The Canon PowerShot series is a product line of consumer and "prosumer" digital cameras by Canon, launched in 1996. The PowerShot line is one of the best-selling digital camera lines worldwide. The PowerShot line encompasses many varying series, from point-and-shoot consumer cameras to more advanced feature cameras, and often includes free camera control software.
The Canon PowerShot SX710 HS is a digital camera with Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity with a 30x Optical Zoom lens. It features a 20.3-megapixel high-sensitivity CMOS sensor and Canon's 6 Image Processor which are designed to create an enhanced low-light performance. The camera also features a 3-inch screen size with 922,000 screen dots. It has a maximum shutter speed of 1/3200 seconds. The PowerShot SX710 HS can also record 1080p full HD video at up to 60 frames per second through a dedicated movie button.
Some PowerShot models were affected by third-party CCD sensors with a design flaw which causes them to fail and display distorted images. Canon repairs cameras affected by this flaw for free.
Canon PowerShot cameras include the name “Canon” printed in white font on the front of the device. The model name and number are generally included in the bottom right-hand corner of the camera’s front. The Canon PowerShot SX710 HS includes the name "SX710 HS" in the lower right-hand corner of the camera's front face.
