Almost perfect
Indoor no flash takes great pictures but using flash produce poor quality most shots Scene modes do not produce optimum specifications. Instead of using 'child' scene mode to catch shots of active child, use TV and adjust speed.
Pros:
- Good Image Stabilization
- Great Zoom
- Nice Body Color
Cons:
- Low light flash poor
- Macro inconsistent
- Poor Flash

Wish list of Features!
When I was researching cameras I knew I wasn't ready for a DSLR, but I was looking for something that wasn't bulky but had a pretty good opitcal zoom. The SX210 IS was just about to release and I started looking into it and it seemed perfect for me and did everything that I was looking for.
Pros:
- Tons of features in a small more compact camera 14x Optical Zoom
Cons:
- Flash is in an odd spot

Canon Powershot 210is
This is a great camera from Canon. The long 14x optical zoom , with wide angle makes it a versatile camera for all situations. A great travel camera especially. I like the fact its still small enough to put in you pocket, so you can take it everywhere with you.

- Easy to switch between still and
Cons:
- Somewhat slow performance (but on-par with competition in this category
- Macro shots somewhat soft

Beyond my expectations
Got this for the small size and 14X optical zoom - first pocket Canon I've found that can zoom in video mode and it refocuses as you zoom in! Hi def video mode, color quality, ease of use, all are great.

Canon Powershot SX210 IS Review – Zoooom!
Conclusion: The Canon Powershot SX210 IS has an impressive zoom range, one of the longest reaches available at 14x optical zoom – zooming all the way to the equivalent of 392mm – normally this level of optical zoom comes in the form of an SLR-style ultra zoom.
Pros:
- What I Don't Like
- – Vignetting when using full 14x optical zoom
- – Noise (black dots) in some images
- – Strong purple fringing / chromatic abberations
- – Slow fps
- and slightly sluggish shot to shot time
- – Only one 16:9 Widescreen photo mode at 9mp
- – Auto / Manual pop-up flash may annoy some

Canon PowerShot SX210 IS review
The Canon PowerShot SX210 IS is the rare camera that's sure to please a variety of users, making this pocket megazoom a solid recommendation for any camera shopper. It's a more-conservative buy than the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX5V, but it's still a fun camera with top-notch performance.
