Canon Powershot SX210 Digital Camera Review
For its market, the PowerShot SX210 IS does a good job of meeting what most people want from their super-zoom compacts. It produces consistent images in its automatic setting and the results straight out of camera should look pleasing in a 6x4 print.

The first few months of the year are always an interesting time in the camera industry, with all of the major manufacturers launching their new Spring models. Competition is fierce, and no more so than in the popular long-zoom compact sector of the market.
Pros:
- 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
