One good PowerShot deserves another…
Regular visitors to the reviews on the Wex Photographic site may be familiar with my continent-hopping adventures with the Canon PowerShot SX200 IS so it goes without saying that I was delighted to be given chance to play with its successor, the Canon PowerShot SX210 IS.
Designed to be versatile and capable in every respect, the SX210 boasts a 14.1MP sensor and an effective focal length of 28-392mm thanks to its excellent 14x optical zoom lens. In a superficial aesthetic change from its predecessor, the top corners of the new PowerShot have been smoothed for a sleek look, while the LCD screen has been expanded to 3" with the control dial and buttons slightly more cramped as a result. The control wheel has also moved from the top of the camera to the back, which has the potential to be annoying if your thumb slips and changes the shooting mode, but this never happened to me and science has yet to discover a clumsier sentient being. My only niggles in terms of appearance are the small, and consequently slightly awkward, zoom key and the fact that the gold model I've been using looks like C-3PO's belly button.
