Canon PowerShot SX210 IS
Competitors

As well as being compared against other travel zooms, the Canon PowerShot SX210 IS is also often compared to pro digicams, super zooms and compacts. The Canon PowerShot SX210 IS's top rivals come from Canon (such as the PowerShot SX230 HS and the PowerShot SX220 HS) and Panasonic (such as the Lumix DMC-ZS7 and the Lumix DMC-ZS10)

Generally, some of the advantages of the Canon SX210 IS compared to other travel zoom competitors include: it has a faster max shutter speed (1/3200 of a second vs 1/2500 of a second).

However, on average it has a slightly narrower wide angle lens (28 mm vs 25 mm), doesn't have a built-in GPS, records lower quality movies (720p @ 30fps vs 1080p @ 24fps), has a slightly lower resolution screen (230k dots vs 921k dots) and doesn't record high-speed movies (none vs 240 fps).
