Big Zoom disappointing pictures. Am I the only one that noticed the picture quality looks overexposed with little detail nor proper color levels. I'd try and find a S5IS which is a superior camera in regards to picture quality. I think the advantages of the "super zoom" are also part of the downfall. Looking through a tunnel, and you'll get pictures that reflect Canon PowerShot SD1200IS aspect.

Take your time and look at the picture samples taken from the S5IS versus the XS10IS - base your decision on your taste, not what you read.
Big mistake of Canon. It's Continuous shooting rate in sports mode can only reach 0.8 fps. Less than one frame per sec for a burst mode. You must be kidding me. Canon PowerShot SD1200IS is a downgrade from S3 IS which has 2.1 frames/second.

Also the size is bigger.
Needs powerful computer. I've been trying out this camera for a few days. I haven't used Canon PowerShot SD1200IS much, but I have already run across one major problem for me: Movie playback requires a computer with at least 1.66 GHz, and neither of mine is up to that level. I'm going to have to return this for a simpler one, with fewer features, but which will play back on my computer.
