The SX1 looks impressive with its snout fully out.
The pop-up flash position is reasonably high above the lens.
Unlike many compact cameras, the SX1 memory card doesn't have to share a compartment with the battery.
The menu system is legible but poorly organized.
The included wireless remote is a valuable extra both for shooting and playback.
You're never far from a fresh set of batteries with a camera that's powered by AAs.
The digital connections (USB and HDMI) are kept separate from the analog (standard AV and DC power).
With a nice right hand grip and some room for the left hand to get some purchase, the SX1 was the most comfortable camera to hold in our comparison group.

    Panasonic Lumix FZ150

    Excellent image quality, speedy performance, and a great design add up to the best superzoom that has ever graced our labs. That distinction seems to change hands every week, but trust us when we say that the FZ150 is a truly great camera. Read full 16-part review

    Sony Cyber-shot HX100V

    This professionally-geared ultrazoom offers some of the best color accuracy we've ever seen. It's a shame the other scores weren't quite so strong. Read full 16-part review

    Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ47

    Panasonic resists the urge to cram more megapixels and more focal length into their latest ultrazoom. The FZ47 instead focuses on image quality and features, resulting in an incredibly strong camera that we loved shooting with. Read full 16-part review
