10x optical zoom, crisp pictures, great colour

Some noise issues, burst mode could be faster

The PowerShot SX100 is a solid ultra-zoom advanced camera. While there are bigger lenses on the market, the 10x optical zoom here means the unit still fits comfortably in a pocket and the images, while a little noisy, are good at low ISO sensitivities.

Good resolution Clean and detailed image output at all zoom settings Very efficient image stabilization Fast, reliable focus (except in low light at longer focal lengths) Reliable exposure Good white balance and accurate color (in daylight) Clear and...

Noise and noise reduction artefacts showing in fine texture even at low ISO Very slow flash recycling (especially when batteries are weak) Images a bit soft viewed at 100% - benefit from a little sharpening ISO 800 and above only suitable for emergency...

The SX100 IS is a bit of a wallflower, both in terms of design and specification. It is not ugly, but it certainly won't turn any heads either, it has a fairly good spec and feature set but nothing that we haven't seen somewhere else before. 'Solid' is...

Great quality- shoots breathtaking 8 megapixel stillsVersatile- shots up to ISO 1600 at 10x optical/4x digital zoom

Compact- a little on the bulky sideNeeds power- short battery lifeSlow- image processing and warm-up time frustrate

The Canon PowerShot SX100 IS is a sensible, inexpensive option for those who want that big zoom power without having to embark on a steep learning curve.

First-rate photo quality; full set of manual exposure controls; optical image stabilization; electronic lens cover.

Too easy to accidentally click instead of scroll when navigating; no optical zoom in movie capture.

Though the Canon PowerShot SX100 produces excellent photos, other aspects of the camera--some performance issues and operational annoyances, to name two--dim its luster.

So does the Canon PowerShot SX100 IS live up to its billing as a super zoom for all the family? OK, so it eats up batteries in a particularly greedy fashion and images can be noisy if you stray above ...

Excellent 10x zoom lens ; Optical image stabilization ; Pretty accurate exposure metering ; Good sharpness ; Good color without oversaturation common in consumer digicams ; Useful ISO range from 80 to 1,600 ; Minimal lens distortion ; Reasonably...

Not pocket-friendly ; Quite a bit of chromatic aberration extending well into the image ; Some consumers may find the images undersaturated ; High contrast in harsh lighting ; Noise (and the effects of noise reduction) can be intrusive, particularly at...

The Canon PowerShot SX100 IS stores images on Secure Digital or MultiMediaCard media, including the newer (and higher capacity) SDHC types. Images are framed and reviewed on a 2.5-inch color LCD display with 172,000 pixels -- not particularly high...
