Canon SX240 HS

Canon SX240 HS - 20x optical zoom
Canon SX240 HS - pop-up flash

I use the Canon SX240 HS as my portable camera. It is particularly handy for situations where a DSLR couldn’t get past security. It also fits in my pocket, so I’m more likely to have it with me.

The 20x IS zoom lens performs really well. The IS feature doesn’t just help with handheld zoomed shots; it also helps with handheld low-light shots.

The camera controls make it easy to change the settings. I usually shoot in aperture mode, and I can easily set the exposure compensation and aperture with a few quick clicks and turns of the dial.

The one thing I don’t like about the camera is the location of the pop-up flash. The flash pops up from where I normally place my left index finger. While there is more than enough space for my finger behind the flash, I quite often find my finger blocking the flash from popping up.

Before you say anything, I have since cleaned the dusts off the camera. The close up shots really show those dust specks.
