Canon SX30 - any thoughts?

Postby Reschsmooth on Mon Sep 19, 2011 1:38 pm

Folks, a mate of mine is going o/s and saw this camera at duty free and wanted some thoughts. I have none and wondered if anyone here has any? cheers PS: I have steered him towards the G12 which appears to be at a similar price point.
Regards, Patrick

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

Once a compact, always a compact. This camera was quite a standout in the superzoom category until the competition caught up. Not a bad camera but dont expect the same image quality as the G12.

Patrick,

This might be a useful review

Time to first shot is 2.3 seconds!! It's probably that whopping zoom lens moving into position. :roll:

All of these were taken with SX 30, it is very good, compact, a very large
zoom and easy to carry. It might not be to everybody's taste, but is it is
for me and my pocket.
