![]() That particular cap still fits and it's most likely that the SX510 HS isn't in the Bridge section because of the lack of raw recording. The Canon PowerShot SX510 HS is styled like a bridge camera and has manual control, yet Canon have placed it outside this category and instead placed it in the Superzoom section. However, the ISO sensitivity has been raised from ISO 1600 to ISO 3200. Still, in our review of the SX500 we got noise showing through at the low ISO settings, so hopefully, this change in sensor will obviate the noise problem. On top of that is the back-illuminated technology to increase low light sensitivity and the change from a CCD which records sharper images, to a more fuel efficient – but softer – CMOS. The Canon PowerShot SX510 HS has a 12.1 megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor which is a 4 million pixel drop in resolution from the 16 megapixel CCD we saw in the SX500. ![]() One area that has changed is in the sensor. That's a disappointing discovery as the lens quality on the SX500 HS wasn't that good, with chromatic aberrations and some lens distortion at wide-angle. In fact, the entire lens system is identical down to the same amount of lenses in the same amount of groups. The zoom isn't any larger or smaller than the previous model – the SX500 HS. Of course, this is because of the 30x optical zoom lens stuck out the front of an otherwise slim body. ![]() ![]() There's also a USB cable and a neck strap for the camera because it's slightly larger than a typical digital compact camera. Underneath all this was the camera surrounded by the accessories included such as a lithium ion battery, charger and mains cable. We opened the lid of the Canon PowerShot SX510 HS and removed the paperwork which includes a Getting Started guide, warranty, promotional leaflets and CD which includes a full manual and photo editing software. One of the most exciting things about opening the box of a camera that is a follow on from a previous model is checking what the physical and technological differences/upgrades are. The Canon PowerShot SX510 HS is available in black only. Can it stand up to our rigorous testing regime? Priced at £229 / $249, we hope so. That's a lot of technology inside a body that is 75% lens. The Canon PowerShot SX510 HS is a super-zoom digital compact camera featuring a 30x optical zoom, 12.1 megapixel CMOS sensor, DIGIC 4 processor, optical image stabiliser, FullHD video, wifi connectivity and GPS location tagging. ![]()
