Canon PowerShot SX720 HS Provides 40X Optical Zoom

March 30, 2016

I shoot most of my photos these days with my smartphone unless I really need features including on my DLSR. One thing smartphones don’t do really well is zoom and that’s where the Canon PowerShot SX720 HS excels!

What is the killer feature? It has 40X optical zoom (that’s the equivalent of 24-960mm)! Of course that is a crazy high number and so it includes image stabilization to make sure your pictures aren’t blurred by shake. It shoots 20 megapixel stills and 1080p video with stereo sound. Need to control it remotely? An app on your phone can communication via NFC. Photos can also be uploaded via WiFi. It currently sells for $379 at Amazon but I think you’ll find it a perfect complement to your smartphone camera.
