Strengths: great pictures, amazing video, awesome zoom, the screen

Weakness: battery life, auto focusing, feels small

love the camera, i've had it for about 2 months and i plan on bringing it on spring break, only hope the batteries don't run out. you can get 2-3 hours of use out of 1 set of rechargeable, so it's always good to keep a spare. the manual is a must or else you will get completely lost. HD video great and also great iso range with decent noise even at iso 1600

SX1 is good for semi-pro and standard use

Strengths: HD Video - RAW stills in a compact form, ease of use, great lens, pretty good IS.

Weakness: Does not make pro type images at ISO 200 or greater.

I have shot tens of 1000s of stills and video over 40 years, in all formats of film and video as well as digital for the past 8 years, I spent 30 years in broadcast TV. Getting my mind wrapped around shooting with this type of camera form has been the biggest hurdle for me. I had to put my SLR and video cameras away for the past 8 months so that I could get my head and body retrained to use this...

Canon PowerShot SX1 IS

THE GOOD: Relatively fast; good HD video; raw file support. THE BAD: Big; quirky interface; some image artifacts. THE BOTTOM LINE: A top megazoom option, the Canon PowerShot SX1 IS offers a 20x zoom lens and HD video, which you cant get in a similarly priced dSLR, and delivers more features and slightly better performance and photo quality than the cheaper SX10 IS.

Canon PowerShot SX1 IS Review

Tuned for both stills and video, the Canon PowerShot SX1 continues a long line of Canon long-zoom digital cameras, but with a new twist: it uses a 10-megapxiel CMOS sensor instead of a CCD. Though this doesn't seem to improve the Canon SX1's image quality, it does enable both "Full HD" 1080p video capture and a still-image framerate of up to 4 frames per second. Its 20x zoom lens has a very...

DCRP Review: Nikon Coolpix S630

The Canon PowerShot SX1 isn't just a super zoom digital camera -- it's also a video camera capable of recording Full HD video. In the past, hybrid cameras have been just so-so, but the PowerShot SX1 takes good quality stills and very nice HD movies. Add in a rotating LCD, manual controls, snappy performance, and lots of point-and-shoot features, and you end up with a hybrid camera that's done the...

Camera Labs – Canon PowerShot SX1 IS review

Canon's PowerShot SX1 IS is arguably one of the most technologically successful hybrid cameras to date, offering both 10 Megapixel stills and Full HD 1080p video recording in a compact body with a 20x zoom, fully articulated screen, fast continuous shooting, flash hotshoe and HDMI port. <p>There's really very little this camera doesn't offer apart from RAW recording. If you're in the market for a...
