The Canon Powershot
SX210 IS is the successor to the PowerShot SX200 IS from 2009. Canon designed
the SX210 IS to appeal to those who are looking for a sleek compact camera
that offers long range zoom capabilities, combined with a slew of features
and point-and-shoot simplicity.
With features
such as a 14x optical zoom lens with built-in optical image stabilizer
(IS), advanced face detection technology, DIGIC 4 image processor, and
a large wide angle 3.0-inch LCD, this compact super-zoom is geared towards
the family or travel photographer.
We have now
had the opportunity to review the Canon PowerShot SX210 IS. To see how
the camera performed, check out our Canon SX210 IS sample image gallery,
along with the findings and conclusions from our review. We begin by providing
a general overview of the SX210 IS, and then present more of the details.
You can use the navigation menu below to jump to a specific section of
the review.
Canon
PowerShot SX210 IS Digital Camera Review Menu
The PowerShot
SX210 IS incorporates a powerful 14x optical zoom lens with built-in Optical
Image Stabilization (IS) technology, which offers photographer's the ability
to capture images with extra versatility, while minimizing image blur.
The camera's image stabilizer system uses sophisticated gyroscopic sensors
to detect vertical and horizontal movements, then moves the lens accordingly
to compensate, which aids in maintaining stability and focus when using
the telephoto capabilities of the camera.
The Canon SX210
IS incorporates a 14 Megapixel sensor with Canon’s DIGIC 4 processor
– delivering fast response times and natural colour reproduction.
DIGIC 4 also takes care of difficult lighting conditions with i-Contrast
– a technology which prevents highlight blowout, whilst retaining
shadow detail.
For carefree shooting
the PowerShot SX210 IS includes Smart Auto and Easy modes with Scene Detection
Technology. By analyzing people, distance, brightness and colour in the
scene, the camera automatically selects one of 22 scene variables to optimize
settings for the best results - freeing the user to concentrate on picture
taking, while the camera takes care of the technical details.
The camera can also
shoot HD 720P movies with stereo sound, so users can film action as well
as shooting beautiful stills. Framing and reviewing shots is simple too,
thanks to a large wide angle 3.0 inch high resolution 230K LCD with 5
levels of brightness adjustment.
Canon SX210
IS with Detailed Information Display in Playback Mode (Actual LCD Image)
Although
the Canon SX210 IS incorporates a 16:9 wide format LCD screen, the camera
captures images in a 4:3 aspect ratio. This means that you can view
the camera's menus or movies in wide screen, however when shooting still
pictures and during playback, images are displayed within the center
of the LCD panel, with black areas on either side.

Aspect Ratio Display for Still Images
The PowerShot SX210
IS also comes with the latest Face Detection Technology which recognizes
up to 35 faces in a scene and automatically adjusts key focus and exposure
settings to ensure everyone looks their best.
This technology includes
Auto Red-Eye Correction, Face Detection AF/AE/FE, and Face Self-Timer
– a feature that is great for group shots and self-portraits as the
camera waits until it detects a new face in the frame before taking the
shot. The Canon SX210 IS also offers Smile and Wink Self-Timer settings
were the shutter is activated after a person smiles or winks.
Faces can also be detected
if they are at an angle to the camera so that the correct focus and exposure
can be achieved without subjects facing the camera directly.
Face Select & Track
also allows the user to select a particular face to be the main subject
of the photo. This person is then tracked as they move around the frame
– making sure the chosen face is the favoured subject and captured
properly - ideal for shooting the important people in a crowded scene.
More experienced users
can choose their settings with additional shooting modes such as Aperture
Priority and Shutter Priority. A full manual control mode is also provided
– intended for users who wish to experiment with their shots.

The
Canon PowerShot SX210 IS features an Auto pop-up flash that
can also be raised manually. The flash will fire when required
(Auto), or you can select to turn it off.
Since
the
flash raises even
if it is not required when
the camera is turned on, we
found you have to be careful that you do not follow the natural
action of placing your fingers over the top of the camera
(on the flash side) when
holding the Canon Powershot SX210 IS with both hands. This
makes the SX210 IS a little bit more awkward to hold. You
can push the flash down again, making for a more comfortable
and steadier grip when flash is not needed.
The
available flash features on the SX210 IS are included further
below.
Canon
PowerShot SX210IS Camera: Design, Features and Menus
The Canon PowerShot
SX210 IS offers a compact design with a range of features. With 14-megapixel
resolution and a 14x zoom lens (28-392mm equivalent in 35mm terms), the
camera is a versatile unit for general family and travel photography.
For
sweeping landscapes or larger group shots of people, the Canon SX210 IS
provides good wide angle coverage starting at 28mm. Some competitor models
do offer a slightly wider zoom range starting at 25mm although none combine
this with the extended telephoto range offered by the Canon SX210 IS.
At full optical zoom the Canon SX210 IS provides the approximate equivalent
field of view of a 400mm lens, an impressive accomplishment.
To get
the same telephoto range with a digital SLR camera, a user would have
to invest fairly heavily and carry at least two lenses to get the same
focal range covered by the compact SX210 IS.
The zoom lever
on the Canon Powershot SX210 IS is found on the top of the camera
to the left of the shutter release button.
To compose the
shot, simply toggle the zoom lever to the right in order to zoom
in on the subject. Moving the lever to the left zooms out from the
subject providing a wider field of view. The camera also features
a 4x digital zoom (combined approximately 56x magnification).
The main control dial
found on the top back of the PowerShot SX210 IS allows you select the
desired shooting mode. The camera offers the convenience of a basic 'green'
Auto mode for care free picture taking, and a total of 22 shooting modes.
The Canon SX210 IS also
offers the versatility of full Manual (M), Shutter (TV) and Aperture (Av)
priority exposure modes for those that want the added creative control.
The shutter speed range can be controlled from 15 - 1/3200 sec (total
range - varies by shooting mode)
The shooting mode settings
found on the main control dial of the PowerShot SX210 IS include:
• Auto
'Green'
Mode: In the default
green Auto mode, the camera focuses on the subject it judges to be the
main subject and then selects the optimum settings for subject brightness
and colour.
The camera intelligently
analyzes the situation and shooting conditions, and then automatically
selects an appropriate setting from 22 specially defined settings.
With the camera's face
detection technology, when faces are detected, a white frame appears on
the face of the main subject, while gray frames appear on other detected
faces. Even if the detected faces move, the camera will follow the faces
within a certain range. The frame locked on the main subject turns green
once focus is achieved.
• Easy
Auto Mode: Operational
instructions appear on the LCD screen, and only the necessary buttons
are functional. This prevents incorrect operation of the camera, allowing
even beginners to take worry-free pictures.
• Scene
Modes: Six of the settings on the Shooting mode dial are dedicated
to using the SX210's program Scene modes for user friendly operation.
When you choose a shooting mode that matches a particular set of conditions,
the camera will automatically select any necessary settings. So whether
you're photographing flowers, a captivating sunset, or your friends at
the park just compose and press the shutter release to take the picture.
Five of the more commonly
used Scene modes,
including; Portrait, Landscape, Night Snapshot, Kids&Pets, and Indoor,
are accessible directly on the shooting dial, while the other Scenes are
accessed by first selecting the 'Scene' setting, and then choosing from
options displayed on the camera's LCD monitor.
Available selections
include, Low Light (up to 6400 ISO is automatically selected and the image
size is reduced to 2144 x 1608, approximately 3.5 MP), Beach Scene, Foliage,
Snow, Fireworks, Smart Shutter (used to activate Smile, Wink or Face Self
Timer functions), Colour Accent, Colour Swap, Fish Eye Effect and Miniture
Effect.
• Movie
Modes: The Canon PowerShot SX210 IS does offer the ability
to shoot HD quality movies in 720P 1280 x 720 at 30fps. You can record
movie clips up to 4GB in size or 30 min in length. Two lower resolution
movie modes are also available allowing for recording times up to 1 hour,
including (L) 640 x 480 at 30fps and (M)320 x 240 at 30fps.
When shooting movies
at wide-angle settings, the PowerShot SX210 IS uses an advanced Dynamic
mode image stabilization system to greatly reduce camera shake that can
occur when you are shooting while walking. Your HD movies play back steadily
and without jerky movement.
+/-2 stop exposure compensation
in 1/3 step increments is available to darken or brighten the movie depending
on lighting conditions.
• Manual
Settings : In the Program (P), Manual (M), Aperture (Av) and
Shutter Priority (TV) shooting modes you can control the combination of
shutter speed and aperture used by the camera.

The Canon
PowerShot SX210 IS runs on a proprietary NB-5L Lithium Ion rechargeable
battery which comes supplied with the camera. The NB-5L battery will
allow for approximately 260 shots per charge.
The SX210
IS also comes supplied with a Canon CB-2LX battery charger. The charger
incorporates a direct plug in wall jack so there is no extra cord to
carry around like with some other camera models.
The SX210 IS uses Secure
Digital (SD) type memory cards. The camera does not come supplied with
a memory card which is now common to most digital cameras. The good
news is that memory cards are relatively inexpensive in today's market.
We would recommend a 2GB SD card as a minimum, and a 4GB card
would provide enough space for lots of images and movies as well.
(Approximately
500 Large 14MP still images = 2GB space)
The connections
for the Canon PowerShot SX210 IS are found behind a hinged rubber
door near the top on the right side of the camera.
Both a USB interface
cable (IFC-400PCU) and an Audio / Video connection cable (AVC-DC400ST)
come supplied with the camera. The camera also features an HDMI
connection and with the optional HDMI cable HTC-100 you connect
the camera to a high definition TV for an enhanced viewing experience.
An optional
AC adapter (ACK-DC30) is available for the SX210 IS, and the camera's
AC connector socket is found right above the USB / AV connection.

PowerShot SX210 IS Review: Performance and Conclusion
We were
quite pleased with the performance of the Canon PowerShot SX210 IS. The
camera powers up responsively, and the comfortably positioned zoom lever
makes framing images a simple step.
In terms
of capture speed, we were able to record a series of three images in a
five second burst of shooting with the camera set to continuous advance
mode, which falls within the stated SX210 IS specifications of 0.7 frames
per second (fps).
The 14x
IS zoom lens incorporated into the SX210 IS provides generally good image
quality capabilities. See the image samples further below. Edge to edge
image detail is quite good although some corner softness can also be noticed.
Viewed
at full resolution the images look a little softer than some competitors
we have seen in this class. If you are not regularly printing larger than
8" x 10" prints, the lens quality from the Canon PowerShot SX210
IS should still be very acceptable to most users. We did observe some
barrel distortion (curvature) when shooting close-up's at wide angle,
although once again this is fairly common with cameras in this category.
The
optical image stabilizer lens technology did a good job during our tests,
offering up to 3 steps compensation, allowing us to hand hold the camera
under lower light conditions and get blur free images were normally a
tripod would have been required.
One of
the few disappointments with the Canon SX210 IS is the positioning of
the flash and that it auto pops up when the camera is turned on. As mentioned
when the flash is raised it is harder to hold the camera comfortably with
both hands.
The large
3.0-inch 230,000 dot resolution LCD monitor offers easy composition and
playback capabilities. The cameras menu system is easy to read and navigate
on the screen, and colours are well displayed. The brightness of the monitor
can be adjusted in 5 steps depending on viewing conditions.
Overall
we found the Canon PowerShot SX210 IS performed competently for its class.
The 14 megapixel sensor combined with the camera's metering system offers
good image quality from 80 to 200 ISO, with digital noise (grain like
effect) becoming more noticeable from there on.
The PowerShot
SX210 IS 'Low Light' scene mode is a useful feature which results in less
loss in image quality when shooting at higher ISO levels, although at
the expense of resolution (recorded at 3.5 MP image size).
The camera
does experience approximately 0.6 sec shutter lag (the time from when
you press the shutter button to the time the camera takes the picture),
so a little forethought and anticipation is required to capture the exact
movement.
If you
are looking for a sleek compact long-range zoom camera, offering solid
performance and an extended feature set, while delivering pleasing images
under most general conditions, we would recommend the Canon PowerShot
SX210 IS as a good solution. See
