It features a 4-megapixel resolution, movie mode with audio for up to 3 minutes of video, 5-point AiAF, and a fixed focus lens with 5.7x digital zoom. This model comes in stylish silver, but the SD10 also comes in white, bronze, and black.

Canon's DIGIC (DIGital Imaging Core) processor ensures excellent color rendition and white balance for every shot, as well as super-fast auto focusing, noise-free imaging, and advanced flash exposure performance. Even before the shutter release is pressed, the built-in iSAPS (intelligent scene analysis based on photographic space) technology is analyzing the scene and making camera adjustments to deliver fast focusing and perfect exposures.

Rating: - Canon SD10 Thumbs Up
I love this camera
I love the macro, the clarity
someone into photography told me it has especially clear pictures BECAUSE it has no optical zoom and I have been very pleased. The only thing is I would like optical zoom, so I am thinking about getting another camera, but DEFINITELY sticking within the canon line.
It is super sturdy, I'm ashamed to say it's hit the floor a few times. Dont get generic batteries, it's worth the investment to get the brand name, they'll last a long time and generic just isn't worth the medium amount of money you will pay.
The size is great which is why I can take it everywhere with me. I love that I can take continuous shots which comes in handy with my godson and his brother and my rabbit.
I highly reccomend this as a point and shoot camera. I happen to know a bit about photography and love it....and the camera is great for me....sometimes I woudl like to be able to set some manual settings but then again the pros SIGNIFICANTLY outweigh the cons...the quality is good. Using the self timer I have done my own headshots, and theater professionals thought they were professionally done. Let me just tell you I saved thousands with that instance, and I can just keep updating them and whatnot. It's great to have a tripod with it sometimes and just try things out. This is my first digital camera and it's also a great one to start with, why get all the fancy shmancy if you are new to digital cameras? As a theater major who does makeup, it is invaluable for taking photos of the actors' makeup to keep it the same from day to day and even for other things with "documentation" like if I see a dress I like and I want to go get that fabric, I Just take a pic since I always have it with me, that is one of the main handy features and I have so many pics that I only have because it waas easy to carry around and who wants to lug a huge thing around all day all the time? I have even used it in craft stores to remember what I wanted to use on a project and so I would remember where it was, what it looked like and sizes and whatnot..it is So handy for things you wouldnt always think of and expect.
I really really do reccomend this and all the other elph cameras....zoom or no zoom but if you DO want zoom go for optical because digital zoom wont really get you anywhere....

enjoy :)

Rating: - Perfectly-sized, idiot proof, produces GREAT images!
As one who travels extensively, space and weight limitations prompt me to pack lightly, but I refuse to sacrifice quality. This little gem easily fits into jacket or trouser pockets, whips out quickly and performs extremely well. I use the usb cable to dock into my Mac PowerBook where I use iPhoto to seamlessly import, classify and burn my pics. My wife lost me first SD10, and I'm buying a second one ASAP!

Rating: - becoming warm
the size is compact n i fall in love with it the moment i saw it. but the problem with this camera is , it becomes warm easily.the battery life too is quite short though many claimed to have good battery life. it just last for about 2 hrs or so.dont know if you would consider that long lasting.

the size is too small that u mite lose it if you dont be careful about it.
