Will I be able to turn the camera portrait as well as landscape? And do you have any idea if it will be suitable for a Canon SX100 IS?

Yes, the platform does rotate and it certainly is sturdy enough for your Canon. You cannot beat this deal, even adding in shipping!

Yes Gina, it will work with your Cannon SX100. I have that same exact camera. I love this tripod. I use it for video recordings with a camcorder. But before the camcorder, it was used with the cannon. Happy filming.

It appears so. The admin interface of the camera has the option to invert the image (they use the term flip). I tested the flip ability and it does invert properly. I cannot speak for long use of this application but the feature is there and it looks like it would work as one would expect.

I'm not sure about it, but I've been using it on my Nikon D7000 and I love it, which is also a cropped sensor camera, especially doing portraits, plus it's good for landscapes too, being that it's a bit wide angle, I've not really used it for landscapes. I love the low apertures, got some really good depth of field shots with it. Hope this helps you

I use it for my Canons, SX260 and 280: Wouldn't use it for my FZ200... And I never use it in "tripod" mode as I found that less useful than another mini trip I have, but the strap makes this thing excellent for a lot of situations where nothing else would do! But I wouldn't put anything other than a pocket camera on it.

ACK-E2 will NOT fit the Canon S100. Search "ACK-DC30 AC Power Adapter" that will get you in the right direction.

I use it with the Sony RX100 and it fits perfectly. If the specs are similar, it should work well. The RX100 doesn't have room to spare, though--it's a comfortable but snug fit. Hope this helps!

I used it on an SX20. make sure you get the right mm size. This is a Canon piece just like the one that came on my camera. I had lost mine.

As it was said any times in the customer's reviews (including mine), the adaptor does not fit perfectly and you have to do a few tries before getting used to it. The main point is to put the lens aperture control finger on the good side of the adaptor aperture control pin to allow the aperture control dial to rotate. If it does not rotate, you are on the wrong side.Hope this will help.Richard.

Yes only when positioned for landscape portraits. If you turn the camera vertical the tripod does not have a wide enough base to support the camera at a vertical angle

I use this pan/tilt head for a Canon HG10. That is okay. I put my Nikon with a Sigma 75-300 telezoomlens on it, but that was too heavy in tilting the heavy lens. The body with a standard 35-70 mm Nikkor lens was okay. The head is not always smooth in panning or tilting for video. It is a valuable tool for setting to the correct pan or tilt position and then shooting from the fixed position.

It wouldn't be my first choice for a portrait lens due to the nature of the wide angle (17-25mm Range). In many cameras you will get a slight bending of the image especially in the corners. A fixed (prime) lens between 50-100mm would be a better choice. A very good lens would be Canon's 85mm f-1.8.Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Medium Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras - Fixed

I only tried it for the model I currently have, which is Canon Powershot SX240 as I recall. Thanks.

Yes, everything with the mount works great. It's easy to change from portrait to landscape and also easy to change angles and tilt. I find that you can adjust it without loosening the ball. But, it might have to be tightened occasionally. I really like this mount overall and would definitely recommend to anyone.

No it can not rotate to portrait orientation. It can just swing back and forth.

I'm happy with my SX100, not familiar with the G9. SX100 doesn't have a rangefinder so that could be an issue for you. Uses SD cards and 2 AA's

Yes, I have, it is working excellently! I'm really happy with this thing! I think any combination of landscape/portrait would work.

I had the S8200 with 40x optical zoom and same sensor as the SL1000. I own a Canon SX40 and SX50 and both of the Canon's render higher quality images and will lock focus faster and hold it(especially at the long end) than the Fuji. I do like the Fuji colors though. If not going above 8x10 in prints, the Fuji is attractive. That said, the SX50 is a very refined camera that does everything very well. I suggest you visit BestBuy or anywhere that you can compare the two. Take a SD card with you and ask them to let you shoot some images in store or better yet, outside. Take your SD card home and see what you like/dislike. I had the S8200 with 40x optical zoom and same sensor as the SL1000.
