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

Canon's new travel zoom puts a (surprisingly useful) 30x optical zoom in your pocket.

This is a great compact camera. I have owned other Canon Powershots and this one has the optical zoom that I was hoping for. I am an avid scrapbooker who loves to take photos and the combination of 16 megapixel and 30x optical zoom is great for capturing those long distance shots.

Easy To Use; Fast/accurate auto-focus; Good Image Quality; Good Image Stabilization; Good in Low Light; Great Zoom; Large Clear LCD; Nice Body Color; Short Lag Time; Small / Compact

I was very pleased to use this camera! I had an SD450 that I've been using for the past several years, which is now out of date. I really like that the functionality between Power Shot models is very consistent, meaning that I didn't have to re-learn a whole new camera. The 30x zoom is FANTASTIC!!!

Compact cameras are having a tough time these days with a slew of digital SLRs, mirrorless shooters and even smartphone cameras hogging the limelight.

Canon PowerShot SX700 HS Review - Canon's latest travel camera packs everything but the kitchen sink, but how does it perform when put through its paces?

Want to know whether it's worth upgrading to the SX700 HS, or whether you should save some cash and opt for the camera's predecessor Why not take a look at our head to head. While the Canon SX600 HS is an impressive compact thanks to its ultra-compact 18x zoom lens and its wallet-friendly price...

Features; Performance; Image quality; value for money

Slightly fiddly Wi-Fi setup

As the compact camera market continues to shrink, the outlay of new product seems to be surfing a common theme: zoom is increasing in a war waged with fixed-lens smartphone cameras.

Point and shoot ease or full manual control; close-up macro mode; good image stabilisation; decent image quality

Limited autofocus options; no raw capture; 30x zoom limitations at longer extension; no touchscreen; more basic than Panasonic TZ60

Canon sticks to the tried-and-true formula of more megapixels and more zoom for the PowerShot SX700 HS.

If you're looking for more than just a simple snapshot experience from a compact zoom camera, the Canon PowerShot SX700 HS should be on your short list, despite a couple shortcomings.

Along with its 30x zoom lens, the Canon PowerShot SX700 HS has fun and useful shooting options; built-in Wi-Fi with NFC; a high-resolution LCD; and excellent shooting performance and daylight photo and video quality.

Its low-light (high-ISO) photos could be better and while its battery life is noticeably better than that of its predecessor, you'll still want to keep an extra battery handy for all-day shooting; Canon could have done more with the camera's NFC.

The Canon PowerShot SX700 HS ($349.99) is a compact camera that packs a 30x zoom lens and a 16-megapixel image sensor, but is still small enough to slide into most pockets. It's got a big, sharp rear LCD, Wi-Fi, and controls that let you take full manual control over your photography.

Sharp lens; Controls noise through ISO 800; 2.5fps image capture; Creative Shot function; 30x zoom range; Sharp rear LCD; Wi-Fi.

Pricey; Detail suffers at very high ISOs; Limited control when using Creative Shot
