The Bottom Line The PowerShot S1 IS's stabilized 10X zoom is a deal maker for enthusiasts who like to handhold distance shots but don't want to make large prints. Canon's SX120 IS pocket megazoom falls behind the competition in every aspect except photo quality. A top megazoom option, the Canon PowerShot SX1 IS offers a 20x zoom lens and HD video, which you can't get in a similarly priced dSLR, and delivers more features and slightly better performance and photo quality than the cheaper SX10 IS. A nice evolution of the megazoom, the Canon PowerShot SX10 IS delivers some improvements over its predecessor and provides an attractive option for megazoom shooters. As long as you're not expecting dSLR speed in a tiny body, the Canon PowerShot S90 is an excellent compact camera for advanced amateurs.
