Truly, there are more features to cover but again these are just some of the key features that i found to be important and is really a powerful zoom digital camera with very good image quality.

• Simple to use. Reasonable price. Unless you're a professional photographer, it's hard to distinguish pictures taken with the SX10 IS and the more expensive dSLRs.
• The camera is a little heavy, but the 20X Zoom is worth the extra weight compare to my brother's S5 IS (weight that is)
• many have reported that Instruction manual is poorly illustrated and written
• SDHC slot separate from battery compartment is very nice and very convenient
• It would be nice, IF we can have date/time stamp options for my photos taken like; I am used to in the little PowerShots !
• 4 of 5 have agreed that Pictures are Great! True vivid colors. Easy to use menu
• Solid construction, it does Feels like a much more expensive camera
• it's much, much lighter than holding a Celestron IS70 digi spotting scope for sure of it !!!
• Surely; this is a Digital Camera, I would recommend to anybody who is looking for a Semi-Pro digital camera for all season
