The 16-megapixel PowerShot SX600 HS is sort of an oddball in Canon's SX and S models.
Though there's nothing extraordinary about it, the SX600 HS is a solid choice for snapshooters wanting a simple step up from a smartphone without sacrificing on-the-go sharing.
The Canon PowerShot SX600 HS delivers easy automatic shooting options; very good photo and video quality; and a useful zoom range with optical image stabilization in a slim; lightweight package and at a reasonable price.
The lens is slow; so indoor use of the zoom lens is limited; the autofocus can be frustratingly inaccurate at times; and low-light photo and video quality are merely OK.
