Camera Overview — Canon SX220 HS

The Canon PowerShot SX220 HS is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a 12MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor paired with Canon's DIGIC 4 image processor. It covers an ISO range of 100 to 3200, giving shooters flexibility across a range of lighting conditions. The camera features Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) to help reduce camera shake during handheld shooting.

On the back, a 3.0-inch LCD display with a resolution of 461,000 dots provides a clear view for composing shots and reviewing images. For action and fast-moving subjects, the SX220 HS supports burst shooting at up to 8.1 frames per second. Video capture includes a slow-motion mode at 240fps alongside standard 24fps recording, both in sRGB color.

Autofocus is handled via a contrast detection system. The camera body is constructed from metal and measures 103.5 x 61.0 x 31.7 mm, weighing in at 221g — compact enough for everyday carry. Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards.

Connectivity includes USB, though there is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The Lithium-Ion battery is rated for approximately 210 shots per charge. Color output is in sRGB for both stills and video.
