    The Canon PowerShot SX210 IS is the high-end option in Canon's 'Point and Shoot Plus' range, which also includes cameras such as last year's compact digital camera. It's aimed at users who demand a heck of a lot from a point-and-shoot camera; you get advanced features such a 14.1-megapixel CCD sensor, a 14x zoom lens, and the pocket dynamo even gives you the option to use manual settings.

    • 14x zoom lens, f/3.1 aperture, manual settings, good depth of field
    • Lots of design quirks with menu controls, soft images, loss of image definition when you heavily crop the images

    A year after releasing the PowerShot SX200 IS, Canon has upped the ante with the SX210 IS. Resolution is boosted to 14 megapixels and the zoom lens range is extended from 12x to 14x, but kept its 28mm equivalent wide angle of view. The new camera is offered in black or purple. Aside a few minor cosmetic changes and relocation of some controls, not much else has changed. Read more

    The compact super-zoom market has, seemingly, stagnated over recent years. With the inclusion of feature such as GPS taking the focus away from what should be the main agenda, image quality, improvements in this area have been few and far between, with new iterations in many company lines treading water.

    I just got it today, and its a pretty good camera. The LCD screen is a bit of a let down, its not as clear and sharp. Also, when I took some test shot images, the colour yellow appears to be more saturated than what it actually is. Other than that, the quality of the images are spectacular, and quite detailed.
