Today on this hot morning, we have with us the Canon PowerShot SX210 IS. The camera comes with quite a good selection of semi-manual and manual controls. Not forgetting the flexible lens that helps in taking great shots. One thing that is undeniable with this camera is that the photo quality is really good. We don’t like the performance of the camera when it came to taking shots, it’s a tad slow.
It features a 3-inch LCD which is nothing to talk about. The design of the camera is a bit strange, in a way that Canon wanted to be it stylish and yet it has this weird form of controls specially with the small flash, which pops up every time the camera is switched on, on the upper left. It is available in different colors such as black, purple and gold.
This 14.1 megapixels camera is the first camera from Canon to have a 28mm-equivalent wide-angle lens with a 14x zoom. Basically, the Canon PowerShot SX210 IS is for those who are looking for a camera that is a compact superzoom with manual controls and fine photo quality.

Today on this Monday morning, we have with us a Panasonic digital camera, the Lumix DMC-TZ5. The 9-megapixel Lumix DMC-TZ5 is small which makes it easy to fit in one’s pocket or handbag. The digital camera comes with 10x zoom lens. Not forgetting the 3-inch LCD that it sports that enables us to view the pictures that we took. It also has an optical image stabilizer that surely helps when taking shots. Together with those features, there is a whole array of features that comes with the camera including Intelligent ISO, picture quality, continuous AF, metering, digital zoom, color effects, audio recording, clock set as well as AF assist.
The Lumix DMC-TZ5 weighs 8.4 ounces. There’s a dial on the camera that helps to switch among movie or camera modes. Shots taken with the camera turn out sharp. Overall, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 is a nice and normal camera that allows for nice shots to be taken.
