The 65x zoom of the PowerShot SX70 HS with support for expanding to an impressive 2,730mm 35mm film equivalent with Canon ZoomPlus is ideal for long-range shooting. Enough focal length for any scene – from a concert or graduation ceremony to a detailed shot of a distant landscape. 0 cm macro mode lets you focus on subjects that are almost touching the lens: you can easily capture the smallest details of a wristwatch dial, a fine meal or a wildflower. Zoom Framing Assist with locking feature helps keep your moving subject in frame at long focal lengths – handy when shooting fast-paced sports or wildlife.
Classic DSLR-style ergonomics and a high-resolution OLED electronic viewfinder give you confident control and precise framing control, especially useful when shooting on the move or from the crowd at a popular landmark.
The Canon PowerShot SX70 HS is packed with advanced, ultra-fast DIGIC 8 processing, recording high-resolution images and 4K Ultra High Definition video at 10fps continuous shooting. The autofocus system is responsive and adaptable: continuous autofocus even in low light and at 5.7fps continuous shooting – so you can capture any spontaneous moment with ease.
The DIGIC 8 processor also supports 4K Ultra HD video, including 4K interval shooting and 4K video extraction. Preserve memories of stunning locations and special moments in life in the highest resolution.
An enhanced 1/2.3Megapixel CMOS sensor delivers 20.3Mpixels – 25% more than its predecessor, the SX60 HS, which delivers 16.1Mpixels. Capture images with incredible detail and saturation. Also, thanks to the improved sensor, you’ll be able to print beautiful photos in the large format that precious family memories deserve, and proudly hang those prints on the wall.
In addition to crisp JPEGs, the Canon PowerShot SX70 HS supports uncompressed RAW image storage, giving you unlimited possibilities for professional editing.
Synchronizing images and video with smartphones and tablets, Windows computers and Mac1 has never been easier, with automatic image transfer and synchronization via Canon Camera Connect iOS/Android and Image Transfer Utility 2 for Windows and Mac computers. The PowerShot SX70 HS also supports remote shooting control from your smartphone2 in Live View mode. That means no more family portraits with someone missing.
