Canon Powershot SX100 IS Review Discussion

[Jim Keenan]

The Canon Powershot SX100 IS offers a blend of automatic and manual shooting options that should appeal to a broad range of users. The novice can shoot in auto with confidence that the camera won’t let her down, and the more experienced user can make use of the manual controls to exert creative license on their shots. This relatively compact camera mounts a 10x optical zoom lens and offers good shutter performance, image color and quality along with optical stabilization.

Thanks for the great review. I've been looking forward to a review of this very model.

Hi,

I am a novice to digital cameras and have recently purchased a Canon SX 100 IS.

However, I find the image quality blurring ( lack of focus) when I zoom a distant object in the Auto Mode.

The focus has to be set by 1/2 clicking the button before taking a picture.

I tried another such camera on display at Circuit city and found this issue was not existing there ( the camera was able to correctly focus on full zoom).

Is there some setting which I am missing or is there some defect with my camera.

Would appreciate an early reply.

Sx100 is indeed a good camera as advertised by canon its a Highend digital camera however its not more difference than point and shoot cameras. If we compare it with S5-IS that is also 8 megapixels highend digital camera we come to know the difference that is huge along with the price. I found a very simple article yet very helpful on comparison for both digital cameras
