This review is from: Canon PowerShot SX230HS 12 MP Digital Camera with HS SYSTEM and DIGIC 4 Image Processor (Black)Pros:[1] Very advance camera in a small package. Has a lot of the features of the Canon DSLRs. [2] You can edit the pictures within the camera (color, cropping, filters) [3] HD video recording is awesome. [4] 14X zoom plus 56X digital zoom. [5] GPS [6] Trigger shooting with smile or wink [7] Mini HDMI out put [8] Many modes to choose from. Tv, Av, M, P, Portrait, Landscape...just to name a few [9] Adjustable shutter up to 1/3200 [10] Adjustable ISO from 100-3200 [11] HS and IS makes this thing worth the money [12] Menus are easy to navigate (because its similar to the Canon DSLRs) [13] The mode selector dial goes all the way around without stopping. [14] Too many to list...Cons:[1] Get your finger off the flash. The location of the flash takes a little to get used to [2] Battery life is terrible [3] I have big hands so it's hard for me to grip it. [4] Aperture is only F3.1 wide open [5] Flash charges slow, but is decent for a point and shoot (I'm so used to my Canon 430 EX ii speed lite on my DSLR) [6] Shutter speeds of 1 second or longer is limited to only ISO 100.Final Thoughts:[1] Canon makes some of the best Cameras if not the best. You get a lot of the DSLR technology compacted into this little thing. [2] If this camera had a F2 Aperture like the Canon S95, it would be Canon's best point and shoot camera released to date, but there's a trade off when you want zoom. Both cameras are neck and neck in my book with the S95 edging it out by a hair because of the F2.[3] The biggest difference between the SX230 and SX220 (UK) is the GPS. Why isn't there a SX220 in the US? If you feel like importing one, it's about $80 less.[4] Love this camera so far. If you have a Canon EOS camera, it will be a sinch to use. I didn't even read the manual. Otherwise, if this is your first time using features like Tv and Av mode, then you'll want to read a book. [5] The price is just right, but could be just a tad lower. You get a great feature rich compact camera for this price. Don't get fooled by the touch or dual screen cameras. They are only gimmicks. If you don't want to carry around a huge DSLR, this is the one for you.[6] This camera is for my wife to replace her crappy Sony Cyber Shot. I own a Canon 7D.[7] The pros clearly out weigh the cons and there are really no deal breakers in the cons so if I were you, I would stop reading reviews on this camera and just buy it.

This review is from: Canon PowerShot SX230HS 12 MP Digital Camera with HS SYSTEM and DIGIC 4 Image Processor (Black)I bought this camera as a replacement for my Canon SD800IS, where I was very interested in getting the new GPS capabilities. I also have a professional camera with my Canon 7D, so this is more of a family/trip camera.Overall, I'm very happy the photo quality and manual features offered (control over exposure level, aperture setting, flash level, etc.) Having a single button to shoot video is great. However, the battery life is much shorter than my old camera. I'm getting around 200-220 photos (instead of 600+), with a few videos thrown in, per battery with the GPS feature turned on. Buy an extra battery. For the GPS: it takes about 1-2 minutes for the camera to lock on the satellites once outside. I think it's cool to see exactly where you took a photo and this will be neat for v...
