Summary, Pros, Cons

This is a great projector. Finally there is a truly portable SXGA+ projector that is affordable, and that is $2000 below the next least expensive SXGA+ projector that I'm aware of. It screams "watch out" to the SXGA+ projector competitors. With 2500 lumens it has sufficient "horsepower" for the vast majority of users and applications.

Awarding the Canon Realis SX50 a Hot Poduct Award was really easy. This projector is simply well done - in all areas.

Pros

Cons

• Remote lacks disk pad, limiting cursor control to up/down/left/right for computer presentation/cursor control
