Editor’s Note June 12, 2011: I’ve added new pictures taken with the PowerShot SX130 IS in my photo blog. Do have a look.
I know, I know. I bought the Canon Powershot SX120 IS last September. A year has passed and Canon has come out with its successor, the Powershot SX130 IS. And by a pleasant stroke of luck, I bought this model for a steal; it’s surprisingly cheaper than the SX120 IS. So what did I do with my older camera? Let’s just say that it’s in very good hands.
Switching to the SX130 IS presented no problems for me, having handled the SX120 IS for the past year. This newer model gains the following plus points in my book:
- 12.1 megapixels
- HD movie recording 720p with stereo sound (bear in mind the maximum recording time is only 10 minutes)
- Support for SDXC memory cards (capacities of 32GB and above)
- A bright TFT 3-inch LCD screen
- A 12x zoom range starting at 28mm (wide) to 336mm (telephoto)
- Additional shooting scenes
- And a whole host of features too long to mention here
I’m very pleased with the initial shots taken with the SX130 IS. Perhaps I’ll do a more in-depth review of this camera later when I’m not too lazy.
