Handheld big zoom cool play selfie! Canon Bo Xiu SX730 HS evaluation

Canon's telephoto camera, the SX730 HS, released in spring 2017, is the first portable large zoom digital camera this year, and is the first product of this year to be upgraded with the PowerShot SX series. Canon's card 'End of the World' New masterpiece card camera was mobile phones gradually eroded today, SX730HS made a clear response, the card still has a place.The biggest highlight of this machine is the annual upgrade of the core hardware, but also for the need to join the self-timer 180 degrees flip the screen, these upgrades are quietly changing the original old-fashioned image, and gradually move more to cater to the development of consumer routes.

Canon PowerShot SX730 HS Reference price: Reading ...image Comments Quote parameter overview

Canon Powershot SX730 HS in the previous compact size of the foundation to improve the screen design, followed by a 40x optical zoom lens based on further enhance their own strength - while the back-illuminated CMOS sensor pixels maintained at 20 million at the same time , The latest DIGIC 7 image processor has also been decentralized.

First, after the first assessment

SX730 HS as the latest Canon portable telephoto models, with 2010 megapixel, while supporting 40x optical zoom, built-in Wi-Fi, NFC function based on the new Bluetooth connectivity, and added a dedicated flip Screen design, we can see that this is a comprehensive very strong product.

SX700 series from appearance to function are some good attempts

The recent development of card camera is not ideal, Canon at this ebb tide released a new generation of Powershot SX730 HS is equivalent to this series with a shot on the needle.Since the series of the first product SX700 available, although the card camera gradually Out of the low zoom ratio of the vicious circle, but to break consumer misunderstandings on the poor performance of the card camera, there is still some way to go, this road, by the Canon SX730 HS to open up.

SX720 HS in the same time upgrade the hardware card machine design

The Powershot line of products is an important product line of many of Canon's newest features for trial and error. With the goal of increasing zoom ratio and enhancing interactive capabilities, successful trials from SLR cameras will gradually be added to the bridge camera , So that the card camera can make its combination of hardware and software to achieve a new level of quality.

Canon SX730 HS

As we all know, with a high-power zoom camera, trying to reduce the volume of the attempt will be frustrated, as reduced body size but in exchange for a poor operating feel.And as this problem is resolved, the interoperability The upgrade is another new topic after the intuitive operation of the smartphone.

So for the SX730, you can summarize: 1, first of all, it is still a card camera in an attempt to use it to replace the idea of ​​the phone or not, but for the less demanding players, especially those who love self-timer can not Missed; 2, Powershot SX730 HS is a continuation of the SX series of the highest product line, it is more important to upgrade one of the aspects of improved interoperability; 3, to maintain the small size of the fuselage or SX series of basic concepts of development, Plug into the larger zoom lens is the core, on this basis to increase the interactive features is a good attempt.

Second, Canon Powershot SX730 HS hands-on experience

Canon Powershot SX730 HS overpack

Canon's camera packaging has always been using this black as the main color, revealing the professional atmosphere without excessive rendering. Tear off the official designated security seal, you can see the main Canon SX730 HS.

Canon SX730 HS

SX720 HS that year when the weight to get Xiaobian impressive, get the Canon SX730 HS also have the same feeling: so lightweight card camera hard to imagine this is a built-in 40x optical zoom lens, Canon SX730 HS also use The engineering plastics, get started when the body does not seem too heavy.

Canon SX730 HS camera front

Lens, the Canon SX730 HS did not make changes, which is taking into account the wide-angle end and then expand the picture quality or volume needs to be further compromise, so some functions do not upgrade but is better, miniaturization process often exists This difficulty.

Canon SX730 HS original length of the lens

Canon SX730 HS maximum length of the lens (zoom to equivalent 960mm)

Canon Powershot SX730 HS uses a 40x optical zoom lens focal length of 4.3-172mm (equivalent focal length of 24-960mm) maximum aperture of F3.3-6.9 for the thickness of less than 36mm in the body is already It's great, but it's even better if you have more power.

Canon SX730 HS handle design

Canon SX730 HS top button design

Canon Powershot SX730 HS's holding part and predecessor is also no change, but Xiaobian still be able to see the small changes - which is related to its need to support 180-degree flip screen. Focal length range to increase, in order to ensure handheld shooting anti-shake Ability, then there is only one finger to stabilize the body to avoid leaning forward, the size of the handle is clearly reserved for the preparation; before the Canon Powershot SX720 HS that requires hand-held stability, not to mention the latest Canon SX730 HS yet.

Canon SX730 HS flip screen

Canon SX730 HS up the screen up to 180 degrees angle

Canon SX730 HS biggest change is to flip the screen to join, but unfortunately the screen itself has not changed, just joined the flip screen design is conducive to the user to complete the self-timer operation. Screen reversal angle maximum support to 180 degrees, turn the machine back Body will automatically enter the shooting mode, very convenient.

Canon SX730 HS back button distribution

Taking into account the size of the fuselage, the mode dial from the original vertical design of the fuselage back to the top of the fuselage.The button continues the symmetrical layout, users do not need to enter the menu to quickly adjust the parameters.

Canon SX730 HS flash

The same side of the physical switch design

Flash, Canon Powershot SX730 HS placed on the left side of the dome pop-up built-in flash, flash button attached to the side to open, although the flash angle can only be maintained at the horizontal, the normal fill light operation is still possible Also from the side you can see that the original zoom button has been adjusted to the back button.

Canon SX730 HS data interface features

The same changes in the composition of the data interface, change is not just the location.Canon Powershot SX730HS right side of the design will be slightly simple and compared to the data interface-based, of course, with a HDMI output interface is also very practical. Said the machine's data interface is not enough to meet the daily use.

Canon SX730 HS battery life in general

Support SD memory card

Canon SX730 HS comes with a travel charger

Canon Powershot SX730 HS supports SD / SDHC / SDXC memory card compatibility is not a big problem. Life, the Canon Powershot SX730 HS supports NB-13L-type lithium battery, the standard capacity of 1250 mA, shooting 300 static Photo is not a problem, but because it does not support direct charging, so Xiaobian still suggest that you prepare more than one, after all, when the electricity is not charging treasure can not help you.However, equipped with a travel charger is relatively small, not too much to bring the problem .

Third, Canon Powershot SX730 HS features introduced

1, 40 times the zoom capability

As a telephoto machine, can not be mentioned is the Canon SX730 HS zoom function, not only with 40x optical zoom, zoom combined with the zoom, up to about 80 times the zoom lens, the equivalent focal length 1920mm.Although the 40 times Optical telephoto more powerful telephoto machine there are many, but in the small compact, lightweight, slim body can plug 40X zoom is also sufficient for daily shots. Let's take a look at the actual shooting results.

Canon SX730 HS real shot proofs one (24 mm)

Canon SX730 HS real shot proofs one (960 mm)

Canon SX730 HS real shot proofs one (Equivalent to 1920 mm)

Canon SX730 HS real sample proofs (3840 mm equivalent)

Bridge zoom digital camera popular reason is that it is easy to take more or less close to the scene, can do a mirror go the world in the past, the lens zoom factor means that the body will be larger , Canon Powershot SX730 HS in ensuring a compact body, but also equipped with a 40x optical zoom lens, this design is very great.

2, flip the screen design

180-degree flip screen is very useful, whether a person or a number of individuals can self-timer, but have to say that this caring move will also add more user groups for it, I also think in the process of using, if the screen can be For the touch screen, the operation will be more simple and convenient.

Canon SX730 HS with flip screen design

In addition to adding the flip screen design, Canon's first travel-class card camera joined the automatic switch to self-timer function.After turning on this feature, you can achieve the LCD screen forward into the self-timer mode, 2 seconds after the countdown to automatically release the shutter .Although the general Like self-timer friends will not use the countdown camera, but this feature is quite suitable for shooting family photos and other topics.

Fourth, Canon SX730 HS different ISO speed test

Canon SX730 HS with 1 / 2.3 inch, effective pixels 20 million back-illuminated CMOS image sensor, the sensitivity range of ISO100-ISO3200. The following is the Canon SX730 HS using different sensitivities for shooting quality test.

From the above test is not difficult to see, the use of lower sensitivity when the quality is delicate, the minimum ISO80 quality is still very good, the difference between ISO100 and ISO200 is not very obvious.Canon's HS SYSTEM can effectively reduce the high Sensitivity of noise, but relatively speaking, the details of the picture is also lost a lot of time to about the time of ISO1600 can not see the above words.Xiaobian recommended ISO800 is available ISO, ISO1600 is already available ceiling.

Fifth, Canon SX730 HS real shot proofs analysis

Canon SX730 HS is a high magnification optical zoom lens and portable digital camera card, both in hardware upgrades or software upgrades, the performance has been many Powershot series of true biography, the use of new back-illuminated image sensor, making the SX730 HS's photosensitive performance has been significantly improved, you can shoot in a variety of shooting conditions can also be clearly high-quality photos.

Next, Xiaobian to a variety of shooting angles, according to the lens characteristics of the points were explained, but also allow everyone to fully understand the proofs of this machine shot.We can click on: Canon SX730 HS proofs View original image of all samples.

As a digital camera that supports 40x optical zoom, wide-angle is one of the advantages built-in shortest 24mm focal length wide-angle lens can shoot more wide scenes.This support wide-angle end of 24mm camera color effect is worth the user Look forward to the following Xiaobian first wide-angle end proofs are introduced.

Details, although this pixel lower sensor size is relatively small, but because the pixel has reached 20 million, so the details of the performance stand the test of amplification, enlarged to 100% can clearly distinguish the content of this lens aperture in Wide-angle end of the maximum aperture of f / 3.3, but the dispersion and the purple edge of the control to maintain the previous level, which with the new DIGIC7 processor to suppress the purple edge has a great relationship is less than the maximum aperture is still a little dark corner Obviously, after receiving a small file basically disappeared.

Xiaobian, respectively, for different magnification of the machine shooting a variety of focal lengths proofs. Can see the imaging situation is still very good looking, whether it is in the optical zoom or digital zoom additional range of images as always, the protection, even if the use of Double the digital zoom to a certain percentage of clarity is not much loss.

In plenty of light and use the digital zoom, you can see the more obvious hidden corners, but in low light is not easy to find, in general, is still acceptable, due to the upgraded DIGIC7 image processor, whether focusing algorithm Or picture processing speed has a lot of progress, which is reflected in the focus speed or noise control has a certain degree of improvement.

Six, PConline evaluation summary

Canon SX730 HS in the maintenance for the previous 40x optical zoom at the same time, increased for self-timer flip screen and Bluetooth connection module for connection.Especially joined the flip screen body no obvious 'go', while the card camera Small in line with the aesthetic needs of many customers, miniaturization of the goal has taken a new step.

Canon SX730 HS body and accessories all photos

Using a new 20 million effective pixel high-sensitivity CMOS sensor and its own most advanced DIGIC 7 image processor, HS SYSTEM makes this composition makes the imaging has a more powerful protection. Daily photos become more clear and beautiful, Low light environment and can effectively reduce the noise caused by the high sense of the problem.

Canon Powershot SX730 HS

In addition to the standard wireless WiFi capabilities for stable delivery, NFC and the new Bluetooth module speed up the sharing process for younger, more speed-seeking users. For those using only mobile phones for shooting, the SX730 HS Allows us to take a picture taken more than mobile phone perspective finer, better picture quality photos, to share easier.

Canon SX730 HS

After years of development, Canon SX series telephoto camera finally get rid of the image of the dark, really like a card machine. Canon SX730 HS after three generations of development, not only maintains a compact appearance, but also gradually added some not Think of the function. This appearance and ordinary card machine the same product, even if strong as a cell phone can not fully realize all the features.
