Precision Canon Optics

12x Optical Zoom with 28mm Wide-Angle Lens:

The PowerShot SX150 IS features a powerful Genuine Canon 12x Zoom Lens that delivers outstanding optical performance and versatility. With precision engineering and decades of leadership in optical technologies, Canon has created a bright, wide-angle lens that provides an extraordinary 12x zoom range. The lens starts at 28mm wide-angle and extends to 336mm telephoto (35mm equivalent), giving you tremendous coverage and reach. The telephoto end lets you capture subjects from a considerable distance, while the 28mm wide-angle makes it easy to shoot sweeping landscapes, large groups of people and tall buildings. Moreover, this superlative lens incorporates innovative designs that enable it to fit the compact profile of the PowerShot SX150 IS and perform at high speed with low power consumption.

Optical Image Stabilizer:

Handheld shooting can often lead to camera shake, making photos and videos blurry. Canon’s Optical Image Stabilizer is a sophisticated system that uses lens-shift technology to correct for unwanted camera movement. It makes handheld photography more practical in more shooting situations, providing excellent image quality in many difficult situations: outdoors at dusk, inside without a flash, and even at the telephoto end of the zoom range without a tripod. For still photos, it enables shooting at slower shutter speeds, accommodating more low-light shooting situations than ever before without having to boost ISO sensitivity. With camera shake and vibration reduced, you get a sharper, steadier image. And because it is an optical system, there is none of the image degradation typical with electronic image stabilizers.

Powerful Performance for Better Images:

14.1 Megapixel Sensor:

A 14.1 Megapixel sensor delivers beautiful photos with fine detail and brilliant color. The high resolution ensures superb image quality even when cropping or making very large prints.     

Canon DIGIC 4 Image Processor:

Canon DIGIC Image Processors have set the standard for functionality and performance since their groundbreaking introduction in 1999. With each successive generation, DIGIC processors have brought elevated performance and powerful new features to PowerShot digital cameras. The DIGIC 4 processor has ushered in a new level of picture quality and accelerated processing, making possible features such as high-speed continuous shooting, Full HD video and Face Detection Self-timer. New, more powerful noise reduction algorithms also provide improved low-light capture.

A Smarter Camera Means Better Photos and Videos:

Smart AUTO

The PowerShot SX150 IS features Smart AUTO – sophisticated Canon technology that makes getting that great shot as simple as pressing the shutter button. Smart AUTO automatically detects scenes by assessing various factors in both the background and the subject. Detected scenes are analyzed using 32 predefined shooting situations. The camera then makes optimal settings to ensure the best possible image capture, whether you’re shooting stills or video. Smart AUTO also includes Advanced Subject Detection, which allows the camera to detect and track non-human moving subjects like animals and vehicles. With Smart AUTO, all you have to do is frame your shot and capture away.

Canon EOS Camera Linup

The Canon EOS System is composed of Canon EOS camera bodies, lenses, Speedlite external flashes and several lens and camera accessories. This article will discuss the current line-up of Canon EOS camera bodies.

Canon has varied line-up of nine digital SLR camera models. The current production line-up includes four entry-level, three mid-level and two professional level bodies, though some would argue, the Canon EOS 5D should in fact be considered a pro level body. Only the lack of a weather-sealed body keeps it out of the professional ranks, although none would argue that its image quality is certainly up to "pro" standards. Of course, these level designation refer to the camera's features. There are numerous professional shooters using Rebel XTs and 40Ds. On the other hand, even 1Ds Mark III in inexperienced hands can produce rather poor images.

Entry level Canon EOS Cameras

Canon EOS Rebel XS (Canon EOS Rebel 1000d) - Canon's newest entry level DSLR. Canon apparently created an entirely new level of entry level camera. Combines features from the last three Rebel models. Features a new 10.1 Megapixel CMOS APS-C format sensor, a seven-point auto-focus system, and continues the trend of recent Canon EOS models by incorporating a 2.5 inch LCD Live View screen.) - Canon's oldest entry level DSLR, and is believed to be in the last stages of production. 8.0 Megapixel CMOS APS-C format sensor and a seven-point auto-focus system.

Canon EOS Rebel XT (Canon EOS Rebel 350D

Canon EOS Rebel XTi (Canon EOS Rebel 400D) - Replaced the Rebel XT. 10.1 Megapixel CMOS APS-C format sensor and an new nine-point auto-focus system. Also benefits by the addition of a larger 2.5 inch LCD screen.

Canon EOS Rebel XSi (Canon EOS 450D) -Replaced the Rebel XTi. 12.2 Megapixel CMOS APS-C format sensor and a refined nine-point auto-focus system. Also includes a brighter 3 inch LCD screen with new Live-View technology.

Mid-level Canon EOS cameras

Canon EOS 30D - Replaced the older Canon EOS 20D. 8.2 Megapixel CMOS APS-C format sensor, improved nine-point auto-focus system, and a step up from the 20D with a larger 2.5 inch LCD Screen.

Canon EOS 40D - First Canon DSLR to include the new Live-View technology. Users could for the first time, compose their shoots without having to look through the viewfinder. Received a larger 3 inch LCD screen. 10.1 Megapixel CMOS APS-C format sensor, nine-point-point auto-focus system.

- Canon EOS 5D - Full-frame .12.8 Megapixel DSLR features a nine-point auto-focus system and a smallish 2.5 inch LCD screen. Since the 5D is a full-frame camera there is no lens focal length conversion factor. Canon EF-S lenses will not work on this body.

Professional Level Canon EOS Cameras

Canon EOS 1D Mark III - The top of the line for professional sports shooters with its 10fps frame rate. 10.1 Megapixel APS-H format sensor, 45-point auto-focus system, and a new 3 inch Live-View LCD screen. Being a professional level camera, it also get a fully weather-sealed, magnesium body.

Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III - The ultimate Canon DSLR A professional level camera in every sense of the word. 21.1 Megapixel full-frame sensor, new 3 inch Live View LCD screen, and a 45-point advanced auto-focus system. Uses two DIGIC III processors. Easily the most advanced Canon EOS Camera so far.

Canon EOS Camera System

Each Canon EOS camera is designed to work with other components of the Canon EOS DSLR System. This includes an extensive line of Canon EF and EF-S mount lenses, as well as several models of external flash units and macro flash units. The Canon EOS Camera System is the most complete line-up of DSLR camera bodies in existence today.

Canon’s new 80D looks great on paper, but does it deliver – and is it worth upgrading from the 70D? By Angela Nicholson, Digital Camera World Magazine.

The EOS 80D is aimed at dedicated enthusiast photographers, a demanding group of people who want to be able to shoot a huge range of subjects in a variety of conditions. Inside is a new 24-million-pixel sensor along with a Digic 6 processing engine; a combination that brings a native sensitivity range of ISO 100-16,000 (one-stop higher than the 70D) and a maximum expansion value of ISO 25,600 (the same as the 70D). 

The maximum continuous shooting rate is the same as the 70D’s at 7fps, but the burst depth has been increased to 110 JPEGs or 25 raw files when a UHS-1 SD card is used. That’s a significant step up from the 65 JPEG or 16 raw files possible with the 70D.

Modern SLRs have two autofocus systems: one for when using the camera conventionally (in reflex mode), where images are composed in the viewfinder; and a second for use in LiveView and video mode. Canon has improved both of these systems for the 80D in comparison with the 70D. The reflex mode system, for instance, has 45 AF points, all of which are cross-type, whereas the 70D has 19 points. It can also use colour information from the 7,560-pixel RGB+IR (infrared) metering sensor to help with subject tracking. This and the increased burst depth makes the 80D more attractive to keen sport and action photographers.

Turning to the Live View and video autofocus system, the 80D uses Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology like the 70D, which means it has phase detection points on the imaging sensor itself. The new system is more sensitive and faster than the one in the 70D, but because fast autofocusing often isn’t desirable when you’re shooting video, it’s possible to vary the speed of the 80D’s system over seven steps for slower focus changes.

Build & handling

Canon gives touch-control over both the main and Quick Menus, and it can really speed up use. The Quick Menu is very useful, providing aspeedy route to some of the most commonly used features. It would be nice, however, if this was customisable so that it only contained the features you use on a frequent basis. Although the 80D’s screen is very good, the viewfinder is still the more natural option for most photographers to use when shooting stills, especially if the subject is moving. This also provides a bright view – and unlike the 70D’s viewfinder, which only covers 98% of the lens field of view, the 80D’s covers 100%. That means there are fewer surprises around the edge of the frame when you review your shots.

In an update on the 70D, it’s possible to select the Creative Filter mode via the 80D’s mode dial. When this is selected, one of 10 filter effects can be applied to JPEG images as they are shot. If you’re shooting raw files or raw+JPEG files, the camera switches automatically to shooting just JPEGs. Although it’s possible to use Creative Filters when composing images in the viewfinder, their impact can only be previewed on the main screen in Live View mode.

Performance

The 80D’s 24.2MP sensor makes a 25% increase in pixel count over the 70D’s, and it enables the new camera to make a significant step up in detail resolution for the majority of the sensitivity range without an increase in the level of noise. It’s noticeable, however, that at ISO 12,800 the 80D scores lower in our resolution tests than the 70D. However, when the

default levels of noise reduction are applied, images shot at this sensitivity setting (and at ISO 16,000) look good.

Noise is controlled well and although some detail is lost, there’s no obvious smearing. We would advise caution with the uppermost setting of ISO 25,600, because some areas have a slight haze and lack detail when images are at around A4 size. But that’s why this value is an expansion setting: Canon makes it available for use if it’s really needed, but doesn’t consider the image quality entirely satisfactory.

Canon has given the 80D a significantly better autofocus (AF)system for use with the viewfinder than the 70D, so I was keen to put it to the test. It didn’t disappoint, getting stationary subjects sharp in a flash and keeping fast-moving subjects sharp, even in low light. I experimented with the AF point selection modes when shooting skateboarders in the gloomy conditions of London’s Undercroft skate park, and found that the 45-point Automatic Selection option is pretty capable, probably aided by the new colour detection system. Single-point AF (Manual selection) mode also worked well provided I could keep the active point over the subject. That’s easier said than done when you’re shooting skateboarders, who are prone to jumping, twisting and turning, and I had greater success when using the Zone AF mode. In this mode, the 45 AF points are grouped into nine zones and you select the most appropriate zone to use before starting to shoot. The camera then tracks the subject using the AF points within that zone. It’s a great option for moving targets and you see the points light up as they activate, giving you confidence that your images will be sharp. It’s not 100% fool-proof but I got a high hit rate, and it’s more reliable than 45-point Automatic Selection mode. 

The Live View and Video mode AF system is also good. It’s fast enough to shoot stills of moving subjects in some situations, but the viewfinder system is more reliable.

The Dual Pixel CMOS AF system’s focus shift is smooth enough to be usable when shooting video, but it is dependent upon the shooting scenario and speed of movement. In reflex mode the 80D uses the same metering system as the 750D and 760D, which means there’s a 7,560-pixel RGB+IR (infrared) sensor and 63-zone Evaluative, Partial, Centre-weighted and Spot metering options. The evaluative system is very good, but the weighting applied to the active AF point can mean you need to apply exposure compensation in highcontrast situations. There’s nothing especially unusual in that.

When shooting in Live View mode, the 80D uses the imaging sensor to measure exposure, and it does a good job. However, if you’ve turned up the brightness of the screen to cope with bright ambient light, keep an eye on the histogram view: images may look brighter than they actually are.

Fast AF

In continuous autofocus mode, the 80D kept this skateboarder sharp easily as he moved across the frame and towards the camera.

Dynamic range

Thanks to the 80D’s high dynamic range, there’s detail in the bright highlights as well as the gloomy interior of this scene.

It’s natural

The automatic white balance system coped with the different light and numerous colours of the scene to produce a natural image.

While colours aren’t as saturated as in images

from the Pentax K-3 II, the 80D’s shots are a

little more saturated than is technically correct.

Still, they make for attractive results.

On the whole, the Canon 80D’s images are a

little cleaner than the 70D’s. It only drops

slightly behind the Pentax K-3 II and Sony

Alpha 77 II at the top sensitivity values.

Canon has squeezed more dynamic range

from the 80D than the 70D, indicating

images have a better range of tones.

However, the K-3 II achieves higher values.

We say

Canon has created an excellent camera that

makes a worthwhile upgrade from the 70D.

It’s well-built with sensibly arranged

controls, has good ergonomics and an

extensive feature set, and can be set up to

suit your shooting style. Most importantly,

the image quality is superb with lots of detail.
