Successor to the SX200IS, the Canon Powershot SX210 IS combines what might loosely be termed IXUS-inspired styling, with more conventional Powershot ergonomics. A metal body shell and semi-matte finish set it apart from Canon's lower-end offerings, and its stabilized 14x optical zoom is one of the most powerful of its competition. The SX210 IS's core features are well-implemented and the camera's key systems, like AF, WB and metering, are accurate and reliable.
Our main frustrations with the SX210 IS are sub-par image quality when examined at 100% compared to the competition, and some strange and unwelcome ergonomic quirks that detract from the generally fluid handling.

Opinion: Please stop reviews until camera comes out! Read rules.
Problems: How do you review a camera you have never seen?
How do you review a camera you have never picked up?
How do you review a camera you have never used?
Please read the rules posted by DPR about "reviews".
Opinion: Why are these idiots not censored? This camera is not
even available. I might also be going for a DSLR but at
least I will have the decency to wait until the camera is
available and reviewed.
Opinion: Ok.. I actually have the camera. The store I got it said it was backordered but there were actually 3 in stock so I bought one. YOu can read the stats as far as what it has. I will be brief. The camera is excellent. It does very well in outdoors, indoors flash and no flash low light stitations. It can go full manual as well as auto and a number of pre programmed settings. It's high definition video and stereo sound are great. At first the position of the flash seems annoying but in a short time it is no problem and the fact that you can just close the flash to jshut it off if a plus. I do not think you could do better for 350 bucks. Oh and the zoom is just great to have something that powerful in a small machine.
Opinion: Firstly let me say that the first four reviews are a waste of time and should be removed, Anyway bought this PowerShot SX 210IS to replace my PowerShot SX100IS I usually change my camera after about six months or so but held on to my SX100IS because I really liked it and did not really see any reason to change for face lifted models with a few more mega pixels, I was temped by the PowerShot SX200IS but never bought because of the flash always staying up.
The PowerShot SX210IS firstly the way I hold a camera and turn it on my hand stops the flash from popping up (Canon say this will do no harm to the camera) so this is how I have been using it, If I need it ill pull it up and push it down if I don’t, so it not a issue as it was on the SX200, picture quality is very good but for me I see no difference between it and my old SX100 quality which I have to say is very good also , where the SX210IS ticks all the right boxes over my old SX100IS is its smaller with a bigger zoom more megs pixels a quite a few more features plus a wide LCD screen, and be able to zoom in HD moves is a big plus. Battery life is also good but I always carry a spare anyway , To sum it up I really like this new SX210IS its very pocket able and well built, my only issue being the macro is not as good 5cm compared to 1cm of my old SX100.
Problems: None so far
