My new camera is on order and one review said it had the best in its class???? But do any review sites cover this sort of detail. Where I live is remote and the nearest camera shops have a very poor selection to get my hands on.

Hopefully when the camera arrives it should be OK but until them it would be good to read about it?

Its a Canon Powershot SX10 IS if anyone owns one?

    Did you look at http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/digitalcameras/0,39030233,49299818,00.htm?
    There were performance problems as well. The electronic viewfinder looks a bit grainy, though that's probably because the viewfinder eye-piece has a high magnification -- it's big and bright, certainly. The LCD on the rear is decent but it flattens your pictures. When you load them up on the computer they look washed out and not quite as vibrant as you thought.

    Thanks for the link and I know that viewfinders on DSLR's are much better but that is not what I would buy. Also know the pic on the LCD is often better that the pic when on PC screen and accpet that.

    Again thanks
