Canon Powershot SX700HS review

Offering a 30x optical zoom in a pocketable package, the SX700HS might just be the perfect compact for travellers

30x optical zoom Wi-Fi / NFC Manual control

No touchscreen Can't change AF point Limited control over creative modes

A brilliant camera for holidaying and traveling photographers, while full manual control make it a good choice as a backup compact for DSLR owners.

Canon PowerShot SX700 HS review

As the compact camera market continues to shrink, the outlay of new product seems to be surfing a common theme: zoom is increasing in a war waged with fixed-lens smartphone cameras. The Canon PowerShot SX700 HS - the update to the earlier SX280 HS...

Point and shoot ease or full manual control, close-up macro mode, good image stabilisation, decent image quality

Limited autofocus options, no raw capture, 30x zoom limitations at longer extension, no touchscreen, more basic than Panasonic TZ60

With a launch price of £329 the Canon PowerShot SX700 HS might not be a budget buy, but it cleverly undercuts the main competition from Panasonic and Sony by enough to make us stand up and pay attention. It not-so-cleverly also sits behind them by...

When it comes to travel zooms - cameras pocketable in size but with a significant zoom lens squeezed into their designs - there are lots of options out

A solid all-rounder, but we'll stick with last year's model for now

Canon PowerShot SX700 HS is overflowing with features

Though it follows in the path of SX-series models before it, the SX700 HS is almost entirely new and, for the most part, that's a good thing.

Along with its 30x zoom lens, the Canon PowerShot SX700 HS has fun and useful shooting options; built-in Wi-Fi with NFC; a high-resolution LCD; and excellent shooting performance and daylight photo and video quality.

Its low-light (high-ISO) photos could be better and while its battery life is noticeably better than that of its predecessor, you'll still want to keep an extra battery handy for all-day shooting. Canon could have done more with the camera's NFC.

If you're looking for more than just a simple snapshot experience from a compact zoom camera, the Canon PowerShot SX700 HS should be on your short list, despite a couple shortcomings.

Canon PowerShot SX700 HS gets you closer with 30x zoom

The camera maker's top compact megazoom gets a new lens, NFC, and full HD movie capture at 60p.

Canon PowerShot SX700 HS

Easily pack 30x worth of optical zoom in your pocket

30x optical zoom ; Relatively easy to make manual adjustments ; Good overall image quality

Mode dial location a little awkward ; Some noticeable chromatic aberration ; Wi-Fi feature not great

Canon's PowerShot SX700 HS is a powerful little camera that can be used in a whole heap situations, from regular landscapes to long tele-zooms. It's a fun camera to use and well worth considering, especially if you want a camera for your travels.

Canon sticks to the tried-and-true formula of more megapixels and more zoom for the PowerShot SX700 HS.

If you're looking for more than just a simple snapshot experience from a compact zoom camera, the Canon PowerShot SX700 HS should be on your short list, despite a couple shortcomings.
