User Review for Canon PowerShot SX1 IS

« See all reviews

Great Product with some limitations

May 29, 2009

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Super zoom is great fun to use
Cons: focusing in low light is slow and difficult
Opinion:
A great camera that is easy to use with good colours and sharpness.
Noise at high ISO. Slow and difficulties focusing in low light condition can be very frustrating when the next door simple, point and shoot unit can do it easily.
Good news: Raw mode firmware is now available for downloading at :http://web.canon.jp/imaging/dcp/firm-e/pssx1is/index.html
