If you want a camera that is simple to use, does a bit more than just point and shoot, takes wonderful photographs and has an extraordinary zoom then this is well worth considering. As ever great Canon quality too!

Canon PowerShot SX700 HS Review
The Canon PowerShot SX700 HS has a 30x lens and a lot of features, but image quality suffers in low light. The Canon PowerShot SX700 HS ($349.99) is a compact camera that packs a 30x zoom lens and a 16-megapixel image sensor, but is still small enough to slide into most pockets. It's got a big, sharp rear LCD, Wi-Fi, and controls that let you take full manual control over your photography. These features are matched note for note by our Editors' Choice Nikon Coolpix S9700( at Amazon). The S9700 edges out the SX700 when pushed to ISO 800 and adds in-camera GPS, but aside from those differences two cameras are quite similar. Design and Features The SX700( at Amazon) is a little bulkier than your average point and shoot, but it's pretty compact when you consider that it packs a 30x (25-750mm f/3.2-6.9 equivalent) zoom lens. It measures 2.6 by 4.4 by 1.4 inches (HWD) and weighs 9.5 ounces. Canon offers it in red or black, and there's a modest front handgrip that does its job in making the camera comfortable to hold. Its size is about average for a long zoom camera of this type; the Panaso...
Pros:
- Sharp lens
- Controls noise through ISO 800
- 2.5fps image capture
- Creative Shot function
- 30x zoom range
- Sharp rear LCD
- Wi-Fi
- 1080p60 video
Cons:
- Pricey
- Detail suffers at very high ISOs
- Limited control when using Creative Shot
