Smart-looking in black, the Canon PowerShot SX230 HS Compact Digital Camera boasts an extensive list of specifications that will have appeal for beginners and more experienced shooters alike!

Very similar to the SX220, the PowerShot SX230 adds exciting GPS functionality - enabling the geotagging of your photos with a GPS Logger function that faithfully records your travels. With the included map utility you can fondly relive your journeys on a PC!

This 12.1 mp camera uses a back-illuminated CMOS sensor for enhanced performance at lower light levels, and Canon's powerful DIGIC 4 processor helps further to deliver superior image quality as well as a responsive camera performance.

Fronted by an impressive 14x optical zoom lens that ranges from wide angle through to a near-400mm focal length (35mm equivalent), the Canon PowerShot SX230 HS will let you capture most subjects that cross your path! Optical image stabilisation complements the powerful zoom range and helps you to produce consistently sharp photos.

The Canon PowerShot SX230 HS Compact Digital Camera also features an outstanding selection of shooting modes, which is where its universal appeal really lies. There are manual and semi-auto exposure modes for the more seasoned photographer, as well as a generous selection of scene modes and a Smart Auto mode for extra-simple shooting.

In addition to its enticing stills photo spec, the Canon PowerShot SX230 HS Compact Digital Camera also offers the ability to produce detail-packed Full HD movies with stereo sound. Dynamic Image Stabilisation helps to keep your videos smooth-looking.

If you're seeking a versatile and fun camera that won't hold you back, the scope for artistic expression is endless with the Canon PowerShot SX230 HS Compact Digital Camera!
