Camera Professional Lens 10X Option Zoom F 4.3Mm Driver

The Canon SX100IS's 10x optical zoom lens covers a broad range equivalent to 36-360mm on a 35mm camera - a moderate wide angle to a useful telephoto. To help combat this, Canon offers what it calls a 'Quick Bright' function, which switches the LCD to its brightest setting (or back again) by holding in the display button for one second. The display is bright and colorful, but does tend to wash out a little in direct sunlight. Images are framed and reviewed on a 2.5-inch color LCD display with 172,000 pixels - not particularly high resolution, but not unreasonable given the price. The Canon PowerShot SX100 IS stores images on Secure Digital or MultiMediaCard media, including the newer (and higher capacity) SDHC types. Fairly approachable for beginners with a range of automatic controls and scene-mode options, the Canon SX100IS also offers a wide range of functions including a fully manual mode that will please more experienced users.

The lens is coupled to an 8.0-megapixel CCD image sensor, and although that's not as high resolution as some of the latest digital cameras on the market, it's plenty for most uses and should yield less noise than a higher-res sensor of equivalent size would.

It's not going to fit in your pocket, but if you can live with that limitation, the Canon PowerShot SX100 IS gives you a lot of camera - and a very useful 10x optical zoom lens - in a body that's still reasonably compact.
