The bottom line–a great and functional camera with a lousy operations manual. Fire the technical writer and keep the camera!
I bought this camera because lugging my Canon HD video camera and the EOS 50 with a couple of flashes and a tripod just does not work when hiking into backwoods areas. Since I am familiar with advanced Canon cameras, I did not find the operations of this camera totally unfamiliar. It does have some special bells and whistles in the automatic shooting modes that I had to practice with before feeling comfortable. The operations manual looks more like a map for an online tutorial and refers question areas to a series of remote pages. This is highly annoying when figuring out questions like how to set HD versus regular video recordings. I wish there was some way to put a basic UV filter on the zoom to protect the lens. Otherwise, I am very satisfied with the camera.
My practice with the camera has been limited to weekends, but I have been very pleased with the photo quality and color renditions on still shots. I actually hand held the video at a sheep dog trial, and the image stabilizer was wonderful at full zoom. A tripod would have been better, but I failed the boy scout motto on that trip.
This is not a camera for impatient amateurs. It requires time and attention to detail to get the advantages over the SX20, but it does exactly what I need.

While I am sure you can generally find lemons in every product, this camera is a joy to own if it is in good working order.
A note about the battery life is don’t try to use regular AA batteries unless you are just in a pinch. They will last no time at all. Invest in hi quality Ni Mh or whatever they are called rechargables. They last Waaaaay longer than alkaline. I am sure the camera heads already knew this but the info may help another non-camera head like me.

Can an all-in-one camera do it all? No. Well, what do you expect from a camera that costs as much as a HD camcorder can. How is it as a camera? Upgrading from a Canon SD870IS (digital Elph), it is brilliant.
Pros:
High quality flash compared to Elph. Indoor shots are much nicer. The Elph would wash out the colors, whereas this camera provides pictures with nice color indoors.
Picture quality and zoom are far superior to small point and shoot cameras. There are some reviews claiming poor picture quality. I did not compare directly to the more expensive SLR cousins, but there are detailed reviews with image comparisons on sites like steves-[...]. They did not notice artifacts and other issues that people are claiming.
Parents, you will love the “sport” mode. There is no focus time when you are outdoors. If you see a shot you like, then you can just snap it right away. The pictures look great (as long as you have plenty of light). There is another mode where you can focus on a person and as the person moves it will track the focus of the individual. This mode is nice for following your busy child around too, but it’s a bit tedious when there are multiple kids around and you have to tell the camera which face to track.
AA batteries: Get high quality rechargeable batteries and you will be satisfied (e.g. Sanyo Eneloop). No worrying about having to charge proprietary batteries.
Cons:
Video quality suffers indoors. The big problem is the video loses focus frequently when the lighting is not bright. Under conditions where a normal camcorder would be fine, the focus can fade in and out of the subject. I miss having an add-on light to increase lighting. I use a headlamp when indoors to compensate.
Outdoors, the video works much better. It won’t replace an HD camcorder, but you can still get some nice clips.
Overall, the camera takes brilliant photos and the video is a nice option to have, especially outdoors where it is reliable.

Our new Canon SX1 produced some nice HD videos and photos on weekend. It is the best point and shoot digital camera we own so far. It is not as bulky as the SLR and it is less complicated too. The 20x zoom is very useful. The HD video and photo are much better than our 12.5 MP pocket size point&shoot digital camera.
We are successfully produced great HD video and still photos. It is edited using Cyberlink PowerDirector 8 and it is recorded on the blu-ray disc. I have to say PD8 is a great tool to edit HD video and photo. The 1080P video and photos looks great on the 56″ HDTV.
Without coffee, my hand is too shaky to produce a stable video. When my hand is stable, the HD video is superb. My next purchase will be a nice and sturdy tripod. The HD video and photo below are taken with SX1:

Upgraded from an older point and shoot Canon. Really researched this camera. So far, I love it. I’m used to the Canon menus, so using this camera was an easy change. Daytime pic’s are great. Night shots are challenging, but with a little experiimentation and a steady hand, I’ve taken some great pic’s. And the video mode in HD is amazing. Some have said the playback is jerky, I have a newer laptop and decktop PC, and the video is playback is fine. Great camera!
