    Quality/Value

    By Silvia  Feb 21, 2008 | 7 out of 8 found this Canon PowerShot SX100 IS review helpful

    Pros: Good value for price, easy to use, high quality pics.

    Cons: Lots of pics ruined by red eye effect

    I had a canon power shot before, and it just stopped working on me after a year of use. I was not so convinced about buying another canon power shot, but after 4 months, the SX100 IS has changed my mind and I am now glad I purchase it.

    Great Manual Controls

    By Steven  Jan 22, 2009

    Pros: easy to adjust manual controls

    Cons: slow shutter

    I like to be able to adjust shutter speed, aperture, and focus manually. The interface on this camera is much, much, much better than older Canon cameras I've owned. If you like other Canon point-and-shoots, and you want manual control, this is t...he ticket.I rarely use flash, so I don't run into problems with red eye or battery life.The CCD chip is noisy at high ISO settings, but the performance seems reasonable at this price point.I think this is about as good as it gets for a point-and-shoot. Lens quality is very good, but obviously not as good as a pro camera. The 10x zoom is another nice feature that older Canon cameras lacked. Read more Less

    Good for beginners

    Overall, a solid B+

    By Lynn  Nov 25, 2008 | 0 out of 1 found this Canon PowerShot SX100 IS review helpful

    Pros: great features

    Cons: clunky

    I got this camera to replace another powershot. I use it as my "small camera" to complement my Rebel XTi. Overall, I love it because it has the same controls as the Rebel and takes very good pictures. Two downsides: one, the body is bulkier... than comparable cameras, so it's a bit clunky to carry around in your pocket.; two, it only produces jpegs, not raw images. Read more Less

    Amazing!

    By Alisha  Jun 29, 2008 | 0 out of 1 found this Canon PowerShot SX100 IS review helpful

    Pros: Photo/Video quailty

    Cons: Size and battery useage

    It's pretty big but it's one of the best point and shoot camera's out there. Great quality of pictures and videos. It runs out of battery very quickly and it useless because you have to buy AA batteries instead of having a rechargeable on...e. It's kind of pointless. Read more Less

    Not worth the Price

    By Gecko  May 28, 2008 | 2 out of 7 found this Canon PowerShot SX100 IS review helpful

    Pros: Small, easy to use, fast

    Cons: blurry pictures, must use flash

    We checked Consumer Reports to find a good camera and this one ranked at the top. We spent $300 and thought we had a small camera of great quality that would be handy to take pictures of our new baby. This camera has not lived up to the CR report. Mo...st pictures are blurry unless you use the flash. Any picture taken up close is blurry and most images are not as sharp as I would expect from a digital camera of this high pixel range. It's simply not worth the money. I wouldn't buy it again even at a third of the price. Read more Less
