Going back to the Canon Powershot and that the company has recently presented to the public by focusing our attention on the Powershot SX230 HS, “older sister” of the PowerShot SX220 HS which we have already spoken in recent days as tracing and look great part of the technical characteristics.

Most significant feature of the new machine is the presence of GPS, which allows the photographer to make the geo-tagging of photos, or enter the geographic coordinates and exact time of occurrence shooting. The function also Logger also logs all movements of the photographer, allowing, thanks to the included software, to create a photographic travelogue.

As for the purely technical features, the SX230 is equipped with the HS 12.1 megapixel CCD sensor with both HS System, which provides superb images even in low light conditions. In support are the Digic 4 image processor and goal wide-angle 14x optical zoom (equivalent to 28 to 493 mm in the traditional format).In view of the zoom range, Canon has seen fit to add the optical image stabilizer to compensate for the micro-mechanical hand while shooting.

So dear to traditional automatic functions are added for beginners also manual controls for more experienced photographers.

Not just photos, the new PowerShot records video in Full HD also with stereo sound. Photos and video are recorded using the large 3.0-inch LCD display located on the back. Of note, finally, the possibility of buying a marine case for underwater camera use. Available from next month at a price not yet announced.
