AMAZING! Excellent photos
AMAZING! Excellent photos, easy to use, and the zoom is OMG AWESOME. Used this while on a cruise and had a blast seeing how far I could zoom everytime we approached shore.

ik hoop dat deze nog beter is dan de SX 240 HS
Ik had de SX 240 HS maar daar is een vuiltje op de lens gekomen en een kras er op gemaakt :( maar ik vertrouw zijn opvolger SX 610 HS volledig (het is toch een CANON )

While Canon's PowerShot SX610 HS camera has reached the 20 megapixels of resolution threshold -- a level of resolution that seemed unlikely for most point and shoot cameras just a few years ago -- just reaching 20MP isn't enough to guarantee that the SX610 is a great camera.

The Canon PowerShot SX610 HS ($249.99) is an affordable compact camera with a long 18x zoom lens. It's loaded with features, including Wi-Fi and Canon's fun Creative Shot mode, but its 20-megapixel image sensor does more to detract from image quality than it does to add to it.
Pros:
- Compact
- 18x zoom lens
- Quick focus
- Creative Shot mode
- Crisp rear LCD
- Wi-Fi
Cons:
- Image quality suffers at moderate ISOs
- Slow continuous drive mode

Canon PowerShot SX610 HS Review
The Canon PowerShot SX610 HS is an attractive compact camera with an 18x zoom lens, but image quality takes a step back from last year's edition. The Canon PowerShot SX610 HS ($249.99) is an affordable compact camera with a long 18x zoom lens. It's loaded with features, including Wi-Fi and Canon's fun Creative Shot mode, but its 20-megapixel image sensor does more to detract from image quality than it does to add to it. If you want a long zoom camera in this price range, you're better served with the SX600 HS ( at Amazon) , which is a year old but still available at retail. Our favorite pocket superzoom is more expensive, but we think that the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS50 ($350.00 at Amazon) is more than worth its asking price, and that makes it our Editors' Choice. Design and FeaturesThe SX610 HS ($258.98 at Amazon) measures just 2.4 by 4.1 by 1.1 inches (HWD) and weighs 6.7 ounces. It slides into a pocket with ease, thanks to its slim body. The chassis incorporates both metal and plastic, but it feels solidly built nonetheless. The lines of its body are a little more angular than those of the SX600 HS (2.4 by 4.1 by 1 inch,...
Pros:
- Compact
- 18x zoom lens
- Quick focus
- Creative Shot mode
- Crisp rear LCD
- Wi-Fi
Cons:
- Image quality suffers at moderate ISOs
- Slow continuous drive mode
