About the Canon SX400 IS
The Canon PowerShot SX400 IS is a lightweight compact ultrazoom camera built for travel and everyday shooting. Its 30x optical zoom lens covers a huge range from wide-angle to super-telephoto, letting you capture everything from landscapes to distant subjects. The 16-megapixel sensor delivers detailed images, while Intelligent IS helps keep shots sharp when zoomed in or in low light. A 3-inch LCD screen makes framing easy, and the camera records 720p HD video. Powered by two AA batteries, it is convenient for trips where charging may be limited. The SX400 IS is a straightforward, versatile choice for anyone wanting a long zoom without the bulk of a DSLR.
