The £455 can buy you a DSLR with a couple of good lenses. But then, don’t make the mistake of comparing the Canon PowerShot SX1 IS (an advanced point and shoot) to an SLR – the SX1’s stupendous zoom and HD video recording cannot be got in an SLR at th...
Massive 20x range with 28mm wide angle, Full HD video in 1080p with stereo sound, Fast continuous shooting at 4fps, Fully articulated 2.8in screen.
Fringing in corners with high contrast subjects, Battery life shorter than SX10 IS, Small viewfinder image, especially at 4:3, Slightly noisier than the SX10 IS.
Canon’s PowerShot SX1 IS is arguably one of the most technologically successful hybrid cameras to date, offering both 10 Megapixel stills and Full HD 1080p video recording in a compact body with a 20x zoom, fully articulated screen, fast continuous...
So what do you truly get for £160 more than the already competent 4/5 scoring SX10 IS? You get a CMOS rather than CCD chip, high definition movies rather than the standard definition 640x480 pixels found on most compacts, a remote control included in ...

Abstract: Although CMOS image sensors are common throughout Canons DSLR range, the PowerShot SX1 IS is the first compact camera from Canon to be fitted with a CMOS sensor. Offering 10-megapixel (effective) resolution, the SX1 ISs sensor is significantly smalle...
Abstract: With a 10-megapixel resolution and 20x zoom, this camera may seem wildly overpriced compared with Panasonic's FZ28. However, two key features differentiate it from most other ultra-zoom cameras. This is the first Canon PowerShot to be built around a CM...
Relatively fast; good hi-def video; raw file support
Large; quirky interface; some image artefacts
One of the best superzooms we've seen, the Canon PowerShot SX1 IS offers a 20x zoom lens and HD video, which you can't get in similarly priced digital SLRs. It also delivers more features and slightly better performance and photo quality than the chea...
Abstract: Maintaining the similar SLR-like styling and high ratio 20x zoom of its predecessor, the popular S5 IS model, Canons new PowerShot SX1 IS adds several innovative features to the mix. Most notably, the SX1 IS is one of the first compacts to feature a n...
