The new Canon PowerShot SX30 IS, incorporating the world’s first* optical 35x zoom lens, offers a wider zoom range—from 24 mm to 840 mm—and achieves a wider angle of view than its predecessor, the PowerShot SX20 IS released in August 2009. The camera is capable of recording HD 1,280 x 720 video at 30 fps with high-quality stereo sound, and offers such features as a Movie Button, Smart Auto Movie, and a Dynamic Mode. Delivering exceptional basic performance, the PowerShot SX30 IS combines Canon’s DIGIC 4 image processor and a high-resolution 14.1-megapixel CCD sensor, and incorporates a 2.7-inch Vari-Angle Clear Live LCD V monitor with a wide-angle view.
