The quality of the photographs taken with SX10IS is exceptionally outstanding. Taking photographs at close range with SX10IS 10MP camera will reveal the astonishing details. Capturing photos under normal light is amazing with its i-Contrast.

Of course, you can’t compare the quality of the pictures to the ones you take with a standalone DSLR lens. I still feel that this camera is very easy to use. I’m impressed how fast it starts. I think Canon Powershot SX10IS it is an ideal digital camera for those who can’t afford DSLR camera.

“I have found the lens to be just fine, even at max zoom. I also found that the lens is fast enough for indoor non flash photography.”

“But for the price this camera really does it all - the video is awesome and easy to use - clear, great picture and being able to use the 20X optical zoom (which you cannot hear at all when used!) is a huge plus.”

“If anyone is looking for a camera to just simply bring home the most pictures that everyone will want to look at, then this one is hard to beat.”

“The SD card door is separate from the battery door as it was with the S3IS. There are times that I just want to take a few pictures, and now I don’t have to open the battery door to take the SD card out and put in my PC’s card reader.”

“One really solid feature is the wide angle of the lens. This was not a feature I thought I wanted or needed. Now that I’ve seen the wide angle, I’ll never have another camera without it.”

“Pictures turn out very good even at high zooms. In an indoor-lit apartment, I can read fairly small print from a photo taken all the way across a room — it truly is amazing.”

“If you are looking for a camera that takes really good sports photos or any photos, I would recommend this camera.”

“The Canon PowerShot SX10 IS is an excellent choice if you need a camera with a monster 20x optical zoom, wide angle coverage and optical image stabilization. “

It is no doubt that this is what you should have if you want quality pictures.
