Canon Powershot S10 IS is a high end digital camera with powerful zoom lens and a retro design. It is the successor to the popular Powershot S5 IS but has integrated a number of new features other than keeping its predecessor's outer design.
Design and Looks
The Powershot S10 IS looks like one of those cameras your father owned in his youth and has a nice old world charm to it. The large zoom lenses on the front and an elegant black body have a distinct appeal. However, it may not be a very convenient camera to carry around and for people used to the more swanky, slim cameras of today, it may not appeal too much.
Key Features
A whopping 20x optical zoom with a wider angle is the first thing you will notice about the camera. It gives you a fine resolution and a large, flip out screen too. A number of multifarious shooting modes, metering and a macro mode for people with an eye for detail give you great tools to explore your creativity.
Other Features
Other than these cool off beat features, the camera also offers a range of regular features expected from a camera of its caliber like Red Eye reduction, timer, flash, PictBridge, Direct Print facility, and connectivity through a USB cable. The camera has a decent built in memory and for surplus storage it uses an SD card.
Verdict
It is an awesome looking, awesome functioning no doubt, but it also comes for a matching price. Though it does use some path breaking technology and gives outstanding results, it is a heavy camera to move around with.
