Canon SX510 is cheaper and also lighter than those Bigger SX series cameras.It gives you a 30x optical zoom which is equivalent to 720mm with same CMOS sensor Canon Powershot SX50 HS camera has. But it doesn't have a view finder and comes with DIGIT 4 image processor (SX50 has a new DIGIT 5 one)

This superzoom camera is not an upgrade for Canon SX30 or Canon SX40 cameras but for those who have old Canon bridge cameras like SX10 or SX20 models this camera might be a cheaper upgrade than the latest model which is SX50. Not everyone can afforded a $400 even it's one of the best Mega zoom cameras out there so SX510 is cheaper but a really good alternative.

Few days ago one for my friends ask me to do a research to find a perfect digital camera for her. Her requirements were,

• Has to be a cheap camera something around 200 usd
• Good indoor and outdoor photos
• Small size
• Easy to use

The Digital camera which came to my mind first was Canon Powershot A580. Which you can get for around 150$ a brand new one and a refurbished one as low as 75$ ! But I thought its better recommend the Canon PowerShot A590 IS Because its Image Stabilizer feature. For someone who don't use Camera for everyday its a great help to get great Photos.

Since you can use Rechargable AA battires for this digital camera (2 AA's) you can keep extra sets of batteries if you want to take photos for hours.

Canon Powershot SX20 IS

Canon Powershot SX20 IS has been launched by Canon as the successor of Canon Powershot SX10 IS. But I don't see many things to get excited about this Upgraded version of SX10 IS Camera. They haven't add too much to make Canon SX10 IS users think about this new camera. This is definitely not a replacement or an upgrade for your Good old Canon Powtershot SX10 IS Camera.

What SX20 IS and Which SX10 IS doesn't have :

• 12 mp 1/2.3" CCP sensor ( SX10 IS has a 10mp 1/1.7" sensor).
• Hints & Tips within the camera's user interface ( I don't like it a lot ).
• More screen brightness settings.
• Can insert date and time on photos.
• Blink Detection ( shut eye )
• 720p video recording at 30 fps
• SD/SDHC Memory Card, MultiMediaCard, MMCplus Card, HC MMCplus Card

What SX10 IS had but SX20 IS doesn't have

• No HDMI cable to connect to HD TV (you need to buy separately).
• ability to record a voice message to photos is gone.
• Shorter manual only 179 pages ( SX10 has 289) But I was told its easy to understand.
• Only has superfine and fine modes. "Normal" more is gone.
  

There are things missing Which Canon should had added :

• Threads on the lens barrel for filter.
• RAW format
• Battery life indicator

Manual states that you must use the Canon software to transfer images/movies from the camera to a PC, else movies will not transfer (frames will be dropped) correctly and images shot vertically may be transferred in the horizontal orientation. So better not Copy and paste movies from your SD cards. I think this goes for SX10 IS camera owners too.

If you are new and want to buy a Canon SX series camera then Go for this new Canon Powershot SX20 IS but if you already have a SX10 IS camera thing you can be happy with yours. Because everything else are same.

Canon 58mm Snap-On Lens Cap

If you are a Canon SX10 IS owner who use Lensmate 58mm lens adapter then one problem you face is Canon SX10 IS original lens cap won't work with this 58mm Lens Adapter. So you need to find a new 58mm len cap.If you like to keep everything original and branded then you can buy a Canon Canon E-58U 58mm Snap-On Accessory Lens Cap. It does the job well.

But remember we are talking about Canon SX10 IS and Canon SX1 IS here. This 58mm lens cap is NOT a replacement for the slip on cap that comes with the S2/S3 cameras. It is made for use with an adapter and UV/filter lens. I have seen some people complain about this Lens cap after buying without reading about it. The Canon 58mm lens cap fits the Canon conversion lens adapter which you can use for S5is and other compact cameras.
Only problem this Canon 58mm Lens cap has is there's no strap or a string so that you can attach it to the camera. But you can sort out this with Bower CK501 Lens Cap Keeper. You can buy both from Amazon.com for very cheap. I don't think these can be found cheaper anywhere else.

Here is a photo of Bower CK501 Lens Cap Keeper on a Canon Rebel XSi.Its same for other cameras too.
