Despite housing a massive 14x optical zoom, the SX210 IS is a very compact camera - and as part of this new generation of ultra-zoom point and shoot cameras, its zoom performance is actually very good.

The LCD on the rear is large and bright - and works fairly well in direct sunlight - which is just as well, because the camera lacks an optical viewfinder."

The Control wheel is very well designed, with a high edge around the perimeter with fairly sharp cuts for a good grip."

My initial impression is that Sony has done an admirable job of creating an interface to make the camera usable by the uninitiated, yet also with sufficient access so that the more serious user doesn't feel as if they're wading through molasses."

I have to say that I was very impressed with the camera's small size. "

Menu navigation: The cameras are perfect for quick snapshooting, but not as convenient when advanced features are used. "

"
|
The screen can be tilted too, useful for composing shots when the camera is held at a high level or low level."
|
|
|

|
"
|
Basic operation is very simple using a graphical interface with icons, a short description of each feature plus a full Help guide."

Sony seems to have the slowest battery chargers on the planet, with this one taking 250 minutes to fully charge the NP-FW50. "

ISO 12,800 suddenly looks quite good at 5x7, a surprise considering how much it seems degraded onscreen."

You can print extremely sharp prints at larger sizes than most people print (above 11x14 and up) from ISO 200 to 3,200 without a worry at all."

We were surprised by the NEX-3's good image quality at all ISOs, and its printed quality was remarkable. "

The NEX-3 has a huge ISO range of 200 to 12800; even cranked up to 1600, photos taken at a nighttime softball game illuminated by just overhead lights showed very little noise, and the camera was able to freeze the action on the field. "

Even ISO 3200 was suitable for very good letter-size prints."
