The Canon SX20is digital camera has one very, very important feature that in my own opinion makes the Canon SX20is a best selling digital camera and beats a lot of other digital cameras on the market today:
This one feature (actually there’s another but we’ll get to that in a moment) makes this the best and one of the cheaper digital cameras that are perfect for travelling this summer. With the Canon SX20is you can carry only one camera with you yet still make great photos and use the flexibility that only a 20x zoom lens can offer.
With a 20x zoom lens you can shoot, wide angle photos such a landscape photographs or maybe you need a wide angle lens to take with you to a family reunion this summer and make a great group photo of your entire family. Whatever the reason for your need for a wide angle lens, the Canon SX20is has you covered with a wide angle of up to 28mm equivalent when considered to the standard full frame, or FX standard. 28mm is not considered an ultrawide lens but 28mm will still give you a great field of view that is much much wider than what the human eye sees.
Now, on the long end of the spectrum - how about when you need to shoot far away with the Canon SX20is. The lens zooms out to a whopping 560mm zoom ratio. What this does is gets you close to the action when you can’t. One example might be for photographing boats on the bay or when you need to shoot sports such as your kid’s soccer game or summer camp activities.
Of course the SX20is is a fully image stabilized lens too (thus the ‘is’ in the camera’s name) and this offers bright and clear photos that you can’t get normally or when you don’t have a tripod. With the IS feature activated camera shake becomes a thing of the past with the Canon SX20is digital camera
The other feature that I think makes the Canon SX2ois a great travel camera is the fact that the the Canon SX20is runs on plain old AA batteries which are available pretty much anywhere, or if you prefer you can toss a few AA’s into your bag and rest assured you’ll have enough power for your travels. This is much easier than having to find worry about different voltages and converters when travelling abroad. And of course, there’ no charger to pack either which is another great bonus with the Canon SX20is’
The Canon SX20is also offers enough megapixels at 12.1 megapixels, which is more than enough resolution for high end and big size prints.
High Definition Recording at 720ps with sound that’s in stereo too means you can use the SX20 and the flexibility of the big zoom lens to make great looking HD movies that you can share with friends and family later using the HDMI connector which allows you to hook the camera up to your TV for larger than life viewing of your favorite movies.
Smart Auto is the last thing I want to talk about, because if you’re like me you don’t want to have to do any thinking when shooting on holidays. You just want a feature rich point and shoot with a nice big zoom ratio that is fast and can handle whatever you might find. The SX20is has you covered – use the Smart Auto feature and the camera will take care of the settings, allowing you to concentrate on much more important things such as your drink with the umbrella in it.
