Trigger pulled.

I just ordered an SX10. I should get a chance to play with it this weekend.

I ended up making a choice between it and the Panasonic FZ28. The tiny P&S cameras are nearly as expensive and they aren't as flexible, so I decided to go with a superzoom. The Panasonic is about $30 cheaper, smaller and lighter, but it looks like a toy in Gordon's video at CameraLabs. It seems to be too small to hold with more than 2 fingers! The images also look worse to my eyes at high magnification (more isolated noise). I also really like the fact that the SX10 uses AA batteries, and that I'll be able to use my Canon SpeedLite if the need arises.

Cheers,
Scott.

Some pictures.

Not with the camera, but of the camera. ;-) I haven't had a chance to play with it much yet.

It's a tiny little thing compared to my EOS Elan film camera.

Cheers,
Scott.
