Very pleased with this purchase. I am happy with my new camera and Canon PowerShot A2100IS takes very good pictures. I recommend Canon PowerShot A2100IS to anyone that wants something more than a shirt pocket camera and less than a SLR camera. Only 2 small criticisms, I wish Canon PowerShot A2100IS had a lens cap attached on a tether and threads on the lens so I could add filters.
Good solid camera - spectacular lens!. Although I own several Nikon SLR digital cameras along with numerous lenses, I decided to try out the Canon SX10IS for a recent trip in stead of logging all those heavy lenses along. I was not disappointed. When by chance I came upon a large crowd of parrots devouring tree blossoms in San Francisco, I was able to capture the phenomenon with Canon PowerShot A2100IS camera hand held. Several other professional photographers present expressed envy, since they were crouched in various contortions with their 18-inch lenses on tripods, only to get the same results I did.
The numerous direct-control features on Canon PowerShot A2100IS camera were also a welcome change from the command menu layers one normally will have to content with on most equipment of Canon PowerShot A2100IS type.
But many of the controls and menu items are quite confusing, requiring extensive reading of the manual. In other words, they require a good deal of preparation. They are not naturally logical.
Even so, Canon PowerShot A2100IS is a most capable camera and well worth the price.
Previous S3 IS owner - this one is OK, I guess. I owned and loved my PowerShot S3 IS for several years. The S3 IS was a great camera and I really enjoyed Canon PowerShot A2100IS - that is I *liked* using it. I enjoyed taking pictures with it. Canon PowerShot A2100IS was a great camera.
Then I sold Canon PowerShot A2100IS to a friend and "upgraded" to this SX10 IS. Frankly, I generally regret parting with my venerable S3 IS.
In comparison:
* The S3 IS was smaller. Physically, if you measure, the ruler says that the SX10 is not that much bigger -- but the feel of the SX10 is heavy and clunky.
* The controls of the S3 were much easier to manipulate by touch (i.e. I'm looking thought the eye-piece and changing settings by feel) -- this SX10 seems much more difficult to do the same thing, I and find I have to look at the controls more.
* The lens cap on the S3 IS was tethered - attached - and I could flip Canon PowerShot A2100IS off with the flick of one finger and know I'm not going to lose. Whereas, the lens cap of the SX10 is NOT tethered and attaches differently making Canon PowerShot A2100IS hugely inconvenient for the "quick-shot" you might try to capture. In my experience, more often than not, the lens cap falls off as I'm taking the camera out of my camera bag and is prone to fly off and get lost. VERY annoying. My intension is to attach a thin string somehow.
* Frankly, I see almost NO difference in the Digic III processor in this SX10 than I did in the Digic II processor of the S3 IS. IF the SX10 dropped fewer frames when snapping a pic during movie mode, that would be great - but I see no difference.
There are many other small annoyances between the S3 and the SX10 that I won't belabor here.
On the plus side, I will admit that the 20x Zoom is nice.
Summary:
IF you are contemplating upgrading from an S3 IS or an S5 IS, my advice is to give this one a pass and keep your current camera UNLESS you really want the 20x zoom.
