    I got this for christmas as a gift and took it out the box and just started taking pictures..very easy to use but must read the manual to understand how the whole thing works.

    canon sx100 is

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 11, 2008 | 4 out of 4 found this Canon PowerShot SX100 IS review helpful

    Pros: flash on and off

    Cons: would be nice to have an eye piece.

    ive had several cameras and this is one of my favorites. first to shut the flash on and off you just flip the flash up and down.no lenghty menus to go thru to turn it off. i also found that this camera takes awesome pictures. we had a camera that had... more megapixels than this one but its picture quality was terrible compared to this one. dont always believe them numbers. it takes a great long distant inside picture without darkening the image like alot of others do. it could use a eyepiece though for those sunny days. other than that this camera deserves a A++ for the quality of pictures it takes,it could easily be placed beside many more expensive units and you wouldnt even know !!

    BEST CAMERA I HAVE BOUGHTEN

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 24, 2008 | 3 out of 3 found this Canon PowerShot SX100 IS review helpful

    Pros: I like the 10x Optical Zoom and the Flash!

    Cons: N/A

    I have a month with this Camera, the fact that is a Canon camera you're thinking it's a very high quality camera. Before I bought this camera I was doing a lot of searching for this camera and in every review it had the 5 STARS and had a lot ...of great reviews. I have taken a lot of great pictures. I've using this camera for a lot of different usages. I like the fact you could use when ever you need to use it. I was impressed with the video, it looked liked if I had taken it with a camcorder. I liked this camera I hope so do you! Read more Less

    Great camera for its purpose and price!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 9, 2008 | 1 out of 1 found this Canon PowerShot SX100 IS review helpful

    Pros: Best value for our use at home and vacations

    Cons: Lengthy process to understand all of its settings

    Had researched many digital cameras by internet and friends. Found that Canon was the best buy and quality for my needs. "Office Depot" had dropped its price $50 in one week from the time I looked at it and bought it. Will take it on vacati...on this coming week. Read more Less

    Oh boy, here we go. BAD Canon.

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 23, 2009

    Pros: Great pictures when it takes.

    Cons: Not a durable or reliable camera.

    I bought this camera in May of 2008 because I had an old (26 yrs) 35mm Canon that I loved and it always took great photos. After about 6 months, the camera started to fail to focus at random. The lens jammed in September '08 and would not retract.... It gave me a reset message. I took it to the photo supply dealer that sold it to me and the owner replaced the batteries which made no difference. He finally bumped the camera on his hand and the lens retracted. By November of '08, the camera would not focus at all and he sent it off for it's first repair which took about 3 weeks. The repair only had a 90 day warranty by Canon. In February, the camera begain to stop focusing again but I thought it was lighting/white balance at the car show where it was being used. By the end of march (more than 90 days later) it stopped focusing again. Canon made a "good will repair" with no warranty. Now, four months later (July) it has started to randomly fail to focus again and the lens rattles when focusing or zooming. I paid $399.00 for the camera. If I had paid the $125.00 they originally quoted me for the second repair I would have $524.00 invested in a camera that now would (or soon will be) useless and only lasted 1 year and 2 months of very light use. I will not buy another Canon product for a very, very, very long time if ever. Read more Less

    Great Buy

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 25, 2009

    Pros: good zoom and high quality pictures

    Cons: batteries and flash charge length

    Experts say the human eye can't tell the difference between 6megapixels and higher.The big difference after that is the optical zoom.The zoom on this camera is great and the pictures turn out really good every time. It has an "easy mode"...;,which even tells you if you need to lift up the flash. But,after a while,you'll figure out all the options. I'm not a fan of the fact that it uses alkaline batteries though.It makes the camera heavier, and you have to constantly change batteries,specially if you're using the flash.And the flash sometimes takes a while to charge before you can take another picture. It's not pocket-sized,but it's not huge and bulky either.Its quality is worth its size and its all worth the price!I love it! Read more Less
