Canon 10x Digital Camera

I'm no photographer so maybe I hit a button or something,day before pics were fine,I changed batteries but no difference.Any ideas? I bought the camera used so I have no manual(big mistake)Any help would sure make me a happy camper,since I'm going camping the week of 7/16.Help PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If your camera allows you to set white balance, it might have been moved to something other that "auto" inadvertantly. Check for this by pushing the FUNC button and then scroll up and down the list of icons and see if you see "AWB" in the list. The other white balance icons show a sun, a light bulb, some clouds, a fluorescent tube and a few more, so if you don't see "AWB," look for one of them in the left column. Stop there and then toggle to "AWB" in the menu and hit FUNC once you've selected "AWB."

Otherwise, yeah, your camera is about 5 years old and that's a long life for a digital camera. <sigh> It's hard to accept, but it's true.

Since you are already very accustomed to the A70, maybe you should look at the A630 or A640 which are descended from your camera. They look similar and operate similarly.

Here's my stock answer on those cameras:

I own a few Nikon DSLR's and I'd buy the Canon Powershot A630 or A640 for myself. These cameras have the larger sensor (1/1.8" or 5.2 mm x 7.2 mm) that is nearly double the sensor size you find in many point and shoot cameras and this translates into better image quality. They allow fully automatic use or total user control and offer several stages in between. The only significant difference between these cameras is that the A630 is 8 MP and the A640 is 10 MP.

If you're going to spend up to $200, look at a Canon Powershot A630. My brother has had his A630 for over a year and it's a very nice camera. You can get it at B&H Photo (available through Yahoo! Shopping) for $184.

If you can go to $300, look at the 10 MP Canon Powershot A640. This is an excellent camera. It sells for $260 and you can add a very nice memory card for under $40. The images from the A640 compare VERY favorably with the images from a Canon G7, which costs about twice as much.

For either camera, buy a 1 or 2 GB Sandisk Ultra II or Extreme III card. You will NEED the increased capacity and write speed to fully realize the benefits of your camera. The Ultra II would be excellent, but if you are really into video, you might prefer the faster Extreme III. These cards cost from about $25-45 at B&H and several other outlets.

It&#39;s okay for the price. I would have loved to see it handle better in lower lighting situations. Pretty good in regular light though.

Please , I don't need the special credit card prices cause I don't have one.I need the actual retail price... Thanking you

Canon's MSRP for the SX100IS is $300USD, so the equivalent would be about 11800R

Is that ENOUGH camera for me? I would like to do close ups.


It's a Canon PowerShot SX100 IS Digital Camera.
How good is that camera?

The optical zoom works well for when you want to enlarge a picture. The digital zoom doesn't seem to enlarge as well. It pixulates the picture and it becomes blury. A 10x optical is pretty good. Mine is only 3 and does a nice job for my use.

I have an canon camera now (a elph), it's a few years old and I would like to upgrade. I'm not an expert photographer but I would like to start taking some nice pictures of wildlife. For this I am looking for a camera with somewhere around 10x optical zoom.

Canon has one, but I have read you have to wait around 10 seconds between taking pictures when you use the flash. I don't like that. Plus it is a little bigger than your typical small digital camera.

I saw panasonic has a camera with 10x optical zoom and it is smaller. It received some really good reviews on the circuit city website. I have never heard much about a panasonic camera, are they good? Do they take good pictures? I have always had a canon and been in love with it, but they just dont seem to have a good canon camera for what I'm looking for (10x optical zoom).

Can anyone give me their opinions on these types of cameras or possibly other brands of cameras that have good optical zoom capabilities?

Thanks! :)
I still want a smaller "point and shoot" camera. That is why I am not looking at SLR cameras. I want the best of both worlds. :)

Canon is the better camera as far as i know. It is one of the best in general.

Go with the camera that is calling to you if theyre said to be the same.
