Canon PowerShot SX610 HS - Wi-Fi Enabled (Black)

A mid-sized point-and-shoot looking for its niche in the smartphone era. It\'s good-enough and easy to use. But it\'s a little bulky for what it does, the non-touch interface feels dated, and the low-light performance is terrible.Niche uses for a camera like this:* Travel / risky situations: Currently the SX610 is a third the price of a mainline smartphone. And you don\'t want to be whipping out your fancy Iphone 6s when you\'re traveling abroad, anyway... Using a P&S reduces the risk of losing or breaking your phone, or having to show off your SLR kit in sketchy places.* Traditionalists: Your stick-in-the-mud uncle who wants a camera to be a camera, but doesn\'t need fancy gear.* Kids: Let them take pics without risking your Iphone, or risking them posting something inappropriate when shooting with a smartphone. But in that case, one of the cheaper Canon Elphs is a better bet.* 2nd camera: Mark the spots where you want to come back with your fancier camera.Pictured: SX610 next to a 5\" LG Nexus 5 (2013).Some details:* Screen: Reasonably bright, but it begs to be a touch screen, and holding the camera 2-handed while going through the menus feels awkward.* Low Light: There are 3 low light modes. In the handheld low-light mode, 5MP shots are taken very briskly. But they\'re actually terrible quality unless fully lit (but they do come out). In long-exposure mode, the camera should be on a tripod or other solid surface. In a third low-light mode (the one I liked best), results are somewhere in the middle. But in all cases, very noisy, dark images that blur on even minor motion. And if you don\'t use a low-light mode? In \"P\" or \"Auto\", the camera defaults to settings that are very slow, emphasize shake while underexposing-- completely unusable in dimly lit locations.* Focus & Shoot: Fast focus selection, fast shooting, even using a slow old Sandisk SDHC card.* Size: Compact enough for a pocket, but awkward if that isn\'t a coat pocket. Roughly the size of a 4.5\" cell phone (pictured with a 5\" 2013 LG Nexus 5) but much heavier. Grippy spots on front and back show it\'s meant to work one-handed, but I found that I couldn\'t hold it one-handed and STEADY when pressing the shutter (I have average sized male hands and good grip strength). Combined with using the controls, this is definitely a 2-handed camera, but uncomfortably so, especially if you\'re trying to not cover the flash or push on the lens housing.If you don\'t need it to fit in a pocket, the SX400 series is easier to hold and has larger zoom ranges.* Flash: The external flash (manually) pops somewhat awkwardly, but is more powerful than an Elph\'s. The pop-up lets it be more offset, but the resulting pics are still washed out. Good range and power.* Kit: Minimal like most Canon Point&Shoots. No cables, no SD card, no full manual (quick-start manual is included). Charger, battery, and wrist strap are included.Before smartphone cameras got as good as they are now, this little shooter would have been 4 stars. Today, its limited usefulness and average performance hold it back to 3 stars. Since my goal was a low-light camera to carry for nightlife and travel, I\'m returning this one and will try the more expensive SX710. If that one doesn\'t work, I\'ll be stuck moving up to the G series or over to the new compact \"mirrorless\" ILC cameras.While it\'s a thoroughly functional \"average\" camera, the SX610 is recommended only if you fit into one of the described niches. Everyone else is better off using their smartphone, bumping down to the cheaper Elphs (or bulkier 400 series superzooms), or up to the prosumer G series.
It\'s a nice little camera for the price...however it did not come with a wrist strap or a SD card and when viewing a previous picture on the playback the camera turns off. Also there\'s not a lot of shooting scenes to choose from and the lens appears grainy before taking a picture..but the pictures turn out good.
Bought this camera for a specific mission: Pocket-fitting camera to document a special family trip. This is the fourth Canon camera I have had in this format. (Seems we buy one about every 3-5 years for the latest, greatest means to capture such trips or life events.) I was attracted to the lengthy optical zoom, color (hard to leave behind), and familiarity.All around, the images were not as crisp as I had hoped. The real disappointment was interior shots. In modest light, shooting inside castles/museums/cathedrals, the image was too grainy. Images with flash lacked sophistication; the flash would blow out the subject, grain would still exist. I ended up experimenting with my cell phone (Galaxy S8+). Without fail, the phone took better pictures in challenging situations.From a design perspective, I\'m floored that there is no longer a delete (trash can) button. This super-common function is now multiple steps. Many of the other features are just fine. It is odd having to manually pop-up the flash.WiFi is not as convenient as it sounds. I ended up transferring images via micro-USB-to-USB cord (not provided).Instruction manual is bare minimum. Almost like it is achieving a minimal legal requirement, rather than just covering the consumer basics. All told, this was a waste of money.For me, if I didn\'t need it to literally fit in my pocket, I would have moved up a class to a slightly larger point-and-shoot with a good optical range. For my travels, the phone would have been fine by itself. Carefully consider how you will use it and buy only it its strengths match to your needs.As I write the review, I\'ve attached four images. The first two are from inside Lincoln Cathedral and Temple Church shot with the camera. The second two are from Temple Church (raised dias and wooden carving behind altar) shot with my phone. Light was similar.
Nice features, slow flash. The lens is an asset. I take interior shots with the zoom at its widest but I find the long telephoto to also be of use. True, the camera has to be held steady at full extension but I recently got some distant shots that would otherwise have been beyond the reach of my older point-and-shoot. However, because of its slow flash response, the camera does not work well for doing interior shots of people, such as at parties. When taking a photo with the flash, it takes 3-5 seconds for the flash to fire after the button has been pushed. By then the action I was hoping to capture has long since moved on. Thinking this delay might be due to a drained battery, I put a freshly recharged battery in the camera but got the same results. Rather than keeping a charge on hand in a capacitor, perhaps the charge is built up only after the flash is triggered. Just my guess. As to the Wi-Fi, I prefer a cable for downloads. As others have noted, the pop-up flash is a nuisance, although a minor one.
