How much are good pictures worth to you personally or professionally? I would venture to say a lot! We use them to capture priceless personal memories and in our professional online galleries, marketing materials, portfolio, etc. So, we better make them good.
I was in search of an affordable wide angle lens camera. After much research, I found this one. The Canon Powershot SX10 IS. It was in my price range, under $400, has the capacity to attach an external flash for poor indoor lighting, of course has the wide angle lens and it has a mega zoom to boot. (I got mine on sale for $379 - do a search for best pricing). I wanted something easy to use and didn't want to have to deal with changing lenses all the time. This fit all of my criteria and got great reviews.

I am totally in love with this camera. I give it 5 stars. I went on a recent family vacation and the details captured were amazing. My kids were jumping in the lake and you could see the tiny droplets of water frozen in the air. The focus on action shots was amazing, no blur. That is a great victory when trying to capture an active 3 and 5 year old on film!
Spending the weekend with cousins...priceless!Professionally, I have also noticed a huge improvement when photographing my room redesigns. I can capture so much more of the room when I use the wide angle setting. Huge bonus! I have not purchased an external flash, but I think I may down the road.
So, my friends, what are your photos saying about you? If you are in search of a better camera, this is worth the small investment. Your business and portfolio will thank you plus you can't put a price on catching those personal moments on film!
Feel free to comment or ask questions. And no, I don't get paid to endorse this product.
Happy photographing,
