I bought the SX1 about 6 weeks ago and actually I'm
very pleased about the easy of use and the features.
I'll be short; the build quality is generally very good
considering it has a plastic body, altough rear buttons
on the camera feel a little bit clanky and loose, don't
like the not-clicking wheel and wheel sensitivity too.
The camera has a lot of features, Hi-def videos, in the
right conditions (sunlight), are stunning and with great
stereo audio too; the zoom is impressive, quiet too;
the autofocus is pretty fast with light, a little bit slow
in the interiors. The manual controls of the parameters
are fine and the RAW+Jpeg shooting can give you
some added flexibility. Image quality is not the best,
actually I expected more from the little Canon CMOS,
images are pretty noisy, but at the end, the SX1 is not
a DLSR right?
It lacks a timelapse feature (max 10 programmed
shots), so, CANON implement it!
So:
- Fully featured camera means great flexibility for
creative minds
- stuunning Macro mode, video mode, optical lenses
- A little bit pricey
- Not the best image quality
Problems:
- The remote control doesn't seem to work
- Little glitch on the menu that causes to repeatly
scroll the tabs sometimes (seems to be solved with
the 2.0.0 firmware upgrade)
