    3 Stars Canon Powershot SX1 IS Not as good as I expected 24/02/2009
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages a point and shoot 20x lens, reasonably good LCD screen

    Disadvantages Disadvantages image quality not great, pretty useless viewfinder, can be overly complicated to setup, CD manual

    The Canon Powershot SX1 IS seems to offer the impossible, read the reviews and it seems image quality is great, the lens has an amazing range of 28-560mm, its image stabilised, its got high quality move mode, ... Having taken about 500 pictures with it so far I am not that impressed. Take the camera out of the box charge some batteries add an SD card and see what you have got. The lens diameter is miniscule when compared to an SLR , nothing unexpected or revolutionary there then, so don't expect superb image quality especially in low light. Read the manual, er it looks ever so complicated, so ... more

    5 Stars A Priceless Possession 18/11/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages ability to shoot at any condition, user friendly and auto zoom

    Disadvantages Disadvantages very expensive, might be stolen

    I have been a Canon camera user in my college days. With Canon camera, you can be sure that every shot really counts. Its resolution is crystal clear and the photo captures vivid description of the subject. For all these years, Canon have had always gone with the latest high-tech fad in photography. Its Canon PowerShot SX1 IS speaks of Canon's eccentric character as a digital camera in the cutting edge of high quality performance. Its auto focus characteristics and its ability to capture moving objects in real time is something other camera manufacturers envy. Since time immemorial, Canon has ... more

    4 Stars Canon Powershot 03/11/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages high quality,good zoom

    Disadvantages Disadvantages difficult for beginers

    The Canon powershot SX1 IS is a gem of a product. It features the latest in technology and design and has awesome picture clarity. Although it can be a bit daunting to use for a newcomer, this thing works like magic once you get used to it. I found it very good to shoot moving images and it hardly gave me any blur effect. The camera features a 10 megapixel with 20X optical zoom and shoots at 4 frames per second which is very good. I had a beautiful shot of the hills at sunset with this beauty of a product and that one picture alone negates any of the discomfort that you might find initially ... more

    5 Stars Quick review of Canon PowerShot SX1 IS by peterout 14/11/2008
    This camera is not released yet so the 'review' already here is a piece of fluffy nonsense I'm afraid. Wait for a review from someone who has actually got the camera - which won't be until December.

    5 Stars Quick review of Canon PowerShot SX1 IS by micachu17 04/12/2008
    excellent and priceless for people who loves photography .It is a very powerful device not easily breakable but at the same time is very heavy i.e not for girly hands . A great camera to buy esp if you are thinking of touring to different countries.
