The PowerShot S60 is the successor of the S50 and stretch in the rectangular 'brick design of this PowerShot-series. Differently than the name want to suspect, contain the apparatus no 6-megapixel sensor; Canon holds it on the familiar 5-MP CCD.

Well new is the 3,6x optical edge lens, that an equivalent reach gives of 28, until 100 mm on a small image camera. The maximum diafragma goes from f/2.8 in large corner till f/5.3 in count; the minimal diafragma is f/8.

The S60 is a little smaller and lighter than its predecessor, but lies even good in the hand. Also the administration of the Last Sacraments buttons have been changed, through which the camera is to be used easier. The S60 offers different recording positions: complete automatic, program position, sluitertijd- or diafragmakeuze, manueel or five presets for among many portrait and landscape.

There are only eager nine institutions for the witbalans, below which an 'onderwatermodus' - only think to it that you a separate waterproof housing necessarily have as you with the S60 want to go dive.

Photographs measure at most 2,592 x 1,944 pixels and can be raised in JPEG-size (with three different compressiefactoren) or as an ongecomprimeerd RAW-truce for post production.

In use is the camera very fast; he start almost immediately on and stilt very fast edge. The recording delay amounts to on average a half second. Our testfoto's show beautiful, full colors and eyes very clearly.

If we had can take up the S60 in the camera file from the june number of PC Magazine, theof the better apparatuses in that test would have been.
