Summary: Great Value
Comment: This camera is not only cheap and easily operatable but also great. The only reason i give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the camera manual makes slight mention about RAW images even though on my camera i have had it come up saying RAW a couple of times on the screen for some of my images. Even though most people say it doesn't have the capabilities for it, Trust me i have had it say it a couple of times but i cannot remember how i got it to do it lol. This camera is great for getting quality photos and all the images are crisp and clean except for occasional noise within the photo, which only shows up by the way if you use the camera with a low battery. This camera however eats regular Alkaline batteries like mad so i would suggest buying a set of rechargable batteries unless you want to spend a fourtune. Even though it has no Veiw finder to look through the display works like a charm just as well. Even though it might be slightly expensive for people on a budget it is a really GREAT camera and it is worth buying. I have had no run ins with bugs or problems with it. The image stabilizer also makes sure that the occurrence of blurs and shake effects are minimal at best. So if you want a good camera BUY THIS ONE!!!!!!

Summary: Price makes a difference
Comment: While I love shopping with Amazon, I also love a "best price" deal. I did a Google search and have found this camera available for $207-$208, new, shipping included, elsewhere. Being loyal to Amazon, I'll wait a week to see if Amazon's price drops - if not, I'll pay the better price elsewhere.

Summary: Amazing camera for the price
Comment: I went to a brick-and-mortar store to see how this camera handled and have to say I was unimpressed. I couldn't hold it very securely because the power source/security device made it difficult to manage the menus and buttons. Since I teach computers at the middle school level, I really wanted to get a camera with manual controls because, with a point-and-shoot, you're really only teaching composition. The other option is a $600 entry-level DSLR. So I got the SX100.
I am so glad I did. I was able to take great shots right out of the box. There was no awkwardness with the manual controls, the pictures came out great, and indoor shots were just as fantastic as outdoor shots. As someone else mentioned, pictures indoors with flash really aren't as good as pictures without flash. The auto settings sort themselves out and produce really sweet images.
Someone also mentioned trying to shake the camera to make a blurry picture. I took this one step further. I drove down the highway at 55 mph and took shots perpendicular to the line of travel. They turned out crystal clear.
One of the features I like is the button that lets you view previously taken pictures without turning on your camera. It is nice not to have the lens come out on startup. Sure, you could turn the dial to the Play icon before you power up, but that's an extra step. I really like the simplicity of the one-touch image viewing. Also, to switch to camera mode, just press the shutter and you are ready to take pictures.

Summary: This camera OWNS
Comment: This is my first Digital Camera, and I am very happy with it. Ive had it for about 2 months now. It takes extremely sharp detailed pictures, which can easily be cropped and blown up and still retain their quality. The zoom is great, 10x optical and 40x if you add the digital zoom, although i normally wont go past the optical unless there's good lighting. It takes great pictures both indoors and out, but when indoors you will have to use the flash very often, unless the room is well lit.The video quality is not the greatest, but a very nice feature to have. You can zoom optically before you hit record, but can only zoom digitally while recording. The battery life with AA Alkaline batteries is very poor but with NiMH Recharbales it's great. I only get about a half hour of on time and 30 pictures off of one set of Alkaline batteries. Take everyones advice and get 2 sets of NiMH Rechargeable batteries off the bat they work wonders. I get over 200 pictures and several hours of on time from one charge. I bought Sony Quick Battery Charger with 4 AA Ni-MH Rechargeable Batteries as a pack and works great. The camera is very self explanatory and easy to use out of the box, and with a little reading the advanced options are easy enough to get the hang of. Some people were saying that when you change memory cards the batteries fall out, but that hasn't been an issue, if u get a large 2G or 4G sd card you wont have to change them very often, and just be careful. The one and only thing i don't like about this camera is the long delay between shots when using the flash. When using the flash it takes 5-8 seconds to recharge before you can take another shot. I don't know how long this recharge period would be on other digital cameras. However its not a very big deal and all of the other great things about this camera make up for it ten fold. A great camera well worth the money.
