Though the Canon PowerShot SX100 produces excellent photos, other aspects of the camera make one think twice about buying on. DCRP have a new review up of the SX100 IS here.

“While it doesn’t really stand out in any one area, the Canon PowerShot SX100 IS is a solid, low-priced ultra zoom camera. The SX100 features a 10X zoom lens, optical image stabilization, full manual controls, and a VGA movie mode. Downsides include a weak, slow-charging flash, no multi-point autofocus, and the inability to swap memory cards while the camera is on a tripod. Despite a few flaws, the SX100 is still an impressive camera for the money (around $250), and it’s one I can recommend.
…
With the PowerShot SX100 IS, Canon has produced another solid ultra zoom camera. It’s not as impressive as its big brother, the PowerShot S5, but the SX100 costs quite a bit less. As semi-compact, entry-level ultra zooms go, the SX100 is a good one, and definitely worth a look.”
