|
In additional PowerShot SX60 HS has a Compact CMOS sensor with size of 6 x 5 mm² (0.24″ x 0.18″). Also PowerShot SX60 HS’s image sensor has an effective resolution of around 16 megapixel. That’s roughly average and will be sufficient for most purposes. Photos with this resolution can easily be printed to A3 or A2 size. The Canon does not support recording RAW images. RAW images are stored as they come from the sensor, without any in-camera processing or sharpening. Converting to JPEG or other formats takes place on the computeand involves one extra processing step but will almost always result in superior image quality. |

| Auto Focus Properties | |
|
The PowerShot SX60 HS’s auto focus processor uses 9 AF points (or sensors). A basic rule of thumb says that the more AF points you have, the better. More AF points mean a better chance to have a point at the location of interest in a scene, a big plus in challenging situations (e.g. in low light). Manual focus is also possible with the Canon, a plus in tricky situations or for some creative freedom. |
