Canon PowerShot SX210 IS

Looking for a great camera this year? Then shoot some pictures and capture moments with your loved ones this Valentine’s with the Canon SX210 IS.

For starters, this is a 14-megapixel point and shoot camera with DIGIC 4 processor and 14X optical zoom. You can shoot in 22 different modes such as fireworks for glaring night shots, miniature to capture a mini-city effect, fisheye for some cool effects, or even as simple as auto mode if you don’t know what will suit best. Surely, choosing any of the modes will generate great pictures for different scenarios. Compared with other compact cameras, the SX210 IS has a servo auto focus with auto exposure. This means that as you press half way the shutter button to focus, it constantly refocuses and adjusts picture exposure levels as well to always suit the environment even if your subject moves. Also, the Smart Flash Exposure system of this camera automatically adjusts the intensity of the flash burst to avoid your pictures to fade out or to get overly exposed mostly during night or indoor shots.

For video enthusiasts, 720p resolution videos can be captured. However, the common problem is that most compact cameras don’t automatically focus on the subject; they focus at the start but use a fixed focus system from there. The Dynamic shooting mode eliminates this problem so that videos are as sharp as still images are.
