Previously, I had several PowerShot models, between also 3 different Ixus but now it was time to try a superzoom.
Sony, Lumix etc. I also already tried, would like nothing negative or a positive turn out, here it's all about the SX240HS for which I have fortunately decided.
In addition, I find it does not compare correctly a 7 x zoom with a 20x zoom, but since everyone must think over it as he likes.
Especially on holiday in Brittany or the French Alps is a strong push very beneficial and still images in sharpness at full telephoto 90mm, gee!
Just as this model shows its strength, no matter what I anpeile, if the weather is not rainy or hazy, there are just all pictures ensures sharp images. Only at 39-times (some digital) zoom images are somewhat "stepped".
The other features such as auto smile detection with Timer, Blink Detection with Timer and use this in conjunction as SELF TIMER to can is an ingenious invention. Just face focus, comfortable with going in's image, blink or smile and the camera takes pictures in self-determined number.
Color shots, amazing! I go get the color of the coffee machine on display's and only this is displayed in color, the rest are black and white. How cool is that?
Or portraits with soft skin, as in a magazine! In times of HD times without pimples!
Night scenes or indoor shots without using the flash: That thing just makes more photos and adds them into a single composite so once again created a brilliant picture.
The constant focus or focus tracking (which of course goes to the battery) make at close range and the telephoto always immediately sharpest images. When you see just start a seagull on a rock at 200 meters distance, focus, abkruemmen and enjoy very nice pictures with up to 10 pieces in HD certainly easy fast. Absolute madness, precisely.
, Taking advantage of high-speed video recordings at slow and generally full HD video recording the full zoom to be able without loss of quality, which must be a time to look at our 47 "Philips, like Discovery HD.
One notices certainly at the few specific points, which take me particularly to be fun images, the enthusiasm for this camera at the price is unrestrained.
From power-on to first image in automatic mode not even goes one second that should be enough.
The Canon Pixma MG5250 print with my on photo paper are shown absolutely natural.
Even though I have previously flirted with a SLR, then this little thing but leaves much better grab the belt buckle and take on all biking.
No matter what I knipse whether in 4: 3, 3: 2 or 16: 9 (ONLY ;-) up to 9 megapixels), in the program, auto, Live, Soft Focus, Miniature Effect, Fish-Eye motif or discrete mode to avoid lightning and noises to sleeping babies not to scare (or your wife): if you set the camera functions properly and really with the manual dealing Sinvolles to be separated from nonsense to do with this part of a bad picture is almost impossible!
I can only recommend this camera, still recommend a 16GB SDHC (for HD video) and a spare battery for 9.90.
Thank you Canon, for once again a unique product ;-)
