Canon PowerShot SX210 Review – Slow shooting performance

Manufacturers these days are more focused on putting a long zoom in a compact body and this is a byproduct of a similar theme. Canon PowerShot SX210 is a 14 mega pixel camera with a 28mm-equivalent wide-angle lens and has a 14x zoom. The resolution and zoom range is upped and the body is cut down to a slim size in order to make it more pocket friendly. The controls are been improved upon as compared to its predecessor but there are a still a few problems with it. I got quite frustrated occasionally and felt like banging the device on the floor. The shooting performance too could have been improved upon. On the flip side, the photo quality is nice and I liked the set of shooting options that the device had to offer. Photo quality of the Canon PowerShot SX210 is close to excellent but I did [...]

Canon Powershot SD3500 – Big touch screen display

This is a second camera from the manufacturer to come with a touch screen LCD. On the back, there is a three and half inch LCD which is large than what you normally see on standard cameras. The bigger screen also comes along with a bigger resolution. This makes sure you get plenty of real estate on the display to check the photos. Smaller screens have smaller resolutions where in the photos don’t look that good. The Canon Powershot SD3500 shoots at resolutions up to 14 megapixels and it has an ultra wide angle 24 mm along with a 5x optical zoom. Optical zoom are much better than digital zoom which is seen even in cell phone cameras. Digital zoom are nothing but magnifying lens which degrades to quality of the picture heavily if you zoom in to your pictures fully. There [...]

Canon PowerShot A3000 IS – Budget compact camera

With this camera, the manufacturer continues to emphasize on easy and fun photography. This is a 12 megapixel sibling in that series and it comes with lithium ion rechargeable battery. Optical viewfinders and manual controls have gradually started to disappear and Canon hasn’t completely dumped AA battery interface. It is just that they are not making it that much now. However, this is not enough to make it a good budget friendly device. This camera compromises on picture quality in order to make the price cheaper. The size of Canon PowerShot A3000 IS is between ultra compact bodies of chubby A-series and SD-series Digital Elphs. The exterior is all plastic and you get only a silver model along with black accents. The camera can easily fit a small handbag or pants pocket. The camera looks [...]

Canon PowerShot A490 – Excellent budget camera

We saw the PowerShot A480 in 2009 and Canon has updated it here by giving us 2 versions – A495 and A490. The later is cheaper by $20 but there are no options for colors. You get only silver model. Apart from that A490 has 5 point Face AiAF autofocus system as compared to the A495's 9 point and it doesn’t have a Face Self Timer. Finally, A490 doesn’t have two new shooting modes – Poster Effect and Super Vivid and the camera uses settings of 13 scenes for the Smart Auto mode. A495, has 18. The two cameras have their own set of differences but when it comes to photo quality, both are really great considering their budget category. (A495 though, was better in the Auto mode). The biggest drawback is that they aren’t as fast as other cameras in the competition; shot to shot times are really [...]
