- The megazoom 18x optical zoom provides impressive reach for such a small package.

CONS
- Image quality suffers at ISO 800 and beyond, and even at normal light sensitivity, images are not quite as sharp as on the earlier version of this camera.

The Canon PowerShot SX610 HS is an affordable compact camera with a long 18x zoom lens. It's loaded with features, including Wi-Fi and Canon's fun Creative Shot mode, but its 20-megapixel image sensor does more to detract from image quality than it does to add to it.

The Canon Powershot SX610 HS is a digital camera to showcase miniaturization. It squeezes an impressive and highly versatile 18X wide-angle optical zoom in an ultra-compact body paired with a class-leading 20 megapixels CMOS sensor. This achievement though comes at the cost of light gather ability from the lens with its dim F/3.8-6.9 maximum aperture and from the 1/2.3" sensor with incredibly small pixels.
