Canon Powershot SX10 IS Details

Editors' Comments

More than a year after its release, Canon is still pumping out tons of SX10 units. Like it's younger brother, the equally popular SX20, the SX10 IS features a long, 20x optical zoom and a wide angle lens, meaning you'll get maximum scope and coverage, no matter how close or far your subject is. It's an exceptional camera for travel and vacations, nicely balancing between point-and-shoot comfort and advanced features. This is still an excellent camera, but we recommend the nearly identical SX20 because it includes HD video and goes for the same price.

  • Best Extended Zoom Cameras | Digital Camera HQ's Buyer's Guide

    These extended zoom cameras make excellent gifts for budding photographers interested in gaining more experience with advanced techniques. They're not as complicated or as expensive as high-end dSLRs and require no interchangeable lenses. They offer long-range zooms, wide-angle lenses, and plenty of manual control so the shooter can have a say in how their photos look. Each of these cameras provides an excellent opportunity for someone to really step up one's game.
