Canon PowerShot SX210 IS
14.1 megapixels | 3" screen | 28 – 392 mm (14×)
Successor to the SX200IS, the Canon Powershot SX210 IS combines what might loosely be termed IXUS-inspired styling, with more conventional Powershot ergonomics. A metal body shell and semi-matte finish set it apart from Canon's lower-end offerings, and its stabilized 14x optical zoom is one of the most powerful of its competition. The SX210 IS's core features are well-implemented and the camera's key systems, like AF, WB and metering, are accurate and reliable.
Our main frustrations with the SX210 IS are sub-par image quality when examined at 100% compared to the competition, and some strange and unwelcome ergonomic quirks that detract from the generally fluid handling.

The Canon PowerShot SX210 IS is a compact ultra zoom camera that packs a 14 Megapixel CCD, 14X optical zoom lens, 3-inch widescreen LCD display, a full set of auto and manual controls, and a 720p movie mode. It takes good quality still photos (and so-so quality videos) at lower ISOs, and generally does most things as well as most cameras in its class. Negatives include fairly strong purple fringing, a weak flash, no support for the RAW format, sluggish continuous shooting, and below average battery life. The SX210 is worth checking out, though you should take a close look at other cameras before making a purchase.

The PowerShot SX210 IS is Canon's second attempt at a squeezing a super-zoom lens into a pocket camera, but rather than just tweak the original version, the latest model features a new sensor, lens, screen and body, not to mention a number of improvements under the hood. This is a classic Canon strategy, using its considerable resources to produce what looks like a new product when other manufacturers nip and tuck an existing one.
Another classic Canon strategy is, for better or worse,...
