After this much has been reported about the problem with the early closure I bought the camera to a store on site. Facts are known there, from serial number "3" is it indeed be better. Dealer has kindly serial number "4" picked out. The first impression was positive. Clean design, durable metal case. Turn on camera felt takes a second until you can do with the first shot. The operation, however, I like less, the settings using the jog dial I consider cumbersome because you have upped the ante too many scene modes. In addition to the normal trigger for photos there is a second trigger in order to start a video directly. Good idea, is just too close to the dial. If you have very quickly inadvertently started times video recording. Image quality is surprisingly good, natural colors. The images are, not least by the number of pixels Lowered, even at medium ISO values almost no noise. The zoom will operate properly. Slight distortions are indeed visible if you look closely, but in this price range probably nitpicking. Who is, however, exploits the focal length require a tripod. The otherwise well-working image stabilizer is there already overwhelmed. The videos have a very high quality, the autofocus corrected when zooming compared to other devices relatively quickly. But, the battery error. Although to date the work part is not as it should. With a fully charged battery is still all right. Only made numerous pictures. In the video recording starts after about 4-5 minutes, the charge level icon will flash. Next record videos or taking pictures but goes flawlessly. So that I could still be alive because of prima otherwise good quality. But then the message on the display "Charging", the camera turns off after 2-3 seconds. Wait a few seconds, turn on, and the icon indicator shows full charge. More images and longer video, about 4 minutes, without a murmur. Then again, the red indicator and the game starts all over again. Too bad this mistake the SX would have earned at least 270 4 stars without. But the whole thing is a nerve-wracking game of patience. The dealer takes back the camera, after many years I will probably say goodbye to the company Canon. Other mothers also have pretty daughters.
