hi I'm Josh Goldman with CNET and this is a look at canons compact 30x zoom the Powershot SX 510 HS now if you follow canons cameras closely you might be saying yourself self I've seen that before and you'd be right it's basically the same camera as last year's SX 500 is same lens same body many of the same features Canon did however update the sensor from a lower-end CCD type sensor to one of its high sensitivity 12 megapixel BSI CMOS sensors the sensor gives it better overall photo quality but especially in low-light performance and enables the camera to record video at 1080p 24 frames per second again the rest of the camera is pretty much the same although you do get Wi-Fi in this model and you still get lots of shooting options including full manual and manual controls the 3-inch LCD is good and the grip has this nice notch out so you can get a good hold on it and to help you with your framing when you're using the zoom there's this button on the side of the lens that shoots the lens back so you can find your subject and then zoom back in all in all not a bad package if you're doing your shooting outdoors and your subjects aren't looking too fast I'm Josh Goldman and that's the Canon Powershot SX 510 HS
