Canon PowerShot SD600 / Ixus 60 review at imaging resource

canon powershot sd600 reviewThe Canon PowerShot SD600 digital camera, also known as the Ixus 60, has been reviewed at imaging resource. The PowerShot SD600 is a compact digital camera with 6 megapixels resolution, a 3 times optical zoom, and a large 2.5 inch LCD. Like all current PowerShot models, the SD600 is also capable of recording high speed action with up to 60 frames per second in movie mode, albeit with a reduced resolution of 320×240 pixels.

The review summary:
“Along with providing solid image quality in regular lighting conditions with good color and accurate skin tones, the SD600 incorporates many of Canon’s technological advances for shooting with high ISOs. Boasting an ISO 800 setting is one thing — several rivals have also started offering these ISO levels and higher — but Canon backs up this ISO sensitivity rating with real, usable results. […] Canon’s DIGIC II processors continue to produce great results in a number of areas, particularly by nearly eliminating shutter lag when you pre-focus. As I’ve said before in this review, if you want a slightly snazzier looking Digital ELPH with a larger screen, spend the extra $50 and buy the SD630 which has a 3-inch screen compared to the SD600’s 2.5-inch display. These minor quibbles shouldn’t prevent you from considering the SD600 though, which is an excellent camera in its own right, and deserving of a Dave’s Pick.”
