DCRP likes the Canon SX10

*
DCRESOURCE.COM, one of my very favorite review sites, just published a favorable review of the Canon SX10. Go check it out, because its a great site you may not know about, but should. Their dislike of the SX10 was noise reduction artifacting at ISO 80, where it should not be an issue at all, and occasional purple fringing.

As for my comments, if you recall, I liked the SX10 as well, but not nearly as much as the Panasonic FZ28. The FX28 allows you to control the amount of noise reduction applied, unlike the SX10, and I had LOTS of purple fringing in my SX10 photos. I have seen very, very, very little purple fringing, in my already thousands of FZ28 shots.

I dont know if DCRESOURCE.COM will ever get around to reviewing the FZ28, and I would be very interested to know what it would conclude if it did, but in the mean time, I am still loving my FZ28, and steadily building my photo and HD video clip library of my life and family.

Thank you John for providing a valuable comparison.

Thank you Anonymous. I wish I still had the SX10 as well now, so I could do more in-depth comparisons with the FZ28 and post the results on this blog. Oh well. I am already planning now for next camera season, where I will wait and see what the two top contenders models are, buy both, and and then do some really exhaustive comparison tests. Very little, well, no other website really does that (compare two or models directly against each other), so I am going to try it in 2009.
