The SX10 IS uses the CCD technology that is much more common in this size of camera. The two cameras are virtually indistinguishable from the outside, but there's an important difference inside: the SX1 is based around a CMOS sensor to enable HD video and faster shooting (which also makes the SX-1 considerably more expensive). The old 'S' range has now been incorporated into the 'SX' range, previously home to Canon's more compact long zoom models (such as the recent SX110 IS).Ĭanon also offer a near-twin of the SX10 IS, called the SX1 IS.
The new model builds on its successor (the S5 IS) with a slight physical redesign and a fairly extensive beefing up of features that adds more megapixels, a much bigger zoom range, increased screen and viewfinder resolutions and a wealth of minor spec updates. The SX10 IS is the latest in a long line of popular big zoom cameras that goes right back to the PowerShot S1 IS back in 2004.
