About the Canon PowerShot SX240 HS
The Canon PowerShot SX240 HS, released in February 2012, is a long-zoom compact with a 1/2.3-inch BSI-CMOS sensor of about 12 megapixels. Its 20x optical lens covers 25-500 mm in 35mm-equivalent terms at F3.5-6.8, giving a wide starting view for interiors and landscapes with reach for faraway subjects.
The body is 106 x 61 x 33 mm and weighs about 224 g, which is chunkier than slim compacts but sensible for the lens it carries. The 3-inch monitor handles framing and review. Power comes from the NB-6L battery, and files are saved to SD, SDHC or SDXC cards. At full zoom the aperture narrows, so good light and a steady grip help keep telephoto frames crisp. It is a flexible one-camera travel companion for those who want a long lens in a body that still fits a small bag.
Buying one used
Check that the NB-6L battery holds a charge, extend the 20x lens fully for smooth, quiet motion, and inspect the 3-inch screen for damage. Test an SD, SDHC or SDXC card for dependable saving.
