Canon SX100 IS Reviewed
This mid-ranged digicam has a lot of features for the casual shooter…
The Canon SX100 IS is just the latest of point and shoots with SLR features. Techtree.com gave the camera a three star out of five star rating, enjoying it’s 10x zoom lens, different shooting modes, wonderful picture quality, face detection feature, macro mode, and an excellent battery life.
While it’s big (let’s just say it’s not going to fit in your front pocket) in size compared to some other digital cameras out there, the SX100 IS has a lot to offer and isn’t just your normal point and shoot. According to Techtree.com:
“The most attractive feature of the Canon SX100IS is undoubtedly its 36 - 360 mm (equivalent) 10x optical zoom lens. It is quick and responds to light flicks of the zoom rocker quite well, and it’s pretty accurate as well. The pictures we shot had good sharpness, contrast, exposure, and skin tone. The macro performance is excellent. The camera, however, suffers from a bad case of chromatic aberration.
Focusing is fast and accurate; we got very few out-of-focus images. It’s not often that the SX100 IS will refuse to get a focus lock. Manual focusing is great, too, and with the assistance of the Face Detection AF system, the camera locates up to nine faces (as we saw in our tests) in an image, automatically prioritizes the dominant subject, and sets the focus and exposure of the image. (In case the camera cannot detect a face in the scene, it focuses at the center by default.)”
Can’t argue with that.
