  • PositiveSehr viel Zoom
  • PositiveSolide Ausstattung
  • PositiveSerienlänge unbegrenzt
  • NegativeBildstabilisator wird Zoom kaum Herr
  • NegativeAusstattung deckt nur Grundbedarf ab
  • NegativeBildqualität nimmt mit Zoomstufe rapide ab

Die Canon PowerShot SX720 HS gewährt im Test mit ihrem optischen 40fach-Zoom große Flexibilität bei der Motivwahl. Allerdings führt so viel Zoomleistung zur sichtbaren Verschlechterung der Bildqualität. Ausstattung und Geschwindigkeit siedeln sich vergleichsweise im niedrigeren Bereich an. Gemessen am Preis passt?s aber.

    Noch gute, kleine Kompaktkamera mit manuellen Funktionen, Superzoom und Netzwerkfunktion. Guter Monitor, grundlegende Handgriffe funktionieren einfach, für eine Kamera mit starkem Zoom ausgesprochen leicht und flach.

    Die Aufnahmen im Freien sind in Ordnung. In der Standardeinstellung könnten sie noch etwas mehr Schärfe vertragen. Die Farben sind wie von Canon gewohnt sehr realitätsnah und ansprechend. Die 20,3 Megapixel sind zwar gut fürs Marketing, doch physikalisch kommt der kleine Bildsensor damit an den Anschlag...
