Right now, I am looking closely at the Canon PowerShot SX10 IS which would basically be the upgrade (several times) to what I have now: Canon PS S3 IS.

I am curious for those who have the SX10 IS, how well does the face detection work? I don't have that feature on mine, and it sounds like a great feature to have, if it works well.

LMAO I haven't figured out all the features. I see in the display a box that marks the face but not sure how it's affecting the picture. I am loving the moving making option as you have noticed.

Umm soft skin is making the baby's skin look pink but in other options it's either red or washed out from the flash. I tried shooting flowers but having issues with purples and pinks like I did with my old one. I use the AV setting the most. I need a day to sit down and test it out. First I need a babysitter.

I really want a high quality camera. This is my partners one and I always seem to lose the really good shots.
