I have been waiting like mad for this camera since March. The only reason why I missed its announcement is because I was searching for Canon S6 IS as the replacement for S5 IS. Apparently the new replacements are: SX10 IS and SX1 IS.
Just when I thought I was 100% sure which camera I’ll get, they make the choice difficult by giving two options.
SX10 IS vs SX1 IS
The main differences between the two are as follows:
- SX1 IS uses CMOS while SX10 IS is CCD based.
- SX1 IS offers HD videos
- SX1 IS has a 2.8 “articulating LCD while the SX10 IS has a 2.5″ one.
- SX1 IS is not available in North America.
- SX10 IS ships out in October while SX1 IS will be shipping around November – December.
