'This camera is basically a very solid point-and-shooter, producing great shots in good light but noisy ones in low-light '
'The SX1 IS is a great camera for those who don't want the bulk of an SLR but desire the flexibility of different shooting modes and customisable options, with a long lens.'
'We actually dropped the Canon PowerShot SX1 IS right after unboxing it and the camera emerged unscathed by the hardwood floor. '
'The SX1 IS produced generally good results and is a pleasant camera to use.'
'As an added convenience, Canon PowerShot digital cameras also accommodate MultiMedia MMC memory cards, as well as standard SD memory cards and the new, high-capacity SDHC memory cards.'
'Chromatic aberration is high at wide angle, showing bright coloration on either side of the target lines.'
'Noise significantly jumps at ISO 1600, rendering shots nearly unusable.'
'the resolution of the screen hasn't improved since the A710 -- there are just 115,000 pixels here.'
'Samsung's proprietary ASR image stabilization system helps to reduce camera shake and image blur during longer exposures and in situations where holding the camera steady is impossible.'
'In good light, the Samsung L73 performed as expected for a 7Mp compact,'
'The lack of an optical viewfinder, while not unusual, is a shame'
'the L1's analogue controls are quick to learn and use, the Live View genuinely useful, the anti-dust system unrivalled, and the Leica zoom the best kit lens around.'
'the overall flash system is very slow, increasing shutter lag dramatically.'
'the camera should do fine with typical city night scenes.'
'It is however close to the result from the Canon 400D / XTi, which proves how its modest kit lens can really hold back its potential.'
