Canon SX230 HS User Report

The $350 Canon SX230 could be the third GPS-equipped digicam I've reviewed in 2011, following a Casio H20G and also the Panasonic ZS10. We've certainly been getting our 10,000 steps every day basic assignments.

Just how do they pile up? The Canon is best camera one of many three as long as image quality goes, but trails the Casio H20G slightly in GPS implementation, lacking location names and Playback mapping. It will include logging, as well as a mapping application. The Panasonic ZS10 lags behind even though cameras in image quality and GPS implementation.

Detail were dot racing (and it really is dot racing season once again), the tip line would see Canon, Casio and Panasonic, for the reason that order, although you may reason that Panasonic, lame while it was, might never cause it to that far.

Canon has packed more than GPS to the Canon SX230, though, including slow-mo video that has been enhanced low light shooting. Which make it fun to twiddle even if you're not going anywhere this summer.

Appear and feel. Except the GPS radio bump topside panel, the Canon SX230 is identical towards SX220, plus the two ones aren't much totally different from last year's SX210. But the differences count pointing out.

The stereo microphones have moved from the SX210's top panel on the front of your new cameras, sitting 2.25 inches faraway from 1 another on both sides in the lens. Nice move.

Along with the Power button has slipped journey top panel to the top level ridge about the back panel on the new models. Along with the Zoom control has morphed right into a ring surrounding the Shutter button. Another nice move.

The flash remains to be a popup, whilst still being you want to anytime you switch on the digital camera. There is not any technique to disable that in Setup unfortunately. Although you may set the Flash mode not to ever fire, still it you want to. The one solution is and keep your finger on there while you power up through to the latch returns to the lock position to maintain it down. The popup flash is a good idea nonetheless it is implementation is often a nuisance to the SX230.

This is a beefy model (in fact, your filet mignon may resemble just canon's SX230). But there is however no considered to providing a grip except the slightly askew Mode dial about the back, that also serves as a thumb pad.
