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

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

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.

Does not miss a shot

Easy To Use; Fast/accurate auto-focus; Good Image Quality; Good in Low Light; Great Zoom; Short Lag Time

purchased this camera for my wife after considerable research on compact zoom cameras. Previously, she owned a Fuji f500 which had a 15x zoom, but would intermittently freeze up requiring the removal and reinsertion of the battery.

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

Poor Button Loc Thumb

The summer is a good season for traveling abroad, and what better way to capture that once in a lifetime experience than to capture memorable pictures. While most of us tend to just rely on our smartphones these days, having a dedicated camera still has plenty of advantages.

30x Zoom; Built-in Wi-Fi; Plenty of shooting options; Good image noise control

NFC functions are limited; Can't be charged via USB

Got this unit as a handy travel camera - main camea Canon D5 with 100 - 400 Zoom which is too heavy to carry around. Worked well and I am truly impressed - takes good pictures and is quick to use - I haven't played with the myriad of settings yet - just bought it - charged it up - and bingo.

I must say that this Camera is something truly amazing and I HIGHLY recommend it to everybody, specially to those who are not professional photographers but want at the same time to learn about it and don't want to start with something big and expensive. The Camera has 120x zoom!

Incredible Zoom

Battery life could be better

I'm not a real camera techie so I can't speak to that but it's a nice camera that takes pretty great pic. The zoom is amazing. I recently took this camera on a trip and from the 8th floor roof deck of the hotel I could zoom in on specific player in a tournament across the street in a large parking...

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.
