Disappointed by my Canon
I bought this product to take on a trip to Europe and I used the automatic feature almost exclusively. I was not pleased with the
quality of a large number of my photos. It was a big let down. I
had bought it to increase the number of megapixels over my old
camera and thought the quality would be even better than my old
camera. It was not even as good. Truman Kimbrough

Fun to use!
I really enjoy my new camera. It's my first digital camera. There are a lot of options on it I am not utilizing but it's great for just taking pictures and that's why I bought it! I like the 10x optical zoom and the clear pictures.

Great camera
I've owned this camera for about a month now. It replaced a 4 year old Canon Powershot A85 that started to get some colored pixel defect on the pictures (dust in the lens?). Anyways, I purchased this camera through Amazon, which shipped it quickly and safely. I've been on several hiking excursions with this camera and it has been wonderful. I love the 10x optical zoom (along with the digital zoom you can go up to 40x zoom!). But, at this high of zoom, it is sometimes difficult to find your subject in the LCD display (could benefit from a viewfinder). Controls are similar to what I was used to with the old Canon. I am getting excellent battery life out of a set of Duracel 2650mah NI-MH rechargeable batteries.
I've been able to get excellent indoor and outdoor photos, and even experimented on some night time photos (have to play with the manual settings to get some decent night photos), and even took a picture of the full moon at 40x zoom -- it looks like your looking through a telescope! The only problem I've had with blurred photos was when taking photos at high zoom in poor light. Other than that, the photos have been perfect.
At the time of me writing this, the SX100 has become difficult to find, but Canon just announced the SX110, which should be a worthy upgrade if you cannot find the SX100.

beware lens error
After taking less than 100 fotos, I recieved the dreaded "lens error - restart camera" message. The camera refuses to turn on. According other internet sources, this has been a common problem with a number of canon models. Beware.

Great camera for a great value
We bought this camera because it was rated best buy from consumer reports. And that it is! It is awesome and very easy to use. Although it uses AA batteries, the life is very long - we did not expect that, but we can shoot about 500 8mb pictures w/ one set of batteries. The flash is a little cumbersome - because you have to manually lift it, however we have found that many times the pictures come out better w/o the flash anyway. I would highly recommend this camera to anyone.
