  • While it's true that we don't have a wide range of similar models that output RAW files in our database with which to make comparisons, the sensor in the Canon PowerShot SX60 HS has no real shortcomings other than perhaps the inherently low noise levels o...

  • Google is holding a competition that could see your Pixel photos gracing millions of screens. Nikon's 100th birthday party continues worldwide as a distributor in Italy organized a one-of-a-kind feat: assembling the world's largest 'human camera' from ov...

  • Top-notch build quality, Excellent ergonomics, Blazing fast autofocus, Great Canon color, Long-lasting battery life
  • Average video and image quality, Screen collects smudges and is difficult to clean, 4K video is slightly cropped
  • A 65x optical zoom lens is a rare commodity in a fixed lens camera, so the Canon PowerShot SX60 HS already exists in rarified air. But when you also consider that the PowerShot SX60 records images at a better quality and performs faster than other ultra-z...

  • Crisp photos and especially video, Surprisingly compact 65X zoom lens, Great on-screen controls and overall handling, Fair price, Using advanced features like RAW capture and external-mic jack can boost quality
  • Limited low-light performance, especially for video
  • No camera is perfect, but the PowerShot SX60 HS strikes a great balance of features, with rich color and detail in photos and video, good autofocus, an intuitive user interface, and power features like RAW image capture and mic jack. If you must have the...

  • Abstract:  Bridge and travel zoom cameras are two of the very few categories of compact cameras to survive the smartphone. Whether it's a travel zoom, which puts a 25X-30X zoom into your pocket, or a bridge camera which offers even more zoom, phones just can't compe...

  • Abstract:  The Long Zoom Compact category is probably the most diverse of any in our round-ups. Within it are three separate sub-classes of camera, all of which offer 8x optical zoom or greater (up to a whopping 83x). Broadly speaking, the cameras separate into the...
