Canon PowerShot SX230 HS

The Canon PowerShot SX230 HS was the flagship pocket superzoom of 2011 and remains one of the best-featured cameras of its class. A 12.1 megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor — Canon's HS System, built specifically for low light — sits behind a 14x stabilised zoom reaching from 28mm to 392mm, with full manual exposure, built-in GPS that geotags every frame, and proper 1080p video. DPReview rated its high-ISO performance excellent and recommended it for travel, which is still exactly what it is for. This example is near mint and comes complete with battery, charger, card and pouch.

The most complete and most capable camera in this batch, and the only one here with a CMOS sensor rather than a CCD — which means cleaner high-ISO files and real Full HD video, at the cost of the crunchier CCD colour some people are specifically after. Near mint, with battery, charger, card and pouch already in the box, so there is nothing else to buy. A genuine one-camera travel kit.
