Canon PowerShot S100

 

Matte black and tiny, Canon’s S100 looks totally unassuming. It’s also the finest camera here by some distance. In fact, we’re scratching our heads to find a single thing about it that isn’t totally brilliant.

Canon says its many years of digital sensor knowhow have been put to use in the S100. That, paired with the wide-aperture f/2.0 lens and new DIGIC 5 processor, adds up to clean, virtually noise-free images at anything up to ISO 800. Even above that, pushing towards Its ISO 6400 limit, photos remain surprisingly light on grain. It’s also a star with video, capturing razor-sharp 1080p movies at 24fps, or lower-res clips at 120 or even 240fps for ultra-slow-mo playback.

Canon PowerShot 310 HS

 

The Canon PowerShot Elph 310 HS packs a lot of camera into a very small package. The slim 12-mega-pixel shooter manages to squeeze in an 8x zoom lens that covers a 28-224mm (35mm equivalent) field of view. Images from the camera are sharp, it performs well in lower light, and it has a bright and sharp 3-inch LCD. All of these features and its ability to capture 1080p24 HD video make it our new favorite midrange compact point-and-shoot camera.

Light and compact, the 310 HS measures just 2.2 by 3.8 by 0.9 inches (HWD) and weighs in at 4.9 ounces. Its metal body feels very sturdy. Our review unit was finished in matte black, but the camera is only available at retail in purple, green, blue, pink, and silver.

Canon Powershot SX230 HS

 

The 200 series of Canon’s Powershot cameras has always impressed. The latest in the series is the Powershot SX230 HS. The looks of this camera have been worked upon but not so much that it does not conform to the 200 family tree. The camera has become slimmer, but the pop-out flash is still in the original placing near the left index finger which makes holding the camera a bit awkward. Thankfully you can tuck it back in and turn off the flash from the settings.

Canon Powershot S95

 

The S95 crams in almost as many functions as Canon’s range-topping G12 despite being cheaper and smaller at just 29.5mm deep. However, its photos are less impressive than certain rivals here, keeping it out of the top spot.
There’s room for a 3.8x optical zoom. 720p video capture and top quality Raw stills alongside Jpeg. The LCD screen is crisp and clear in myriad conditions while the camera’s bright f/2.0 lens, combined with up to ISO 3200 light sensitivity at full resolution, means it’s particularly adept in lower light.

Canon PowerShot A490

 

It takes a lot for a budget compact camera to stand out these days, but Canon’s PowerShot A490 comes with a surprising twist. The market is particularly messy at the £200 mark, where a gaggle of similar cameras vie for your cash. And with megapixel counts stalling and new features thin on the ground, for once the most interesting developments are happening much further down the line. Sub-£100 digital cameras have never been terribly tempting. Dodgy performance, poor images and no features to speak of have long meant that the only people buying cheap cameras were estate agents and people with the most cursory interest in taking pictures.

Canon PowerShot S90

 

The Canon PowerShot S90 weighs in at a slim line 175g and is only about three inches deep with its 28-105mm lens fully extended. It shoots in RAW as well as JPEG and comes with Canon’s Digital Photo Professional RAW-processing software, just as you get with Canon EOS SLRs. As well as SLRs. the Canon PowerShot S90 has a lot in common with Canon’s flagship compact, the PowerShot G11.

Canon PowerShot A495

 

Canon’s PowershotA495, replacing the A480 model, is about as cheap as the company’s cameras get. It feels plastic but image quality is what counts and we found the results from this pocket camera were comparable with the better-built, more expensive.

Canon PowerShot SD600

 

Canon PowerShot SD600 is featured with 6 mega pixels camera available with 2.5 inches large display screen. This model is available with 3x optical zoom lenses ensures good quality images. This model also consumes 35 percent less power as compared to other models. This digital camera supports high speed 2.0 connectivity for fast transfer of data.

Canon PowerShot 600

 

The Canon PowerShot 600 shows important characteristics that provide some advantages such as excellent image quality, top-notch build quality and quick performance. The disadvantages are highlighted by the fact that the camera ensures only the basic feature set. But, even though this camera does not allow users to enjoy any highly developed technologies, it definitely delivers a strong performance and quality photos. The Canon PowerShot 600 provides a max resolution of 832 x 608 pixels, CCD sensor, ISO rating of 100, normal and macro focus range, On, Off and Auto flash modes, self timer and 1MB internal storage space. All these features provide a basic camera that can satisfy the needs of any amateur photographer, without matching professional demands.

Canon PowerShot 350

 

The Canon PowerShot 350 ensures a standard resolution of 640 x 480. It also provides the basic features of a camera, which do not include viewfinder. As well, the shutter speed is quite low, thing that clearly shows that Canon PowerShot 350 cannot keep up with action photography. This camera highlights image storage compressing options, CCD sensor, a stabile ISO rating of 120, tele zoom of 42 mm, normal focus range of 70 cm, white balance override and variable flash modes which include Red-Eye Reduction, Off, On and Auto modes. The professional photographers consider that the quality levels cover the average photography needs which are enhanced by live view characteristics.
