Canon PowerShot SX170 IS reviews:

There’s no doubt that the SX170 is an easy camera to use. All the buttons are well placed and the on-screen menu tips are helpful. Settings are clearly labelled and allow users to spend minimal time fiddling with settings and maximum time shooting. You can find more on Canon SX170 review by Tech Radar website, that concludes:

For a point and shoot, the PowerShot SX170 certainly offers a fair amount for your money. The full manual shooting will definitely appeal to users who are frustrated with not being able to tweak their shooting settings, while the auto mode with its ability to select from 32 different scenes will help to put novice users at ease that whatever situation they’re shooting in, the SX170 can probably handle it.

The Canon SX170 IS handles chromatic aberration fairly well, with some purple fringing present around the edges of objects in certain high-contrast situations. Noise starts to intrude from ISO 400 in shadow areas. More about image quality you can read on Photography Blog, that concludes:

The Canon PowerShot SX170 IS’ build and performance is acceptable given its asking price, so those who have little to spend will find equally little to complain about. Though picture quality is a little so-so for our tastes, at least the camera looks good and feels good in the palm, which at this currently contracting budget end of the market actually counts for quite a lot.

The EOS 6D is one of the smallest full-frame DSLRs available on the market, and also offers a built-in wireless transmitter, an integrated GPS, an 11-point autofocus system and  an iFCL 63-zone dual layer metering sensor.

The large 20.2 MP CMOS sensor offers a high level of image quality and delivers images with a maximum resolution of 5472 x 3648 pixels with a pixel size of 6.55 µm square.

The 63-zone dual layer metering sensor works with the 11-point autofocus system and analyzes focus, color and luminance within the scene for the most precise exposure settings possible. The 63 zones cover the entire image area with great detail and the dual-layer design permits a wider sensitivity to different wave lengths of light.

The Canon EOS 6D can record Full HD video in multiple formats, including 1080/30p, 25p; 720/60p, 50p. The video recording is possible in the all I-frame or IPB compression, as well as the H.264/MPEG-4 codec.

The IXUS 140 is a stylish, well-built camera with the bonus of built-in wi-fi and GPS connectivity. You’d be hard-pushed to tell the camera apart from some of the more expensive IXUS models, that is until you take a closer look at the image quality, which is fine in bright conditions but quickly falls apart when the going get a little tougher.

Canon G15

The Canon PowerShot G15 is a new premium compact camera and it is a significant step up from its predecessor (Canon G12) with new lens, expanded high definition recording capabilities and an updated image processor. The Canon G15 is one of the few point-and-shoot cameras on the market with an optical viewfinder.

The latest model in Canon’s G-series, the new G15 has a 12.1 MP CMOS sensor, 3-inch LCD screen, DIGIC 5 image processor, RAW image capture and ISO 80 – 12800. The Canon G15 features also a front control dial, 4-stop hybrid image stabilisation system and an optional lens filter adapter.

The G15 also includes Canon’s Super Slow Motion movie mode which offers two recording speeds: 640 x 480 at 120 fps and 320 x 240 at 240 fps. Audio is recorded by built-in stereo microphones.

The 5x zoom lens of Canon G15 covers a 28-140 mm equivalent field of view with a variable aperture from f/1.8 to f/2.8. Enginered specifically for the Canon G15, this lens has optical image stabilisation that Canon claims allows hand held shots to be taken using shutter speeds for stops slower than would otherwise be possible.

Canon G15 reviews:

The G15’s video resolution has been upped to 1920 x 1080 p, which brings it in line with most other current enthusiast compact cameras. The video footage from the Canon G15 is very smooth with good detail. More details about this, you can read on dpreview.com. The author of this Canon G15 review concludes:

 The G15 is an evolutionary update from the G12, and on the whole the changes Canon has made look sensible and well-considered. The camera is clearly a well-refined product and a joy to use. It is very quick and responsive in operation, built like a tank and offers the most external controls in its class. Combine that with the fast 28-140mm F1.8-2.8 lens and you’ve got yourself an ultra-versatile pocketable tool that can be operated almost like a DSLR and earns itself our highest award.

The Canon G15 has a pretty standard macro range for the enthusiast compact class. The distances stay pretty low through most of the focal range until you get to around 4.5x, at which point the minimum distance jumps to 35 cm. More about this you can read on Canon G15 review from dcresource.com website.

The Canon G15 produces images of excellent quality. It records noise-free JPEG images at ISO 80 – 800 with some noise and slight colour desaturation at ISO 1600. The Canon G15 handled chromatic aberration well. More details about G15’s image quality you can read on Canon G15 review from photographyblog.com. The experts of this website conclude:

 The Canon G15 offers enough new bells and whistles to make it a worthwhile upgrade from the previous model and keep it competitive with its main rivals, most notably the very similar Nikon Coolpix P7700.

While the Canon G15 is very much a G-series camera in appearance, evolutionary changes and those made as a result of revised functionality do mean that it results quite differntly from the G12 before it. These things are mentioned by the experts of whatdigitalcamera.com website.

The  G15’s crowded mode dial has options for everyone’s personal tastes, from traditional modes to full Automatic. More about controls and shooting modes of Canon G15 you can read on digitalcamerainfo.com website.
