TestSeek's Expert Reviews Summary
Staff at TestSeek has read all the expert reviews (so you don't have to) for this product and written a summary of what the editors think about the product.
On a first glance, the Can9on Powershot SX10 IS appears as a complex or sophisticated piece of equipment. With a 20x optical zoom, a 10 megapixel sensor, and a 2.5 inch flipout LCD twirl screen, it is a perfect choice for most photographers. It has an AA battery system, stereo quality sound for movies and an expressive screen. The SX10 IS gives a much wider and lengthier shot with a 28-560mm range installed. It also has a DIGIC 4 processor with a H.246 codec for video storage.
The camera also consists of a face-recognition software with an extra self-timer option which makes use of the face-detection while focusing is done. Shadowy images can be recreated using an enhanced i-Contrast feature which is enabled in the SX10 IS. The shutter-lag is very slight, with a receptive zoom system; and saving high resolution images takes below one second.

TestSeek's Conclusion
The Canon Powershot SX10 IS is not equipped to handle a through professional shooting set. It does not have an imager capable of high contrast issues, which leads to blowouts very often. It can be concluded that this is a camera purely for amateurs, and for those who do not feel that image resolution is the only thing that matters.

Abstract: Last September, Canon announced two new 10-megapixel PowerShot SX-series digicams: the SX1 IS and the SX10 IS. The PowerShot SX10 IS has many of the features of the SX1 IS model (which we have already reviewed) but uses a CCD sensor instead of a CMOS c...
Electronic viewfinder lacks detail and precision, Average battery life, Tends to overexpose shots
With a huge 20x optical zoom, the SX10 will win over those photographers who dont want the bulk of a dSLR but like the flexibility of different lens lengths. The electronic viewfinder and lacklustre LCD screen detract from the overall package though....
A fair bit of chromatic aberration, colours a little too strongly saturated
Another impressive entry into the mega-zoom market, Canon’s PowerShot SX10 IS captures good if not incredible snaps and offers a huge wide-angle zoom lens along with manual features. It’s a compelling option for more experienced users. ...
Excellent image quality, High zoom with great IS, Great video mode, Stereo audio recording, Tilt-N-Swivel screen
Heavy with 4 AA batteries, High image noise after ISO 400, Unoptimized night snapshot preset
ConclusionRs. 25,000 seems a bit too high for a non-DLSR digital camera, but considering that this is one camera that does it all, you do get your moneys worth. Excellent image quality, fast performance, and features that give you a major advantage in...
