How to select the right Canon point-and-shootThe PowerShot S series Canon's long-zoom compact cameras fall under the S series, and are equipped with a wide selection of features that should appeal to enthusiasts. Most of these shooters have manual exposure control, and one of it can even capture RAW format images just like a dSLR. To keep blurry pictures at bay when shooting with the zoom extended, Canon employs an optical image stabilizer system in all of these snappers. In this series
PowerShot SX1 IS With a 12x optical zoom, the S5IS has the longest lens in Canon's compact shooter lineup. The 2.5-inch LCD is hinged on one side so users can tilt or swivel the lens to make taking high- or low-angle shots easier. It has a hotshoe so users can attach an additional light source to the shooter. Using conversion lenses can give a more wide-angle lens or increase the telephoto range.

PowerShot SX200 IS This compact long-zoom camera competes with the likes of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 and Olympus Mju 9000. What sets the Canon apart from the competition is its manual exposure control. The lens is widest at 28mm and can extend up to 336mm. To keep up the current trend, Canon has also included HD video recording in this shooter. Tags: DSLR, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., Camera, Nikon Corp., Panasonic |
