The new PowerShot SX230HS was released by Canon early in 2011. The SX230HS is compact and not as bulky or heavy as some other cameras with similar features such as GPS. It is lightweight and quite slim for easy portability and storage.
This model comes with a 14x optical zoom lens, which is plenty to capture objects that are far away. The power of this 14x Optical zoom lens is better than a number of good sets of binoculars, and it will help create some amazing shots. This lens will bring planets closer!
The Canon PowerShot SX230HS has a 12.1 megapixel resolution so you can take high definition pictures, a 3.0 wide LCD (liquid crystal display) with HS (high sensitivity) system which combined not only allows for you to take strikingly beautiful, clear pictures but also enables you to take even better pictures in either low light or pictures taken at night.
In addition it comes with a 1080p video resolution which adds to the wonder of this digital camera. Obviously, not all photos taken at night using the HS system will be perfect but this system enables better pictures in low light conditions than many other cameras in today's market.
You will be suprised by the good quality of the video that this camera produces. The PowerShot SX230HS records in 1080p HD (high definition) at twenty four fps video high definition, whereas some of the older models come with a 720p resolution.
It is able to catch very small details up close combined with brilliant colors very much like it does when taking still photographs. This camera allows you to optically zoom even while you are filming a video clip. To help with filming video clips the CIS (continuous image stabilization) assists in keeping your images still even when you are using full magnification.
As far as the noise that goes along with shooting videos, some actually had no sound whatsoever while some had an audible motor sound. You can even shoot your videos in a number of settings such as in color accent and super slow motion.
Canon has created two distinct categories located in the mode dial, rather than merging the effects together with the various scene modes. Because of this feature, it is now easier to find various modes of shooting. This camera also received an increase in LCD pixels displayed upon its full three inch widescreen display which gave it quite a jump from just over two hundred thousand dots to a better than over four hundred and fifty thousand dots per picture.
The improved LCD quality assists with detailed focusing and really improves the overall flexibility of this camera. The PowerShot SX230HS was designed with an automatic pop-up flash and touch sensitive rear control panel similar to the Powershot SX210IS, however the SX230HS includes a GPS sensor and relocated power button.
And now I should talk more about the new GPS feature. You really need to be outdoors and it can take some time for the camera to 'fix' its position. Thats the only bad news. When it is working, it works very well.
It even comes complete with a maps program that keeps track of every GPS-laden image by showing their coordinates on a Google map. This will let you enjoy seeing all of the wonderful places you visited on that last vacation to London, England.
One note of caution to keep in mind is that if you happen to keep the GPS logged on, it will drain your camera's battery power even when you have powered off. Based on the ratings and reviews of this camera, the PowerShot SX230HS comes highly recommended for anyone looking for a very good decently priced camera.
