The Canon PowerShot SX620 HS can hold its own in the test as a handy everyday camera with a large zoom. The uncomplicated operation scores points, as do the numerous creative and scene programmes. The image quality only scores in daylight. Meanwhile, autofocus and continuous shooting could work faster.
