Canon PowerShot SX10 IS Sample Photo Gallery
The PowerShot SX10 got a big bump in its battery life compared to its predecessor (33% to be exact), which gives it the best numbers in the super zoom class. And, since it uses AAs, you’ll spend less on batteries on the SX10 than you would for the cameras above that use proprietary lithium-ion batteries. You can also use off-the-shelf alkaline batteries in an emergency — something you can’t do with those other cameras.
Canon includes a lens cap with the PowerShot SX10, but they seem to have forgotten to include a retaining strap! While the cap stays on securely, you can’t just let it “dangle” when you take it off. You can clip it to the neck strap, or just stuff it in your pocket.
