 CAMERA SOLD BY 17thStreet Photo is a RIP-OFF August 11, 2008
0 out of 6 found this review helpful
I BOUGHT A CANON POWERSHOT SX100IS FOR $223.00 Dlls.THROUGH AMAZON.COM, FROM 17th.Street Photo AND IT WAS A GREEN LEMON AND A RIP=OFF BECAUSE THE ZOOM WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEVER WAS ABLE TO GET A CLEAR PICTURE......ALWAYS BLURRED!!! AND UPON TRYING TO USE THE ZOOM...THE LENS RETRACTION WOULD GET STUCK AND A MESSAGE KEPT APPEARING ON THE LCD....."lens error......restart the camera"....
1.- My order was placed from Mexico to Amazon on June 27, together with another ten different items which arrived at my daughter's home in Denver by July 7....
2.- I arrived at my daughter's for a month vacation on sunday july 20th, and upon checking my items ordered, I noticed the deffective CANON CAMERA and reported it to the vendor 17TH STREET PHOTO who never answered my complaints and my desired to send it back and exchange it for another BETTER BRAND like PANASONIC LUMIX TZ5K or something equivalent and willing to pay for the difference....
3.-After almost three weeks of complaints to Amazon.com and 17th Street Photo I HAVE NOT HAD A SINGLE ANSWER TO OFFER ME AN HONEST AND ADEQUATE OPTION FOR SOLVING MY PROBLEM......
"THIS WAS A COMPLETE RIP-OFF...!!!"
4.- I now have seen the same camera at BEST BUY here in Denver for $239.00Dlls, where you can operate it and double check it befor you buy it......and they give you a U.S. Garantee for one year...
"I WILL NEVER.. EVER!!! BUY ANOTHER PIN FROM INTERNET....."
ALL THEY EVER WANT IS YOUR MONEY...THROUGH YOUR CREDIT-CARD
 Excelent choice for more than a point & shoot August 9, 2008
I bought this cemra for a friend, looking for a point and shot (he's not familiar with apertures, ISOs or any other photography stuff) easy to use but with more picture quality than a mere HP.
Since I already owned a Canon Powershot A630 which has proven a very reliable piece of equipment, I suggested hom the same or the next generation for this camera. Unfortunately the budget was not enough and I had to go through an extensive research so he could have a good camera for not more than USD250.
This is what I looked for:
8+ Megapixels
10X optical zoom
Aperture and shutter priority
Buit-in flash.
Video recording
Ease of use (this should come first as primary requirement)
Light weight
low battery consuption (I didn't want him compplainig for battery life)
At least 1/2.5 sensor size. I've proven that picture quality loos can be easily noticed with smaller sensors.
This camera meets or exceeds most of my requirements for a not-so-low budget equipment. It's fast, reliable and the picture quality is very good for a non professional user.
I strongly reccomend the Canon PowerShot SX100IS is you don't have USD350 for your home use camera.

Great August 9, 2008
This camera is awesome. I bought and I fel in love for it. You can take good pictures with a very good zoom and record small movies as well with the same quality. The most interesant thing is the option of take until 10 pictures in a roll using the one timer adjustable to until 30 sec.
 very nice photos August 8, 2008
takes great photos outside and with flash. battery life could be better. can't take mutliple photos quickly with the flash or when the battery is low. you will miss some shots of kids and pets but you will get some good ones too. manual controls allow for some creativity if you like to experiment, but the programs work well and give good and great photos. sometimes i wish it had 12x optical zoom.
good pictures, horrible battery life August 2, 2008

I have owned the Canon SX100IS camera for two months. I put it to good test on our Alaska cruise and took about 1000 pictures. I would like to give this camera 3.5 stars if I could.
The 10X optical zoom is wonderful. It works great and is really handy.
The picture quality is very good, under different conditions. Sunny, cloudy, rainy, indoor, sunset, sunrise, on moving ship, shoot moving objects, scenary, portrait. The pictures mostly came out clear, sharp with good colors and reflected the actual view accurately on "auto' mode. On one occasion, however, the colors of a lake came out NOT as vivid as the lake actual was, with "auto" mode.
My biggest disappointment with the camera is battery life. I used 15 sets (30 individual) AA batteries to shoot about 1000 pictures. I literally used and had to carry a bag of batteries.
I got the "lens error" once, on a whale watching excursion. For a good 20 minutes, the len could not retract. No matter what I did, the camera just displayed "lens error" and was dead. I missed some really good shooting opportunities because of this. After 20 minutes, the camera magically worked again.
