The SX30 IS is a 35x superzoom bridge
camera. Its zoom range is from 24-840mm (35mm equiv). Even now, it has the second-longest zoom
range, just behind the Nikon P500 (36x, 22.5-810mm) and still beats it on the
telephoto end.
Also of note is the incredible image
stabilization. At 4.5 stops, it's also
about the best you can get in any camera.
Because of this, images are completely crisp, even at the extreme
telephoto end.
It can film good-quality movies in 720p, and
of course has full manual controls over photos (though not videos).
35x Zoom and Image Stabilization in Practice
The heroic 35x zoom really gives you the range
that can let you take any picture and not have to crop. When I took a photo of the moon (hand-held at
night, at full zoom range, at a low ISO), a friend exclaimed that she'd never
be able to get a picture like that with her SLR. It's true.
SLRs are excellent, but anyone who isn't extremely wealthy won't be able
to zoom so close into far-away subjects as the SX30 IS lets you. Even using an APS-C sensor DSLR with a lens
that can zoom up to 300mm (nearing the max zoom that is attainable for the
middle class) and cropping it will not get shots as fine as can be taken from
an SX30 IS.
The 4.5 stop IS lets you
keep the ISO down that much lower so that even at night, if braced against
something, it's still possible to take ISO 80-100 shots at full zoom
range. This beats any DSLR and lens
without image stabilization. Think about
it. Even at medium zoom (attainable with
a DSLR lens), a non-stabilized DSLR would need to take shots at at least ISO
1600 to equal an SX30 IS shot at ISO 100 with image stabilization. What I can tell you is that no moderately
priced DSLR's picture quality at ISO 1600 can beat the SX30 IS's picture
quality at ISO 100, compact sensor and all.
Lastly, the 840mm zoom allows impressive bokeh (for small objects). Yes, you heard it right. Bokeh on a 1/2.3'' CCD sensor "point and shoot" camera. How is this possible? Remember that four things influence bokeh (artistic background defocus). The first is sensor size. A larger sensor leads to more bokeh. The second is aperture. A larger aperture (F-number) leads to more bokeh. However, the much forgotten third and fourth factors are zoom and the nearness of focus. A longer zoom will also lead to more bokeh, as will focusing nearer to the camera. As already stated, the 1/2.3'' sensor is compact size. The aperture is quite impressive, starting with F/2.7 at the wide end and finishing with a maximum aperture of F/5.8 on the telephoto end. Add that to an 840mm equivalent zoom, and you have yourself some bokeh. Note that to achieve bokeh at the telephoto end, it's necessary to focus as near as possible and shoot something that is small enough to fit within the frame. The item was used very little and is virtually brand new! It also comes with acarry bag.
