Canon PowerShot SX210 IS
A year after releasing the PowerShot SX200 IS, Canon has upped the ante with the SX210 IS. Resolution is boosted to 14 megapixels and the zoom lens range is extended from 12x to 14x, but kept its 28mm equivalent wide angle of view. The new camera is offered in black or purple.

- Manual controls
- 14x zoom lens (28 - 392mm
- HD video with stereo sound
- All-metal body
Cons:
- Generally soft images
- Fiddly zoom control
- Too high resolution for size

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.

Canon Powershot SX210 IS Review – Zoooom!
Conclusion: The Canon Powershot SX210 IS has an impressive zoom range, one of the longest reaches available at 14x optical zoom – zooming all the way to the equivalent of 392mm – normally this level of optical zoom comes in the form of an SLR-style ultra zoom.
Pros:
- What I Don't Like
- – Vignetting when using full 14x optical zoom
- – Noise (black dots) in some images
- – Strong purple fringing / chromatic abberations
- – Slow fps
- and slightly sluggish shot to shot time
- – Only one 16:9 Widescreen photo mode at 9mp
- – Auto / Manual pop-up flash may annoy some
