Almost exactly what I was looking for

(Review From amazon)
General Comments:
I have had a bunch of digital camera's that have treated me right... Sony, Casio and Canon. However this one is has almost everything I would want in a NON-SLR camera.

PRO's
* Excellent camera for the price
* Support SDHC
* Uses standard AA batteries
* Flash hot-shoe
* DIGIC 4 delivers excellent image quality
* Lens is awesome
* Love the rotating screen.
* there's more but those are the main points

CON's
* Little bit bigger and heavier than the market competition camera's but it is not a huge hinderance
* The menu's let you do a lot of cool things but it takes some getting used to and it not the most intuitive.
* Built in flash is crappy but you cant expect the built-in flash to be great. It's good for emergencies.
* As in other reviews the scroll wheel feels a little "off", not enough to be a problem but it could be designed better.

Overall I am very pleased with this camera. I previously bought a Fuji S1000 - 10 Megapixel camera and it was a completely piece of crap compared to this one. I am very glad I returned that and spent the extra money on this one. My father is a pro-photographer and he has always used Canon, even in the film days. I will also stick with Canon from this point on, because it works and works good.

A Comparative Review

(Review From amazon)
General Comments:
I own two other Canon cameras, A Digital Rebel Xt DSLR with two zoom lenses and a Power Shot A720 IS. The DSLR is used for serious photography and the A720 for informal family pictures and things like fishing. As I am getting older I am finding that the DSLR outfit is getting harder to carry so I was looking for a lighter outfit when I did not want to carry it. At first I thought that getting auxiliary lenses for the A720 would do the job but found it too bulky and inconvenient. Then Canon came out with the SX 10 IS. I got the first one my local dealer got in. It is far more versatile than the A720 but only slightly larger. It covers the complete focal length range I need for almost all picture taking needs. The quality of the pictures is slightly better than the already very good A720 at most ranges. At the extreme telephoto end it loses some as expected. Of course it is not as good as the DSLR but how can one expect a camera that sells for under 400 dollars to be as good as one that was over 1000 dollars? I was able to get close to the DSLR quality with a little help from my Photoshop Elements.

The camera is light for what it does and very convenient. I like the variable angle viewing for odd angle shots as close to the ground and the electronic viewfinder for bright situations. The electronic viewfinder is best for telephoto use as you can hold the camera steadier. The image stabilizer works all the way out to the 560mm equivalent but I recommend taking several pictures just in case. I like the fact that I don't have to carry extension tubes for close ups. The camera has too many other useful features to mention here. I have used it for over a month now and feel I got more than my moneys worth.
