About this model
The Canon PowerShot SX600 HS is a compact travel zoom that slips into a pocket but packs an 18x optical zoom lens, covering 25–450mm equivalent – wide enough for landscapes and long enough for distant subjects. Its 16-megapixel CMOS sensor and DIGIC 4+ processor deliver detailed images and 1080p Full HD video. Built-in Wi-Fi with NFC lets you transfer photos to a smartphone or tablet using the Canon CameraWindow app, and the 3-inch LCD makes framing and playback easy. Smart Auto mode selects the right settings for the scene, while creative filters add fun effects. It's a great choice for holidays and everyday shooting when you want more reach than a phone.
