Canon SX230 HS User Report

The $350 Canon SX230 is a third GPS-equipped digicam I've reviewed in 2011, following a Casio H20G as well as the Panasonic ZS10. We've certainly been getting our 10,000 steps every day with one of these assignments.

Just how do they stock up? The canon eos is the greatest camera among the three where image quality goes, but trails the Casio H20G slightly in GPS implementation, lacking location names and Playback mapping. It will include logging, in addition to a mapping application. The Panasonic ZS10 lags behind these two cameras in image quality and GPS implementation.

Detail were dot racing (and it's dot racing season once again), the tip line would see Canon, Casio and Panasonic, in this order, although you can debate that Panasonic, lame since it was, might never ensure it is that far.

Canon has packed in excess of GPS on the Canon SX230, though, including slow-mo video that has been enhanced low light shooting. That means it is fun to twiddle if you are not going anywhere this summer.

Look. Apart from the GPS radio bump on top panel, the Canon SX230 is similar towards the SX220, as well as two advisors aren't much distinctive from last year's SX210. Though the differences count mentioning.

The stereo microphones have moved from the SX210's top panel towards front from the new cameras, sitting 2.25 inches from the the other on each side of your lens. Nice move.

And also the Power button has slipped off the top panel up ridge within the back panel on the new models. As well as the Zoom control has morphed in to a ring surrounding the Shutter button. Another nice move.

The flash remains a popup, yet still arises when you activate you. There's really no technique to disable that in Setup unfortunately. Although you may set the Flash mode to prevent fire, still pops up. The sole solution is and keep your finger into it when you switch on prior to the latch returns to your lock position to keep it down. The popup flash is a wonderful idea nevertheless its implementation is actually a nuisance about the SX230.

This is usually a beefy model (in fact, your filet mignon look like only the Canon SX230). However , there is no shown to providing a grip except the slightly askew Mode dial around the back, that also is a thumb pad.
