A high-magnification, compact digital camera with a wide 28 mm angle and a 14x optical zoom. With a completely remodeled form that is more compact by 20% than its predecessor, the PowerShot SX210 IS realizes a comfortable sense of hold and operability, and a smooth form for an easy fit, thanks to a unique arch form. An angle of 4° was added to the mode dial on the back view to improve the sense of hold, and operability is also ensured. It is equipped with Smart Auto for still images, “scene modes”, and Smart Movie that automatically detects 18 different scenes even when shooting videos, providing a wide array of shooting scenes.
