I wanted to buy a SLR camera to replace the one I had stolen years ago. While researching them, I stumbled upon this camera. Long story short, I bought this camera and am very happy with it. The SX410 has 20 megapixels, which is as much as many DSLR's have. The 40 times optical zoom allows me to take photos which are almost as nice as those I would get from a DSLR camera and big lens. However this camera is much smaller and lighter than any DSLR, as well as more portable, and easier to use. I have attached photos taken with this great camera.

While this is not as small or light weight as a number of cameras, it is smaller and lighter than most full sized cameras. Yet it performs like one of the big boys. Excellent long range zoom. Image stabilizer works well. High end for pixel count. Shoots HD movies. Plus it has the excellent optics and shooting programs that Canon is known for. We just got back from a trip overseas, and I couldn't be happier with the pictures (some of them shot on the fly as I was crossing the street). Shot excellent shots with just the low level available light inside several cathedrals, and produced clear first rate pictures. I only shot a couple of short movie shots, but they were of excellent quality. It lives up to it's name - Canon - and that's really saying something. The photo I am attaching was shot using available light and zoom lens .
This review is from Canon - PowerShot SX410 20.0-Megapixel Digital Camera - Black

For well lit and daytime pictures this camera works well, It takes nice shots but under bright sunshine it doesn't do as well as I had hoped. At night forget it. It is very difficult to focus at night and esp when using the zoom. For indoor pictures I would definitely use a flash. Overall it is a good camera for the money. But if you want more control of the picture look elsewhere, this has very little control over aprerature and f stop.
