The price of most digital cameras trend downwards over time, and the same price drop should occur in the case of the Canon SX 10 IS super-zoom, prosumer digital camera.
I’m not planning for any scheduled updates, but do check back here from time to time for the latest price on the Powershot SX10 and accessories.

Canon Powershot SX10IS 10MP Digital Camera with 20x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom: $462.99 ($63.04 price increase since the last update)
Accessories include:
- AA batteries — IMEDION or Sanyo Eneloop NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries are your best bet, as they retain the charge for a very long period of time. Purchase additional batteries so that your SX10IS continues to have a backup power source during extended shooting sessions. A set of 4 alkaline batteries (non-rechargeable) are already provided for in the box.
- For storage, the SX10 IS uses SD or SDHC cards.
Refer to Rob Galbraith's <a href="http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/camera_multi_page.asp?cid=6007-9597">SD / SDHC card write speed tests</a> (done on a Nikon D90) to get an idea on the relative write and read speeds of different brands of cards. At the time of writing (Oct 29, 2009), the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=SanDisk Extreme III SDHC&tag=dpnotes-20&index=blended&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325">SanDisk Extreme III SDHC cards</a> occupy the top two spots. To ensure smooth recording of video and high resolution images, go for Class 6 or faster cards.</li>
Good luck shopping for your Canon SX10 IS!
