edit, you will be disappointed.The IS works well, and the 20x zoom is phenomenal. I also use a Canon D20, and I find myself looking at the SX10 as the "go to" camera.

  Strengths: Fantastic pictures. Color reproduction and clarity are incredible. Lens versatility is outstanding from wide angle to 20X being crisp and clear. The image stabilization is also very affective.

  Weaknesses:The included lens cap's a bit on the cheap side. Get a 52MM cap and keeper. As mentioned by others, the camera has no provision for filter attachment. Hope some outfit comes out with an adapter.

  Overall Evaluation: Both my wife and I have one of these cameras and together, on our recent trip to the Grand Canyon, took well over 2000 shots. Yep, over 9 gigs worth and I'll put must of them up against the postcards you can buy of the canyon any day. I've got stills of Condors in flight so clear that you can see the veins of their feathers and the radio tracking transmitters on their wings. Does every picture you take give you what you want? No of course not, but it's not the camera necessarily but the shooter. That's why we took over 2000 shots. Having said that, most of them did indeed turn out quite well. The features of this camera are far too numerous to cover here and can be quite intimidating to a novice shutter bug. However, this camera can be left on auto for newbies and it will do you proud. Happy shooting.

The SX10 IS is a great megazoom camera to carry around: lightweight, with a 20X optical zoom and decent video-recording capabilities.
