Camera Review: Canon PowerShot SX10 IS

Camera reviews on the web were useless when I was trying to upgrade to a D-SLR a year ago.  Ultimately, I found my fit from trial and error...not from some website telling me it's 5 stars!   Also, if you are used to a certain brand with your point and shoot camera, you might like to stick to that brand when you buy a D-SLR camera.  

In this segment of my blog, I want to show REAL reviews from REAL people...over the next few months test driving them all!  These people aren't paid to say their camera is the best...they know it is because it fits them just right.  

I want to review the Canon Power Shot SX10IS first.  It's a higher end point & shoot camera.  It's not my favorite, but my sister (Candy) and my mom (Mary) love it.  I'm a Sony girl myself but have to give every brand a fair shot ;)

"I have had various kinds of digital cameras.  My best so far is the Canon Power Shot SX10IS, which I bought second hand.  Good vibrant color and great zoom 20 X  optical zoom  10.0 MEGA pixels.  First camera that I have actually taken a picture of the moon and have it come out ok.  I know it is time for a new camera.  Lets see what the reviews are!" ~Mary

These are some of Mary's favorite photos that she's taken with her camera:

 

Moon 003  2012-10-20-  f5/7   1/15 sec  ISO 200

Look at that detail in the moon!  Love it!

 

 Tony 038   2013-2-23 - f/4.5  1/200  ISO-160

So beautiful!

 Watch 001  2013-2-23 - f/5.6  1/4 sec.   ISO 100

This shot was for a photography class: using manual settings

Dragonfly 112  2012-07-1  f/5.7  1/400 sec  ISO 200

Such detail!  The background is blurred out too. I can't wait for summer!

Thanks to Mary Loring for sharing her photos and review with me.
