Canon PowerShot SX30IS
$430.00
Released September, 2010
The Pros:35x zoom lens (equivalent to 24-840mm). Great bridge camera for the photography amateur wanting to step up to a more serious camera. Image stabilization system - up to 4.5 stops of improvement.
The Cons:Not a DSLR - lacks interchangeable lens, optical viewfinder, APS-C sized sensor, etc... Costs slightly more than the previous generation. Fairly large - the size and weight of an entry-level DSLR.
