Canon PowerShot SX610 HS

If you're in the market for a compact superzoom and you're on a budget, the SX600 HS is our recommendation.

A mid-sized point-and-shoot looking for its niche in the smartphone era. It's good-enough and easy to use. But it's a little bulky for what it does, the non-touch interface feels dated, and the low-light performance is terrible. Niche uses for a camera like this: * Travel / risky situations: Current...

Bought this camera for a specific mission: Pocket-fitting camera to document a special family trip. This is the fourth Canon camera I have had in this format. (Seems we buy one about every 3-5 years for the latest, greatest means to capture such trips or life events.) I was attracted to the lengthy ...

Please note this review is my initial impression of the SX610, as I have only used it briefly. Will update review in the future. The first thing I noticed is the flash is not fully automatic. When needed, an icon appears calling for flash, and you must release the spring loaded flash manually. I wou...

Just got it, so first impressions. This camera did not come with flash memory. Either it was left out or you have to buy a memory card separately. The ones you got with the cameral were always too small, anyway. It did come with one battery and a charger. I am replacing a Canon SX260HS, which I real...

I've had this camera for a year now. I would not recommend it, nor would I buy another one like it. It has focusing "issues". I was very disappointed in this camera and wish I had not spent my money on it. Because of this one, I probably will never buy another Canon camera. I previously had a Sony a...

A little disappointed with this camera.

I have owned two Elph cameras in a row.

The 610 is easy to use and has all the right features,

however picture quality up close and at a distance leave something to be desired. Shot response time is slow and often results in a blurry picture.

I have rated this...

I bought this as a gift for my daughter. She didn't take photographs with it so I can't review that part of it. But this camera does not have a full manual mode where you can choose the IOS and other settings. I am hoping to return it, but when I tried today, less than a month after Christmas, it sa...

I bought this about a month ago. Still learning about it. lots of features, some i am using already. Have not uploaded as i haven't learned yet. when i zoom in on a bird in the distance, the viewing area shakes as if the camera doesn't know how to focus.Some photos are more sharp. Frustrating to not...

Pros: Lightweight,Takes reasonably good photos.

Cons: No complete owners manual,A brief 3 pages is all you get,I had to down load a manual the very day i recieved it,It,s 139 pages,Went thru entire ink cartridge,Not happy!

Other thoughts: Enclose a proper owners manual,This booklet you give with t...
