This seems extreme. If you can't get decent shots inside with this then I would have it checked under warranty. It's a reasonably fast lens and a reasonably long throw for the flash for a camera like this. On pbase.com I see shot after shot of indoor stuff all looking quite nice really.Also... judging from shots like flikr and pbase etc, as well as pro reviews, the a630 seems to generally have hands down better image quality than the lz7.Again... I would have yours looked at from what you are saying.

Brewsky: I believe the SX10IS will be better for photos (for my use) because of the noise level. If you look at the compared photos between SX10IS and SX1IS the noise is much worse on the SX1IS photos. I guess it depends on what is most important to you and what your primary use is. If you want the HD video and higher fps, go for the SX1IS. Personally, I'm still on the fence... :-)

I'm kind of in the same situation Hamlet. They both look great, and I can't decide which one to pull the trigger on. I have a Canon XTi DSLR that I use and love but I want something smaller for travel and one of these seems to fit the bill. Did you make a choice yet? If you have what one did you pick up? I'm also looking at the Sony HX5V.

I recommend the Canon A720IS !!!!! My pet pictures are breathtaking (IMO) and I'll put a couple up to prove it! (If I can figure out how)

I haven't tried the A720IS (I assume that's the one you're looking at) but a quick glance at the specs and photos leads me to believe the Powershot SX100IS is easier to control, i.e. it's easier to use manual settings and control the flash. (I always had problems with compact cameras where the flash would go off when I didn't want it, and when I thought I had it turned off. With the SX100IS the flash doesn't go off unless you actually lift it up, so there is no problem with accidental flash. This suits my needs, but might not be important to you.) Both cameras have a similar sensor, both use SD cards, both use 2 AA batteries, and the size and weight are not all that different. Both have face detection and image stabilization, though it's important to consider how important these features are and how easy they are to turn on/off when you need them. Both cameras have a 2.5" screen. The biggest difference I can see, aside from the layout of the controls, is the zoom, and this is a pretty big deal to many people. The A270IS has a 6x zoom, which is already twice the zoom of an average compact camera, but the SX100IS has a 10x zoom which really makes a difference. My dad uses this camera and on a recent family trip he was getting similar shots using the 10x zoom as I was getting on my DSLR with a 300mm lens! So you get a lot more freedom from the longer zoom, and it is ideal for shooting wildlife. I believe the only thing the A720IS can do that the SX100IS cannot is use lens adapters. If this is a concern for you, then you'll want to stick with the A720IS. Otherwise, I highly recommend the SX100IS, but try to test both cameras at your local store even if you plan on purchasing them from Amazon (which I also recommend).

I had the SD630 for 1 year and never had a problem taking pictures outdoor. To the person with the first reply, well maybe you shouldn't be dropping the digital camera :)

I just purchased the T500 and I'm very happy with it. If you don't see yourself taking any video, then the T700 is more feature rich. But, if you'll use the video feature the T500 is significantly better. The T500's HD video in decent lighting is impressive for such a small camera. The T500 screen resolution may not be as good as the T700, but I've found it more than acceptable. A friend of mine has a camera with "Smile Shutter" and he says he never uses it, more of a hassle then it's worth. I could see if you had kids who are reluctant to smile, it might be a nice feature. -Good Luck I just purchased the T500 and I'm very happy with it.

I received my SX10 IS two days ago. In very bright light the camera is speedy at focusing and writing images. Indoors is a different story. Even with the ISO set to 800 (which does produce some usable images, a step forward for Canon), focusing is very, very slow--if the camera achieves focus at all. It does have a continuous shooting mode. I've been a dedicated Canon user for 30 years. This is my fifth PowerShot, and it is the first one I've owned that has been a challenge to get good pictures in manual mode, which I use almost exclusively. Before I send the SX 10 back I intend to give it every opportunity under a variety of conditions to show me its chops, but my gut tells me it will get returned after its workout. When zooming the lens defaults to its largest aperture, 5.7 just after you pass the 35mm equivalent of a 100mm, and image stabilization just doesn't quite meet the challenge. Additionally, all of my pictures have had a lackluster blue cast which I can correct in Photoshop, but I'd like to be able to enjoy at least a FEW pictures right out of the camera without a lot of post editing! Hope this helps.

The Canon SX10IS is much better than the Nikon P90, despite having a shorter zoom and less Megapixels. Image quality and responsiveness is what you should be looking for, and the P90 does not have either of them.I would look also at the Panasonic FZ28, specially if you prize weight - this is the choice I made, after testing Nikon, Canon, Panny and Olympus.

Check out the links below for reviews on both. you can compare the sample photos side by side. also the Sony high iso looks better. personally I think that the Sony has warmer more vibrant color although the night shot looks better on the Canon. I just ordered the Sony so we shall see. I also like the looks of the Sony better. well, good luck in your search.http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/sony/dsc_w55-review/index.shtmlhttp://www.dcresource.com/reviews/canon/powershot_sd1000-review/index.shtml

I bought a Canon PowerShot SD1000 for my dad for his birthday and he loves it. His old camera wasn't digital but it was an ELPH and he wouldn't part with it until he got his new little baby.

Ok so this is what I'm going off of. The Cannon SX10IS is the same price as the P90 but the P90 has 24x zoom and 12.1 MP... The price differential came from somewhere. I'm putting my bets on the image processor. I personally own the SX10IS and I could not be happier. My friend who owns the Cannon Rebel XSi tries to say how his buy is much more justified. So far the only things I have found better is his white balance, optional remote trigger, and the capability to shoot in RAW. Otherwise our cameras are very similar.

I saw another camera from the review that's said to have same or better quality but much cheaper price. Sony Cybershot H20. Has anyone had experience with this camera?

Both the Canon A610 and A620 have smaller screens. They also have the drawback of ISO only to 400. The Canon A540 pushes the ISO to 800 which is important for getting the photo in lower lght levels with less chance of camera "shake". The movable screen on the A620 intriqued me but them I really did not see a pressing need for it. The 620 has a longer zoom range, but again the more compact size of the A540 won the day. The A620 takes 4 AA batteries and that adds to the bulk and weight. Again, the A540 won the day because I wanted a high function, pocketable camera. I hope this helps you.

Thanks for the gory details. Its flaky metering, fumbling auto-focus and inexcusably slow (F:5.7@100mm) telephoto definitely knock the Canon SX10 off my list. What were the designers at Canon thinking? The FZ28 with its fat lens and RAW recording looks better and better.

I really don't know but know that we are so happy with the s6300 as it has twice the settings as the older Nikon we had & even the zoom works better as it does not get all blurry. It also takes outstanding videos & the sound is very good. I would always buy one from Amazon Prime as when we bought one from someone else they did not back it up as well as Amazon does & would not even pay the postage back and the camera did not even work from the moment we got it.
