Canon's PowerShot SX70 High Sensitivity Digital Camera is a great entry-level point-and-shoot camera. One big issue, however, is that the lens can impact the camera's ability to operate well in low light conditions since the lens at wide and telephoto settings can contribute to some noise and grainy effects. That being said, patience with the exposure settings of the camera may help to calm some of the noise down. The PowerShot SX70 features a zoom lens that is great for capturing fast-moving subjects like birds flying in the air. It even has macro capabilities, making it possible to get detailed close-up shots of subjects or objects. Novice photographers will appreciate the easy to understand menu system, along with the long-lasting battery life. The wide and long zoom capabilities will help Canon users capture any landscape or subject they wish to, regardless of how far or close it may be.
The Canon PowerShot SX70 High Sensitivity Digital Camera features image stabilization to reduce camera shake, even when the camera is fully zoomed. This stabilization feature negates the need to bring a tripod with you, which makes the PowerShot SX70 great for traveling and a full day of shooting since it can be used handheld. The zoom feature works very smoothly, and is fairly quiet while recording videos, although some background noise may be picked up on occasion. Built-in Wi-Fi capabilities allow users to transfer photos directly to their smartphone as well as use their smartphone as a remote control for the camera through the Canon app. Entry-level photographers and professionals alike will enjoy the Canon PowerShot SX70 High Sensitivity Digital Camera.
