Relatively fast; good HD video; raw file support.
Big; quirky interface; some image artifacts.
A top megazoom option, the Canon PowerShot SX1 IS offers a 20x zoom lens and HD video, which you cant get in a similarly priced dSLR, and delivers more features and slightly better performance and photo quality than the cheaper SX10 IS.
