The Canon PowerShot SX510 HS

Canon recently announced their new PowerShot SX510 HS and SX170 IS superzooms for the masses. On the one hand the Canon PowerShot SX510 HS is designed for the compact user while the Canon PowerShot SX170 IS is targeted at the full-size superzoom digital camera user. Ramping up from it's previous version, the SX500, the SX510 adds on a 12.1MP CMOS sensor and built-in WiFi but maintains the same 30x 24-720mm optical zoom lens, 3.0-inch LCD screen and 1080/24p video recording capability. The SX170 on the other hand maintains more or less the same 16x optical zoom and 16MP CCD sensor as it's previous version, the SX160 but changes up the battery to a slimmer proprietary rechargeable Li-ion pack making it lighter and smaller. According to Canon the SX510 will be available for $249.99 (RM827.47) while the SX170 will be sold for $179.99 (RM595.77). Both will be available in markets like Malaysia in September 2013. Both models should take the point-and-shoot digital camera enthusiast to the next level in digital photography with options for more features or the same powerful device with better and lighter design.
