In this detailed review, Michael R. Tomkins gives a long list of pros and a nearly equally long list of cons for the Canon PowerShot SX100 IS, although nothing is especially scathing. The fact that the SX100 IS is just a little too large to fit in a pocket appears to annoy him most.

Website owner Jeff Keller writes very detailed, professional reports. His bottom line on the Canon PowerShot SX100 IS is that it's good for the price, but "it doesn't really stand out in one area." It can't compare with Canon's S5, he says, but it's a good value.
