Great megazoom!

Jun 5, 2009

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Very good zoom & image stabilizer, love the flip over LCD, very useful shooting modes, HD video,
Cons: Uses up batteries fast - when low battery indicator is on, only allows for about 5-10 shots more before shutdown. Priciest of the megazooms.
Opinion:
Bought this DC 3 weeks ago after reading lots of reviews on various website (incl. CNET Asia of course). Came down to SX1 and Nikon's P90. Went with SX1 for the HD video. Wanted a megazoom instead of a DSLR to avoid having to invest more $ in lenses & stuff. A perfect upgrade from my old point & shoot as I wanted to take pics indoors and action shots. Zoom and IS comes in handy. Pic & vid quality is very good. Altho noisy at ISO above 400, all megazooms have this disadvantage. I am happy I chose the SX1 as it fulfilled all my needs.

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 :web.canon.jp...
