Most people love small digital cameras simply due to the fact that they are easier to carry around. However, one thing they fail to realise is the fact that they would have to sacrifice capturing the kind of quality pictures often associated with professional cameramen who use their large-size cameras.
The reason being that bulky professional digital cameras are designed with a large number of features to enable them capture the high quality pictures and videos you end up with or see. Most of this features are quite hard to stuff into small digital cameras from the design point of view.
That being said, Canon — one of the big players in digital cameras — has succeeded in bridging this gap — i.e. the gap between quality and size by its latest offer. They did so by introducing the now popular Canon PowerShot SX20IS 12 1MP Digital Camera a few months from the time this article was written. This particular camera is an upgraded version of its predecessor, the Canon Powershot SX10IS model, another best selling digital camera during its time.
One of the most loved features of the camera is its ultra-powerful zoom. It comes equipped with a 28-50mm wide-angle lens that has 20x Optical Zoom and a focal length of 5.0-100mm. This amazing feature allows you to capture any image or video from just about any angle.
That feature is complimented by the fact that it comes with a 12.1MP megapixels image sensor and uses DIGIC 4 processor to produce excellent high definition (HD) videos. This 2.1 mp of resolution enables you to edit any one of your shots with ease while still ending up with a high quality image. In other words, you can make your images large or small without sacrificing its crispness and clarity even if you print the photos.
As you may have experienced, most cameras produce fuzzy and blurred pictures if moved while in the process of capturing images. The Canon Powershot SX20IS 12.1MP Digital Camera is one of the few cameras in the market to have a mechanism to prevent this happening. It is able to do this with Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer Technology. This technology automatically detects and rectifies the problems caused by the unsteadiness.
With the Powershot SX20IS, you do not need be nervous while taking photos or filming as, even without the flash, you will get crisp and excellent pictures — just like the ones associated with professional photographers. The camera also boasts of several other excellent features that characterize the high end professional cameras.
