Nook Vs Kindle Video
The 12 megapixel Canon PowerShot SX200 IS is one of the most recent Canon and compact cameras. It combines a compact design with a 12x – 28-336mm zoom optical. It features a high resolution 3.0 inch LCD. You can also record HD video at 1280 x 720 pixels.
Starting this month, according to DigitalCameraReview.com, the PowerShot SX200 IS Canon tops the list as the # 1 most popular camera in its class. This camera was not even in the 10 before taking the first place. A surprising jump, do not you think? Why?
I think it's because of the versatility of the camera. When I go shopping for the camera I am attracted by a number of characteristics:
- How many megapixels.
- Digital zoom (I personally am not going to buy a 3x or 4x zoom camera).
- The image quality when printing photos.
- What kind of feedback is the camera to get – Not just professional reviewers, but also people who have already bought the camera.
- Features camera control – How I have control over the image I am taking – do I get to control what I'm doing or not doing the camera.
- And now, the video capability.
With this new input, Canon has fulfilled all my expectations. For example:
- 12.1 megapixels is huge – you can print wall size print.
- 12x zoom is, in my opinion, excellent when compared to most cameras in the same category.
- The image quality is allegedly very good.
- Reviews have been good, so this camera has jumped to the top of the list of popularity.
- The functions control are unsurpassed compared to other cameras in this category. Even professionals are taking over this small camera as carry any spare part.
Well, now we come to Video, which is why this article. The Canon PowerShot SX200 IS has some fantastic video capabilities. Check this out:
My daughter-in-law uses his Sony point and shoot camera all the time for children's videos – shot time is approximately 30 seconds. The SX200 is capable of a total of 30 minutes (which is minutes, seconds) video.
Add to that the ability to take HD video at 1280 x 720 pixels. The resolution to get fantastic quality results that can be displayed on an HDTV. The camera comes with a mini-HDMI connector for direct connection to a monitor high definition so watch the video without loss of image quality or audio output.
So get a great quality and capture times long, with 12x zoom. I should mention that there is no stereo sound capability in a video recording, but the other options, including a digital zoom help make This very nice option for those who want to carry a single camera for both types of video recording.
As you can guess, I'm a fan of the PowerShot SX200. It's a good step forward for Canon in the personal point and shoot camera category.
