What customers say about "Imaging"
Canon PowerShot SX430 IS Digital Compact Camera - Black
- The wide focal range also means that just about any shot can be framed and re-framed with the assistance of the rear LCD screen.
- With the massive focal range at our disposal the SX430 IS might be great for wildlife or sports photography.
- Despite the fact that this is a budget model, there are no problems with cropping and evaluation of image quality in the field.
- The lens reach here is so massive that, when attempting photography at the telephoto end of the zoom, the image relayed to the LCD screen tends to ‘dance’ about.
- There are two choices when it comes to image quality: Superfine and Fine and the ISO range is pretty limited – running from a manually selectable ISO100 to ISO1600.
Canon PowerShot SX540 HS All-in-One Digital Camera
- Very powerful zoom, automatic "seek" function to find target in zoomed image.
- Pictures are crystal clear and it's fairly easy to use.
- The zoom is amazing.
- The sharpness and resolution of the pictures make this camera worth having.
- The picture quality is great. Great digital zoom.

What customers say about "Display"
Canon PowerShot SX430 IS Digital Compact Camera - Black
- Depending on the lighting conditions, holding the INFO button can quickly change the brightness of the screen. This makes it easier to work with it.
- In bright sunshine, it’s quite convenient to take a photo, but the picture taken may seem darker than it actually is. With less bright lighting, such problems do not arise.
- You can easily view all the pictures taken, on the camera screen. It conveys clear and beautiful shots.
- Hard to see screen on sunny day, would prefer a viewfinder to take great pictures.
- Unfortunately, the lack of a viewfinder upsets, sometimes it is inconvenient to look at the display and take pictures.
Canon PowerShot SX540 HS All-in-One Digital Camera
- Nice camera and easy to use, great screen.
- A very clear screen that allows you to view photos.
- LCD is fixed. Pretty useless outdoors.
- No viewfinder, or optional viewfinder.
- The LCD screen doesn't work well in sunlight.
