The SX700HS sits at the top of Canon's range of travel compact cameras, the better zoom-endowed brother of the SX600HS and the replacement for the SX280HS – Canon has decided to skip quite a few numbers in this series.

The Canon SX700 HS is the successor to the Canon SX280 HS , one of our favourite cameras of 2013. We like cameras that pack big zooms into slim bodies, and the SX280 HS delivered the highest photo and video quality we had seen from such a camera.

Sorry Canon, this is not one of your best. Fantastic zoom, nice handy size, but terrible picture quality. Ok I have some top of the range cameras to compare this with, but I have had much better ixus cameras that are 10 years old.

Having compared the Canon SX700 HS vs Nikon Coolpix S9700 the SX700 wins the day. Zoom capabilities are the best I have ever seen and Youtube reviews clearly demonstrated the cameras zoom capabilities. Far better than the competition. The only thing lacking is a gps feature.

Great camera. I used it in my safari trip. The small size and light weight allowed me proved to be very convenient on travel. The 30x zooming capability had proven to be very useful. This allowed me to take good pictures of animals at a far distance.

Despite the small size of Canon's PowerShot SX700 HS compact camera, it contains a lens with a 30x optical zoom that can go up to 750mm. It's a massive reach for any camera, let alone one that can fit in your pocket, and it opens up a slew of possibilities in terms of what you can capture and how...

30x optical zoom; Relatively easy to make manual adjustments; Good overall image quality

Mode dial location a little awkward; Some noticeable chromatic aberration; Wi-Fi feature not great

Coming at a price point of Rs 22,275 (For the red unit), the Canon SX700 HS seems to be decent choice. And to keep the camera ticking, there is the rechargeable Li-ion battery inside that lets you click 250 shots in various different modes.

Compact and sturdy; Stable shots even on maximum zoom; Host of features and modes; High Zoom; Full HD recording at 60fps

Stiff Mode dial; Tricky Wireless connectivity; Average performance in low light condition

This is my first deal on snapdeal. I got the best price for Canon Powershot SX700 HS on snapdeal.Very fast and hassel free delievery. The camera is superb, easy to use and user friendly.

Easy To Use; Fast/accurate auto-focus; Good Image Quality; Great Zoom; Small / Compact

Short Battery Life

This is a perfect cam in point and shoot category.. Easy connectivity. I could easily transfer my pics via wifi and nfc.. It avoids the hassle of usb and laptop. Pics can be sent directly to the Smartphone. Low light performance is amazing. Great shots in low light.
