I am looking for a reasonably priced camera to take landscape/wide angle shots. What are your comments about this capability? Thanks!

This camera is by far the best of the cheap cameras I have ever owned. So happy with it. I have tried them all

Its a very good camera for the price, but if your looking for professional shots not the camera for you. But for amateur its a great camera

I find this camera very satisfactory with both subjects. I haven't used it a great deal yet because I haven't been traveling much these past few months, but the friend who owned an identical camera (and the reason I bought mine) got wonderful pictures with hers. Hope this helps!

This camera is not the best one for what you need. That is my personal opinion of course.

You can ABSOLUTELY add a 2 x telephoto or wide angle lens. I haven't done so but the lens is threaded and I plan on getting one shortly. Fun camera so far and looking forward to better weather to really put it through it's paces.

Yes this is an awesome camera. I use it for concerts as well and it takes fabulous pictures. I wish I could share a few for you. Its light weight and the speed is awesome. Not a point and shoot. You will have make settings for each situation just like any DSLR. I love mine and intend to use it as my primary camera.

Hey Sean,I am eager to see your new posts about your camera. Since the prices are dropping dramatically here, I will order one soon myself. On another site, someone said that one of the issues with people... not the camera is that they keep expecting it to do what a DSLR (I think that is right/ I am inexperienced here) does. What are soft images?

If you're a new photographer it will do a good job for you. The price can't be beat. It will work with that camera! You will have both wide angle and telephoto!

The zoom is amazing. As for wide its goes wide like other cameras. But doesnt do any kind of panoramic that i can tell. Just put it on a stand and turn camera slightly after each shot and you can make your own panoramic.

I'm considering the 880 but have seen mixed reviews regarding its slowness as well as low-light shots...can you share your thoughts? I want a camera that is ready to take a photo quickly (recovery time if you will) and also captures the image quickly (without being in sport or multi-shot mode)...would you recommend?

Hi. I have been playing with this camera a good deal the last couple of weeks but mostly on how well it does bracketing and comparing the exposure control settings vs a true representation of the scene at low light. I will keep a hold of the question and test out the GPS this weekend and let you know. Hope that helps. (Great little camera by the way).

Yeah. You are spot on!! :)This is a perfect camera for that choice. it has a good sensor with excellent image quality. It is really very good. Only thing is that the panorama stitching of photos has to be done on computer using the software provided.Except that it has lots of controls which you can play with.

Dear Stan,I just purchased the S10 as a replacement camera and generally love it. However, the lack of an eyelevel viewfinder is a huge drawback. I spent a week in Mexico at the beach and just couldn't for sure see what I was shooting. The good news is that I shot anyway and got some really awesome action shots of sea birds and ocean wildlife. I've learned to view from the side so I don't see a bright reflection of myself in the LCD. I'm sure it does not help that I need reading glasses (the I generally don have on outside) to see close objects so that blurs the LCD too.

I very much appreciate your comments and suggestions, I finally decided to buy the camera. I am eager to use it and test its features. After my experience will comment. Greetings

Just purchased the Canon SX40. It is truly amazing. There are not too many boats out on the ice right now, but I think it will do what I want. The picture quality is fantastic. Shortcomings? Since I'm a newbie I don't understand why some pics are blurry and others not; but that is probably more my inexperience than the camera. Also, it shoots 1080 video only at 24 fps. This is still pretty good, but there are some situations where a moving video is less crisp. But I could always switch to non HD if I choose, and have 30 fps that way. Thanks for your help.

Thanks, Spanky, for the info. The camera arrived the other day and it's awesome. As a matter of fact, I took some closeup shots this morning of a silver dollar, with the camera mounted on a minipod and room lighting. They turned out great. BTW, I used the iA setting.

Do they make any outdoor cameras with a wider field of view? My current camera has a 45 degree FOV and its waay too narrow to monitor my backyard. I am thinking that 90 degree would be good, but wider would help cover the whole yard with two or less camera.

Hi, I bought this camera for my mom. She loves it...said it is a very versatile. My brother is a professional photographer. He loves the camera and even though he has 3000 dollar cameras thought this would be a great everyday camera. He was impressed with all the features it has for such a compact camera. Hope this helps. Have a good day.

Yes... I'm very happy with the sp570 that I'm using right now, which includes RAW and RAW+JPEG shooting, as well as a hot shoe. I was hoping Olympus would include a rotating LCD after Canon's new model. That would have been nice. I'm upgrading to an SLR shortly, but the specs on this are worth a second glance. 26x... wow. The Bird-Watching mode also appeals to me as a wildlife photographer, although I'm not sure how exactly it would work. I know the smile shot option on the 570 is utterly useless. But the predecessor, although much maligned, is a fantastic camera, so I guess we'll have to see.
