Photography Blog ends up giving the Canon PowerShot SX30 IS a “Recommended” rating with an overall score of 4 out of 5 possible stars. The Canon compact scores highest on features where it gets a perfect score, a little lower on design and ease of use while the SX30 scores lowest on image quality and value for your money.
