The PowerShot SX70 HS realizes a 65x optical zoom range from 21mm¹ at the wide end to 1365mm¹ at the telephoto end and is equipped with a 20.3 megapixel² CMOS sensor. What’s more, using improved ZoomPlus technology, the camera’s zoom range can be digitally extended to 2730mm^1,3 while maintaining image clarity. Thanks to a versatile zoom range spanning wide-angle to telephoto and even macro photography, the PowerShot SX70 HS enables users to enjoy shooting from a variety of viewing angles.

Thanks to a 0.39-inch, approximately 2.36-million dot, high-definition OLED EVF, the PowerShot SX70 HS, users can enjoy viewfinder photography with classic DSLR-style ergonomics. In addition, such operational elements as the camera grip and button placement have been redesigned. The camera’s eyepiece is also equipped with a new eye sensor that automatically switches between live view and viewfinder display when bringing the camera up to the eye.

The PowerShot SX70 HS is also equipped with Canon’s newest DIGIC 8 image processor, which features Dual Sensing IS for high-precision optical image stabilization of up to 5 stops⁴ during stills shooting. The camera also achieves increased continuous shooting performance compared with its predecessor, delivering a maximum of approximately 5.7 frames per second with servo autofocus (AF) and auto exposure (AE) enabled and a maximum of approximately 10.0 frames per second with one-shot AF and AE. What’s more, users can capture 4K video⁵ and 4K time lapse video from which high-resolution still frames can be extracted.
