Canon PowerShot SX210 review
Canon's PowerShot range can be confusing. Unlike the Ixus range, which is a fairly tight grouping of mid-range compacts, a PowerShot can be anything from the A490 (now down to just ￡80 and no worse for it) to the breath-taking DSLR-threatening Canon G11 , which costs nearly ￡400.

Pros:
- Versatile14x zoom
- Manual exposure controls
- Attractive styling
Cons:
- Mediocre picture quality at best
- Unlabelled control dial
- Awkward positioning of pop-up flash
