Advantages: easy to use

Disadvantages: might need to read the manual to figure out the shutter speed setting

as my first digital camera the Canon Powershot SX10 really enstilled me with a passion for photography. you can vary the shutter speed as much as required to get different effects on your photos. there's also lots of pre programmed shutter speeds that i found very helpful when first trying my hand. the memory is more than sufficient as long as you remember to transfer your photos onto another device occasionally, approx 600 photos. the camera can also take video which is great when a photo just won't cut it. the optical zoom of only x4 was my main concern when i brought the camera but its never limited what photos i take, though for more advanced photographers it may not be sufficient. one of the Canon Powershot SX10 's best features is the large viewing screen which is great for taking quick snaps and checking you've got everybody in the photo! for those who prefer to use the viewfinder there's one of those too. all in all a great first time camera - brilliant for taking quick photos of people, scenery and anything else you can think of :)
