Canon PowerShot SX210 IS (black)

By (cnet.com)Read the full review

Nice selection of semimanual and manual controls; flexible lens in a compact body; very good photo quality

Slow shooting performance; some awkward design aspects; unimpressive LCD

If you want a compact megazoom with manual controls and fine photo quality, the Canon PowerShot SX210 IS is a good place to start.

The 14-megapixel PowerShot SX210 IS is Canon's entry; it's the company's most...

Canon PowerShot SX210 IS

By Gordon Laing (cameralabs.com)Read the full review

The SX210 IS's zoom offers an equivalent range of 28-392mm, taking you from wide-angle to powerful telephoto coverage in a compact body that'll squeeze into most pockets. This allows you to capture expansive landscapes, cramped interiors or big group ...

14x optical zoom: longest range of rival models.; 14 Megapixels: joint highest resolution of peers.; 720p HD movies with matching 16:9 screen.; Great auto modes or full manual if you prefer.; 14x optical zoom: longest range of rival models.; 14 ...

Flash always pops-up even when disabled.; Slow continuous shooting at full resolution.; Zoom motor is audible when filming video.; Widescreen monitor not ideal shape for 4:3 stills.; Flash always pops-up even when disabled.; Slow continuous shooting ...

But back to the Canon SX210 IS which offers four lower resolutions and a cropped 16:9 option, along with the choice of Fine and Normal JPEG compression; unsurprisingly there's no RAW option on this, or the other pocket super-zooms, although we would ...

Amazing camera with an awe inspiring lens"

By Dipteshdm (cnet.com)Read the full review

This camera is a great all rounder giving all... 

The main focus of this camera is i think the lens which can go to 14X optical zoom you can take amazing shots with the monster of a lens.The picture quality is amazing and you can have pro shots with the manual mode.Video is fullHD and performs well

Main drawback of this camera is the flash which is really very very annoying, if you want flash then your forced to hold the camera in awkward positions. Screen quality couldve been better and i keep wishing it was a touchscreen
