Canon Powershot SX10 IS: Kwanon comes roaring back

There was a time when Canon was just an outsider looking in with regards to digital ultrazoom cameras. Hey, why should they bother right? They got a nice DSLR line-up. Besides, the tried and tested S5 IS is still out on the market.Then one day, Canon woke up from the stupor they are in and realized that their S5 IS with a 12x zoom is loosing out on ultrazoomers that had ranges of 15x or more. So, they decided to whip up some technical magic and came up with the Canon SX 10 IS. I recently got hold of the Canon SX10 IS when my boss figuratively threw one at me with the order to give it a whirl. Although I had a ton of work to do, I had to grudgingly agree. Well, if you would believe that.
