The Canon SX60 is a bridge camera which offers DSLR-like handling without the need for changing lenses, aimed at people looking for great image quality in a convenient package.

Packing a powerful 65x optical zoom lens with f3.4-6.5 aperture, the SX60 is a highly versatile camera. At its core sits a 16.1-megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor with Canon DIGIC 6 image processing and Intelligent IS, a combination that can deliver significantly better image quality when compared to a smartphone. The high resolution of the camera’s sensor means that you will be able to capture images that look good whether printed or displayed large on smart devices such as laptops, tablets and 4K TVs via HDMI cable. While the DIGIC 6 processor and the camera’s 5-axis dynamic anti-shake technology combine to deliver sharp images with rich colour and reduced image noise and blurriness, especially in low light.

Whether you’re interested in photographing portraits, wildlife photography or landscape photography and distant details, this camera will cover subjects near and far without the need for any additional lenses. This type of camera is particularly popular with people who are keen to explore their photography and haven’t yet decided which area of image creation appeals to them most.

The convenience of the SX60 means you can easily pack it in your bag or wear it around your neck all day and still have plenty of room for your essentials and a small tripod if need be. As well as its 3-inch 922k-dot PureColor II LCD, you have the option of the camera’s built-in electronic viewfinder for composing your images. Additionally, the SX60’s screen can be tilted at various angles for improved visibility when shooting at creative angles.

The camera’s mode dial and grip with customisable buttons are positioned conveniently, close to where your thumb and fingers sit naturally, providing quick access to the camera’s main controls. For those who are still growing in confidence, the camera features smart auto, creative filters and scene selection modes to take the pressure off. However, full manual control is available once you’re feeling confident enough to begin experimenting.

People looking for a versatile camera that offers good image quality and superior zoom capabilities without the need for extra lenses should consider the Canon SX60. It’s a compact all-rounder with DSLR-like handling and RAW still image capture, as well as JPEG.
