I've been living a dual existence: Sometimes I'm a professional photographer, other times I'm an avid amateur videographer. To satisfy these two demands, I have a Canon PowerShot G7 that takes perfectly good photographs but only fair video. Then I also have a Canon Vixia HF11 HD camcorder that... Read full review »

Canon SX230 marginal benefits for $

byceztom2 Jul 25, 2011
17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Bigger, heavier than SD790, due to zoom probably, but will fit in pocket
Cons Auto exposure, dynamic range, battery life, ergonomics, screen size, touchy playback dial
Recommended it? No

Cons Slow GPS signal, Bad battery life

I bought this Canon SX230 HS to replace an older powershot camera. I got it for 2 main reasons. I wanted to use it in situations where I did not have my DSLR, and also wanted to take advantage of the build in GPS so I could geo-tag my photos. The Canon SX230HS takes some great photos, particularly... Read full review »
