I have the camera now say for months in constant use and need that I was hesitant at first and can make beautiful pictures only through a lot of practice and trying out now. The camera is as it were meant as an interim solution between normal digicam and SLR for me. When you have familiarized yourself with all the settings (be sure to read the instructions several times) and everything has been tried once, you can snap beautiful pictures with this camera. By quite light weight it is also easily take. For night shots or long exposures, however, I recommend using a tripod, because the images have liked to shake and / or disarming. My conclusion: I have not looked back and have my PowerShot SX1 IS to be as good as ever.
