Canon SX620 HS Zoom Test: Capturing the Moon with a Compact Camera

Canon SX620 HS Zoom Test: Capturing the Moon with a Compact Camera

Capturing the moon in vivid detail might seem like a task reserved for professional gear. But with the Canon PowerShot SX620 HS, a compact Japanese camera, you can achieve stunning lunar shots—all from the palm of your hand.

This photo is part of our Canon SX620 HS zoom test, taken at night using the camera’s powerful 25x optical zoom, which extends to an impressive 50x digital zoom. The results speak for themselves: clear craters, defined edges, and no telescope needed.

Why the Canon SX620 HS Stands Out

• 25x Optical Zoom (25–625mm equivalent): Ideal for moon photography, birdwatching, and travel scenes.

• Compact & Lightweight: Easy to carry at just 182g—perfect for spontaneous zoom tests like this.

• Intelligent IS (Image Stabilization): Keeps your zoomed-in shots sharp even without a tripod.

• Wireless Sharing: Quickly upload your zoom test photos to your phone or social media via Wi-Fi.
