Building off the design and layout of its S-series models, Canon has applied a rotating control dial to the back of the SX100. Similar to an iPod selection dial, the rotary control dial on the SX100 allows users to easily oscillate through menus or images, and select options using the function/set button in the center. Although the rotary dial helps speed up selection through long menu lists, it is too sensitive, often missing the selection intended by the user. The rotary dial would be much better if Canon had included a touch sensitivity control. |

The Canon SX100 IS, like many Canon cameras, has an effective menu system that is logical, organized, easy to navigate… and a bit dull-looking.
Ease of Use (7.0)
The Canon PowerShot SX100 IS shows a good balance between the average point-and-shoot and the advanced mid-range compact. The SX100 IS is portable but still sturdy. With a logical, although outdated, menu system and easy-to-use button controls, first time shooters should be able to use the camera with relative ease. The camera also includes live preview for white balance controls and color filters so users can see how their changes will affect photos before pressing the shutter button. Users should be pleased with the easy-to-use camera, whether they’re looking to upgrade from a 3x zoom or seeking an SLR backup.
