The  SX520 HS manages to squeeze a 42x lens (24-1,008mm equivalent) into a  similar form factor. With a lens this long it's easy to lose a moving  subject, so Canon has included a Zoom Framing Assist function that will  zoom out a bit with a touch of a button and zoom back in to the previous  position when you've reacquired your target. It also adds Creative  Shot, which captures several filtered and cropped versions of a photo  along with an unaltered version, but it omits built-in Wi-Fi. The SX520 HS uses a 16-megapixel  1/2.3-inch CMOS image sensor and a Digic 4+ image processor to capture  photos. It doesn't include an EVF, but does have a handgrip that's  deeper than you'll find in most compacts. The rear LCD is 3 inches in  size with a 460k-dot resolution, which is par for the course in this  class. Its lens is optically stabilized, which is useful when recording  stills and 1080p30 HD video. <img src="http://www3.pcmag.com/media/images/436142-canon-powershot-sx400-is.jpg?thumb=y" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The PowerShot SX400 IS isn't quite as  feature laden. It also boasts a 16-megapixel resolution, but its  1/2.3-inch image sensor is a CCD. That limits video capability to 720p,  and while we haven't had a chance to perform lab tests, CCD sensors  generally don't do as well in low light as CMOS chips. Its lens is a 30x  (24-720mm) design that covers just as wide of an angle as the SX520,  but doesn't quite zoom in to the same level.  The SX400 IS also uses a Digic 4+ image  processor, but it doesn't support Creative Shot. It also omits Wi-Fi,  which has been a common feature on most recent PowerShot cameras. The SX520 HS is priced at $399.99 and is  set to go on sale in September. The SX400 IS is less expensive at  $249.99, and will be available in August.</blockquote>
