As a amateur nature photographers, you can find it difficult to capture good close ups without getting too close.

You can capture picture close up or far away like a pro with Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP digital camera.

Power SX101S is making its foray into the range of Canon digital cameras. It is an upgrade on the S5IS. The upgraded model now includes enhanced DIGIC4, enabling you to snap uninterrupted photographs for subjects in motion, and magnified resolution of 10 mega pixels.

It features massive 20x optical zoom, allowing you to capture shots at amazing range with negligible distortion. Furthermore, you can capture candid moments from subjects who don’t realize they are being photographed.

The range for its wide angle is amazing. It measures from 28mm to 560mm. This is important feature to snap photographs shots for close ups and far away.

Its face recognition technology recognizes human faces at most angles. On the display screen, you will see a focusing rectangles on the faces when it completes the face detection. This makes it easier for you to focus on them.

If you are using a long lens, then the additional of optical image stabilization (OIS) and motion detection in SX10IS is a plus point.

Canon Powershot SX10IS camera is larger than its forerunner. It can be bulky for beginners. Soon, your fingers will adapt to the design of the camera and you no longer have problems with shaky pictures due to the improved grip. Another good thing about the new grip is that you can prevent the camera from dropping.

However, the quality of the shot taken with a standalone DSLR lens is better than SX10IS. Overall, it is easy to use. It starts up fast. For beginners, this camera would be a perfect choice. You can save money instead of investing in a DSLR camera.

I wouldn’t be surprised if you have visited the reviews at CNET or DPREVIEW. But the best comments actually come from the users themselves. We took the liberty of extracting some quotations of the users from Amazon.com, Shopping.com, and digital camera forums. Following this Canon Powershot SX10IS review, it would justify the purchase of Canon Powershot SX10IS.

“In initial testing, the face detection technology seems to work well. I can take a self portrait now and the lighting comes out very good. I think the technology has gone from buzzword marketing to true usefulness.”

“But for the price this camera really does it all – the video is awesome and easy to use – clear, great picture and being able to use the 20X optical zoom (which you cannot hear at all when used!) is a huge plus.”

“The image stabilization is pretty good and even if you are moving (hands not stiff as well) the picture comes out great.”

“Forget the time setting up a tripod since it has built-in image stability. Forget changing lenses for the scenery shot versus the distance shot. The image quality is very good, has more mega pixels than my Rebel, and even fits in my wife’s purse.”

“One really solid feature is the wide angle of the lens. This was not a feature I thought I wanted or needed. Now that I’ve seen the wide angle, I’ll never have another camera without it.”

“Pictures turn out very good even at high zooms. In an indoor-lit apartment, I can read fairly small print from a photo taken all the way across a room — it truly is amazing.”

“This machine makes almost all shots look like good ones. If you don’t want to bother about anything, just select the AUTO function and zoom to the point of getting in the picture what you want.”

“Functionally, I’m very impressed so far. This is a significant reworking of the S5, rather than a previous model lightly warmed over.”

This camera in a good investment for taking great photos.
