Pros and Cons of the Canon Powershot SX130IS Camera

Looking for a good camera deal? Probably you want a more creative approach to your shots and want to find a camera that will bring out the best out of your still images at a reasonable price. You might want to consider CANON POWERSHOT SX130IS as your image catcher, having 12 megapixel sensors that will capture a crisp clear shot of your object for only 250$. But right before you rush in your nearest Canon shop, let us check first its pros and cons to give you an educated decision buying this baby.


Let us first consider some its pitfalls or its cons. You probably might have heard about it, and yes it is true, this SX130IS uses two double A batteries, which is not really common these days for a new modeled camera. It also has a not-so-good battery life which only last for less than an hour of continuous still image and video shooting. When it comes to performance, its shutter lag stretching time is quite slow, and its shot-to-shot time has an interval of 3 seconds each. Its 3-inch LCD display has only 230,000 dots of display, which is less preferable for a high definition preview of the shots. And its low light setting is a bit noisy. Indeed, if you are looking for a camera that will suit your adventurous adrenalin for shooting, this camera should be least considered.


Let us then consider its cool features or its pros. Canon Powershot SX130IS, as mentioned earlier, has a 12 megapixel image quality with 12 times optical zoom. You can actually use this as a mini telescope. It also has a pop-up flash with a wide 3-inch LCD display at the back. It has a bunch of Canon’s scene modes, new super vivid feature, poster mode, color accent, and all of the fun consumer modes. It also has a full manual mode with shutter speed that goes down to 15 seconds and an ISO that goes up to 1,600. Because of that, its video quality is really good with 720 p high definition shots. It records .mov file, which is a good equivalent of .mp4 with a data port of SD or SD 8 C memory card. If you are looking for quality than quantity of shots, then this baby is highly recommended.
