Canon PowerShot SX240 HS prices and specs
The PowerShot SX240 HS was released on Feb 7, 2012. For now the lowest price for the device is 129.95
The PowerShot SX240 HS belongs to the category of point and shoot cameras. Its main benefit is a very small size: the photographer can take it anywhere with himself easily. The PowerShot SX240 HS is equipped with various automatic modes but you won't make pictures of the same high quality in comparison to large sensor compact cameras.
The device can shoot photos at 12 megapixels highest resolution. But if you want to get better picture quality the more important thing is a sensor size. This model has a 1/2.3' (6.17 x 4.55 mm) sensor which means that the PowerShot SX240 HS will shoot photos with not so high quality as cameras with bigger sensors but instead it has another advantage - the PowerShot SX240 HS has portable size. But if you want to make photos of the professional quality check Nikon D810.
The PowerShot SX240 HS has max shutter speed of 1/3200 sec. It is an average shutter speed which will be enough for shooting action photos of a satisfactory quality. The PowerShot SX240 HS records perfect videos in Full HD resolution.
The lens is built into the device and you won't be able to switch it. The lens has amazing 20x optical zoom.
The PowerShot SX240 HS battery life will be enough to take up to 230 photos.
