The summer is a good season for traveling abroad, and what better way to capture that once in a lifetime experience than to capture memorable pictures. While most of us tend to just rely on our smartphones these days, having a dedicated camera still has plenty of advantages.
Pros:
  • 30x Zoom
  • Built-in Wi-Fi
  • Plenty of shooting options
  • Good image noise control
Cons:
  • NFC functions are limited
  • Can't be charged via USB

The SX700HS sits at the top of Canon's range of travel compact cameras, the better zoom-endowed brother of the SX600HS and the replacement for the SX280HS – Canon has decided to skip quite a few numbers in this series.

Poor Travel Camera

Purchased this camera for an extended overseas trip and found the resolution and color very poor consistently over some 1,500 photos. Picture quality got progressively worse as the zoom was used.
Pros:
  • Compact
  • Build quality
  • Battery life
  • Screen size
Cons:
  • Complicated
  • Screen size

this is not one of your best. Fantastic zoom

Sorry Canon, this is not one of your best. Fantastic zoom, nice handy size, but terrible picture quality. Ok I have some top of the range cameras to compare this with, but I have had much better ixus cameras that are 10 years old.

Canon PowerShot SX700 HS is overflowing with features

If you're looking for more than just a simple snapshot experience from a compact zoom camera, the Canon PowerShot SX700 HS should be on your short list, despite a couple shortcomings.
Pros:
  • Along with its 30x zoom lens, the Canon PowerShot SX700 HS has fun and useful shooting options
  • built-in Wi-Fi with NFC
  • a high-resolution LCD
  • and excellent shooting performance and daylight photo and video quality
Cons:
  • Its low-light (high-ISO) photos could be better and while its battery life is noticeably better than that of its predecessor
  • you'll still want to keep an extra battery handy for all-day shooting.
