Cool Jose!, any camera can do wonderful shots, its just how you use the camera, but to do higher grade shots that's where you use a more advanced camera like an SLR, but hay! point and shoot pocket cameras now days can do that stuff! :) "Remember the best Technique, is how you use what camera you have to its full advantages" lol
so King Gilly, do you recommend this camera against Panasonic FZ35/38? I was planning to get the FZ35 but the 1080p of SX1 IS and it's ability to take still shots while taking video made me think. Can you help me decide?
Hi, the Panasonic FZ35/38 looks like they copied it from my Canon SX1 IS, i think over all id go for the SX1 IS, if the Panasonic FZ35/38 is a good deal cheaper then opt for that, it has got some stuff the SX1 dont have and a bit vise versa, as i think the SX1 is better quality built, i know there is a canon camera hack for some cameras like SX1 IS
Part 2 but i need the hack for my modle, it allows you to open the guts and change the setting like exposure times/ recording times and heaps aothers even a battery display "dum canon dident put one in mine" so if your going cheep, get the Panasonic FZ35/38, if you whant better quality get SX1 IS :mind you there are other better ones out there but its how much you wanna spend,,,.....
@KingGillyMan: The SX1 IS has an issue of being poor low light condition. Can you prove them wrong? Can send me an unedited still image in good and bad light condition? send it to timo_bongATyahooDOTcom?
Yes it has the noise problem not to bad, like alot of cameras of course you can compensate by useing a noise cleanner program, i use Topaz Adjust its great!, but if the Panasonic dont have the noise problem then sure, go for that one :) oh also you have to know how to use what camera you have, for me, i just use it how ever,, cheers :)
@criticaltinker According to lots of reviews the SX1 IS had lots of noise,I have never found this a major problem.The noise when present is well controlled and film like in appearence,not like some cameras where you get horrid chroma noise(green red yell speckling etc).This camera is 100% best in its class,and the HD video and features is incredible.I was going to get a Nikon D300 and their 18-200 vr lens,total cost of this combo was £1900.00!! Im now delighted with my choice
@BogusBoy2121 The reason I didnt go with the SLR is weight 1st,a day out carrying this around,with the responsibilty of dropping it,getting it stolen etc,and the canon has nearly double the zoom length!!I am delighted with my choice and when canon do an SX2 IS I will be first in the shop!
Yep you right! i dident make any frames ,, umm probly because i dident whant too maybe,,,, :) and playing with the light,, thats another project, this is just basic , i wasent going for a Gold medel :)
Oh Boy I am so excited!I nearly didnt bother with this camera,due to all the bad reviews on the internet about image quality!Your pictures are brilliant!I thought this camera was useless at low light????These look brilliant!Thanks for posting and keep up the good work!
True, I have the SX1, but the cmos sensor doesn't seem to be less noisy than the CCD of the SX10. Definately get the SX10 if you don't care about 1080p movies. Other than that, it's a fairly cheap HD videocamera and it has 20x zoom compared to the 10x you get on canon HD videocameras.
yes it dose have the noise problem and agree with YAMRAN, and to me the unit is to small for my hands, but apart from that, its well worth getting it for the image stabilization, 20x zoom and the HD video, but the HD video cant play properly on PC, unless you have the right codex, also you can video in 640x480 as you can get more footage in of course and play it straight on the PC, if u get camera and have troble with HD playin on PC, give me a holla and ill send u a link etc,,
i do a lot with video and video editing so i think i got all the codecs..im not expecting wonders but at the mo i have a 14 Mp kodak point and shoot style compact so this will be a nice step up i think.
amazing! TFS

You have a such amazing camera, but your photos are not so good. You didn't make any framing. Also you didn't use any effect and play with the light

The bad reviews are from the easyshare generation idiots who dont know how to turn the photo dial off of AUTO.
If you try to do everything in auto, you will get crappy results, especially in low light.
Really any low light shooting where you want artistic quality results you need a tripod, low ISO, and long shutter speed.

Hey,
I have to decide me between the Sony Hx1 (370 €) and the Canon Powershot Sx1 IS (400 €)
Which one is better ?
I already have an external Thunder (Sigma) for my Canon 400d. Can I you this one for the Sx1 Is too ?
How does the Pic. Quality look from the Sx1 IS ? Are there many Pixel (Noises or how you call it :) ) in the night ?
Is the Quality Bad in teh Dark?
Can you create a Video with all the Functions of teh Sx1 Is(Control,Menue,Hd Video,4fps and all the other functions?)
Thanks

Picture quality is no better than the SX10IS
The main difference is that the SX1 IS can record FULL HD video
