The Canon PowerShot SX10 IS, high-end models in the SX series, realize significant improvements over the S5 IS, which launched in June 2007 and featured a high-magnification zoom lens equipped with high-precision Image Stabilization.
While the SX10 IS incorporates a high-resolution 10-megapixel CCD sensor, the SX10 IS feature a newly developed 20x optical zoom lens for wide-angle (28 mm*) to telephoto (560 mm*) coverage. An Ultra Sonic Motor on the zoom lens drive and the newly equipped Voice Coil Motor on the focus lens drive enable quick and quiet zooming and focusing.
* In 35 mm format with an aspect ratio of 4:3
