Canon PowerShot SX170 IS prices and specs
The Canon PowerShot SX170 IS was released on Aug 22, 2013. For today the cheapest price for the device is 269.99
The Canon PowerShot SX170 IS belongs to the category of point and shoot cameras. Its main benefit is a very small size: the photographer can even put it in the pocket. The PowerShot SX170 IS has various automatic modes but you won't capture photographs of the same perfect quality in comparison to large sensor compact cameras.
The camera can shoot photos at 16 megapixels max resolution. But if you want to get better picture quality the more important specification is a sensor size. This camera has a 1/2.3' (6.17 x 4.55 mm) sensor which means that the camera will produce photos with not so high quality as cameras with larger sensors but instead it has another advantage - the PowerShot SX170 IS is small. And if you want to take photos of the best quality pay attention to Canon EOS 5D Mark IV.
The PowerShot SX170 IS has max shutter speed of 1/3200 sec. It is an average shutter speed which will be enough for making action photos of a satisfactory quality. The owner of the PowerShot SX170 IS will be able to capture HD videos that guarantees a good image quality.
The lens is fixed and the camera owner can't change it. The lens provides great 16x optical zoom.
The Canon PowerShot SX170 IS battery life will be enough to capture approximately 300 photos.
