Review on Canon PowerShot SX600 HS 16MP Digital Camera (White) by Simo Whisperer

This camera does almost the same as its predecessor and even a little more. At first I had three versions of this camera and with each iteration the night image quality and zoom just got better and better. While I could hardly take night shots with my first advanced Canon camera, this one manages it even without a tripod. I actually took a photo of another plane from my plane (which bounced off) and got some usable shots (after lightening it up a bit with Photoshop). The 16x zoom on this camera is fantastic and because of the zoom I still use my camera instead of my phone when I'm on tour. Having never taken a photography class, this camera offers more than I could ever hope for. One of the new features is the ability to connect to the Phone app via Wi-Fi, allowing you to view and transfer photos from your phone to your phone. Alternatively, you can use the phone app as a remote control to activate the shutter. Finally, you can use the app to track your location so you can upload that data to your photos after the camera captures it. This last feature was necessary as the camera no longer had its own GPS to track location data (unlike the previous camera, which had GPS). I suspect the new Wi-Fi scheme has taken up where the GPS used to be. However, using your phone's GPS is very efficient (if you remember to go into the app and turn it on) and I really like being able to view photos on my phone and then transfer them as well. I'm still a bit disappointed that there isn't an option to use AA batteries, which fitted my first Canon just fine in a pinch (they had switched to rechargeables when I bought my second). . The battery life is substantial and I usually get through all my outings by charging the battery beforehand. After all, this phone is small enough to fit in your pocket and I always say that the best camera you have is the one you actually carry around with you!
