Canon PowerShot SX30 IS Digital Camera
All-in-One Superzoom Bridge Camera – Ultra-Powerful 35x Optical Reach
The Canon PowerShot SX30 IS is a classically styled, highly versatile bridge camera designed to deliver an incredible focal range in a single integrated body. The undisputed centerpiece of this camera is its massive 35x optical zoom lens, offering a 24-840mm equivalent range that transitions from a true wide-angle perspective to an extreme telephoto. This expansive reach makes it an exceptional all-in-one companion for travel, family events, sports, and distant wildlife photography.

Equipped with a 14.1-megapixel sensor, a DIGIC 4 image processor, and an advanced Optical Image Stabilizer to counteract camera shake at high magnifications, the SX30 IS puts incredible imaging power at your fingertips.

Key Features & Optical Engineering
Massive 35x Wide-Angle Superzoom (24-840mm Equivalent): Covers everything from panoramic landscapes to extreme close-ups of distant subjects. Features specialized ultra-high refraction index and Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) glass elements to correct wide-angle distortion and suppress chromatic aberrations.

Optical Image Stabilization (IS): Canon’s specialized lens-shift stabilization mechanism counteracts physical hand tremors, which is critical for securing sharp, blur-free images when shooting handheld at extreme telephoto focal lengths.

Zoom Framing Assist: A dedicated button that temporarily zooms out the frame so you can relocate a fast-moving subject, then instantly cuts back to your previous telephoto zoom level once the subject is re-centered.

14.1MP Sensor & DIGIC 4 Processing: Delivers high-resolution, print-ready stills with rich detail. The proprietary DIGIC 4 engine provides fast operational response times and enhanced noise reduction for cleaner images at higher ISO sensitivities.

Composition, Video, & Smart Modes
2.7-Inch Vari-Angle LCD Monitor: Features a fully articulating flip-out screen that rotates to facilitate effortless framing from high overhead, low ground-level, or front-facing selfie angles.

720p HD Video with Stereo Audio: Records smooth 720p high-definition video complete with high-fidelity stereo sound. Full optical zoom and Dynamic Image Stabilization are fully supported during video recording to keep movie tracks steady.

Advanced Smart AUTO Technology: Intelligently analyzes the frame and automatically maps the optimal exposure settings based on 23 pre-defined shooting conditions—such as Sports, Foliage, Fireworks, and Snow.

Creative Scene Effects & My Colors: Includes popular built-in filters like Miniature Effect, Fisheye perspective, and Super Vivid mode, alongside real-time color control adjustments (Sepia, Black & White, and Positive Film).

Integrated Flash Hot Shoe: Beyond its built-in pop-up flash, the camera includes a dedicated top hot shoe, allowing you to mount powerful external Canon Speedlite flashes for advanced lighting control.
