Canon SX30IS 14.1MP Digital Camera Review:

The more than two hundred customers who tested this camera gave it an average rating of 4.2 stars. They appreciated it greatly for its being a great value for money, for the quality of pictures it produced, for its overall product quality, and especially its image stabilization capability.

The users admitted that the camera seemed to have more pros than cons. One of them appreciated the good color balance and the good quality of the images on the overall: they were reportedly brighter and more intricate in detail. One reviewer even described it as the best digital camera he had ever found with a superzoom. Another user felt that this camera was very worth the time he waited for it, as he found it to have an excellent image stabilization feature despite his very shaky hands. One of the reviewers was a wildlife photographer, and he felt this camera was very much up to the task. One of the buyers even commented that he was surprised that anybody even had anything bad to say about this camera.

So far, one user felt that the auto setting was not that well-designed, as it seemed to have trouble picking the right part of the photo as the focus. As such, he warned buyers to refrain from using that mode.

With that in mind, we believe you will find this camera to be an excellent buy. With all its features and capabilities, you will find it to be a very valuable companion for all your photograph shooting and movie recording endeavors, and for a very reasonable price, too! You cannot go wrong with this camera!
