• 10 MP
• Serious 20x Zoom
• Swivel Screen and Hot Shoe
• Manual Control

This camera is NOT going to be slipping into any pockets anytime soon and it is nearing the limit of what I consider a mid-priced digital camera but you get an amazing zoom (20x), a swivel screen and a hot shoe (a place to stick external flashes like the Canon Speedlite 270EX Flash. These features are on top of plenty of very positive reviews on Amazon and Dpreview.com. This is a camera to get if you want the zoom and the control possible on a DSLR without the having to buy and change lenses. Note: there is also a very similarly named camera, the Canon PowerShot SX1IS For $200 more you get full HD recording, ability to shoot in the RAW format, ability to shoot faster 4fps versus 1.4fps and a tiny bit larger LCD screen. Unless you really want the HD save your money and buy for the SX10

Canon PowerShot SX1IS - HD Movies, Raw File, faster framerate ~$200 more.

Sony Cybershot DSC-HX1 - HD Movies, manual noise control ~$100 more. Image quality scored a 7.5/10 on Dpreview.com

If you need the a super zoom, oodles of manual controls and the ability to add an external Flash this is your camera. Actually if you need two of the three features listed this is still your camera.

Buy the Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP
