Canon Powershot SX230 HS ?
Not only does the Canon Powershot SX230 HS appear at the top of several pages as a result of its position in the alphabet, it is also, coincidentally, one of the best cameras in this group. The new sensor and processor deliver excellent image quality in just about any situation we tested the camera in, and when you add excellent optical quality and video performance into the mix, the SX230 HS is a very compelling camera. Compared to its predecessor the SX230 HS offers better image quality and a meaningfully expanded feature set, including effective GPS.
The only flies in the ointment are noticeable chromatic aberration and fringing in certain shooting situations (which the camera makes no effort to correct), noticeable barrel distortion at the wide end of the zoom and comparatively slow autofocus. We'd love to see Canon add a touch-sensitive screen in the next generation, but for now, the SX230 HS's 'traditional' button and dial interface works well. |
