Michael Tomkins at Imaging Resource has a delightful review on the new Canon PowerShot SX100IS .
He concludes that "Overall, the Canon PowerShot SX100IS is an enjoyable, versatile, and very well thought-out digital camera. A truly powerful zoom lens really frees you to get close to action you might otherwise have missed, and optical image stabilization ensures that when you do, the shots won't be a blurry mess. A range of manual controls and options ensure there's room to grow into the camera's capabilities as your experience increases, but simple presets and auto functions make sure that beginners can still get the shot without needing to understand camera jargon. Image quality, with the exception of some noise related issues, is generally great, with good color and exposure metering, and the ability to tweak output to your tastes. Face detection -- the must have feature for 2007 -- is implemented nicely in a way that genuinely helps improve your pictures without getting in your way, and the face select function in playback mode can really speed checking your images once you're familiar with how it works. You won't fit the Canon SX100 IS in most pockets, but it's still compact enough that it won't get left at home collecting dust. Battery life is excellent, and pricing is affordable as well. If you're in the market for a long-zoom digicam, the Canon PowerShot SX100 IS is definitely worthy of consideration."
