Detailed review
We have a real estate business. I needed a camera that was somewhat easy for my wife to use, as well as something that photographs houses very well (Interior and Wide Angle Exterior shots - 28mm Lens). This camera also takes fantastic interior shots, once you adjust the settings to find the optimum - It isn't incredibly difficult, you just sometimes have to try a few different pre-sets for low light level interior shots. If the interior is lit decently, 8 times outta 10, you won't even need to play with the settings. If you are willing to refer to the manual and experiment a minute or two with the settings, there's not much this camera won't shoot superbly.

I'd recommend the SX10 IS to anyone for just about any type of shooting as well. Keep in mind that this is an SLR sized body. It isn't a pocket camera.

I purchased my camera from newegg. Got a great deal on the camera, great service as usual from newegg, and they offered an accessory package for a few extra bucks. The Dolica bag and memory package I was offered works fine with the camera. The camera fits in the Dolica bag fine - not like a glove, but adequate. The memory in the package (DOLICA 4GBWB3590 2-in-1 Kingston 4GB SDHC Card & Case Bundle Kit) works great.

Pound for pound, this camera is probably one of the best performing and fully featured in the $350~400 range.

If you need a wide angle point and shoot that you'll occasionally use for more demanding shots, you really can't go wrong with this one.
