這兩款新型橋梁照相機在一個合理的價格上專注于提供功能強大的變焦攝像頭。

佳能的PowerShot SX520和PowerShot SX400分別提供42x和30x的光學變焦攝像頭，配置在一個稍微重新設計的機身之中，擁有一個新的把手以方便使用。

佳能的PowerShot SX520在英國（UK）的八月推出，零售價為299英鎊。而PowerShot SX400 IS直到九月份才推出，而售價（獨家售價）為259英鎊。

佳能PowerShot SX520 HS特點：

佳能PowerShot SX520 HS照相機擁有一個42x光學變焦攝像頭，還有一個24mm的寬角鏡頭，和最大的1008mm的焦距，確保你能捕捉到遠處的行為。

它還擁有一個提升了的變焦鏡框自動協助模式（Zoom Framing Assist Auto mode），這很顯然能自動識別當一個物體移出鏡框的時候，從而自動調整變焦攝像頭從而重新將物體映入鏡頭之中。

和之前的版本相比，新版本可以慢速快門延遲，有提升了的算法，以及一個修改了的自動聚焦系統。

SX520 HS裝有佳能的獲得表揚的HS系統，是DIGIC 4 Plus處理引擎和1600萬像素的背照式CMOS傳感器。

你也可以用SX520 HS記錄完整的1080pHD的電影，并且使用這款橋梁相機的創意拍攝鏡頭，這里添加了有快門按鍵的五個額外的鏡頭，每一個都可添加一個創意拍攝效果。

不同于SX400 IS，更貴的PowerShot SX520 HS也擁有一套完整的手動模式供消費者使用。

佳能PowerShot SX400 IS特點：

這兩款新的橋梁相機中的更便宜的一款，即佳能PowerShot SX400 IS擁有一個30x光學變焦攝像頭和一個24-720mm的焦距范圍。

它有一個1600萬的CCD傳感器，并且作為一個更大的兄弟產品，它也同樣擁有一個DIGIC 4 Plus圖像處理傳感器。

在這些之外，PowerShot SX400 IS又添加了一些個性化的東西：它有一系列的濾光鏡，包括魚眼效果（fisheye effect）。

你也可以用SX400儲存720p HD的電影。（欲了解更多前沿資訊看，請關注中國進出口網：www.erdostxps.com)

Canon has launched two new bridge cameras, the Canon PowerShot SX520 HS and Canon PowerShot SX400 IS. 

The two new bridge cameras are focused on offering powerful zooms on a reasonable budget.

Canon’s PowerShot SX520 and PowerShot SX400 offer 42x and 30x optical zooms respectively, packaged within a slightly redesigned body with a new handgrip for ease of use. 

The Canon PowerShot SX520 HS is available in the UK in August, retailing for £299. The PowerShot SX400 IS won’t be available until September and will be an Argos exclusive priced at £259. 

Canon PowerShot SX520 HS Features
The Canon PowerShot SX520 HS features a 42x optical zoom with a 1008mm maximum focal length for making sure you capture the action in the distance. 

It comes with an improved Zoom Framing Assist Auto mode, which apparently automatically detects when a subject is moving out of frame and readjusts the zoom to keep it in focus. 

Both model have low-shutter lag, improved algorithms over the previous models and a revamped AutoFocus system. 

The SX520 HS is fitted with Canon’s acclaimed HS system, combining the DIGIC 4 Plus processing engine and a 16-megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor. 

You can record full 1080p HD movies with the SX520 HS too, and utilise the bridge camera’s Creative Shot, which adds five additional shots with each shutter press, each with a different creative effect added. 

Unlike the SX400 IS, the more expensive PowerShot SX520 HS has a full manual mode to play with as well.

Canon PowerShot SX400 IS Features
The cheaper of the two new bridge cameras, the Canon PowerShot SX400 IS has a 30x optical zoom and offers a 720mm focal range. 

It features a 16-megapixel CCD sensor and the same Canon DIGIC 4 Plus image processing sensor as its bigger brother. 

For those looking to add a little personalisation to their shots, the SX400 IS has a range of creative filters, including a fisheye effect. 

You’ll be able to record 720p HD movies with the SX400 too.
