pros
+ Massive zoom range to play with
+ Well laid out controls
+ Good image quality
+ More versatile than a dSLR + kit lens at this price range

cons
- At this price you can buy an entry level dSLR
- As expected ISO range above 400 is of limited use
- Quality doesn't match up to similarly priced dSLR

Verdict

Michael Browne

At an MRP of Rs. 28,995, the Canon SX30IS is the camera for you if you need a very wide zoom range to work with - versatility is the key here. Image quality is pretty good for a compact camera, but if you're really discerning about quality, you might be a bit disappointed, especially at ISO 400 and above. In such cases, we recommend an entry-level dSLR, or something like the Sony NEX-3 or Canon S95 if you're averse to bulkier bodies.
