The Real Estate Video Pros blog is proud to introduce our Technology Review segment. In the Technology Review, we will take a look at a variety of products and services as they relate to multimedia and the Real Estate industry. There will be some very exceptional products and services to grace our reviews, as well as some you would best avoid. Our goal is not to overload you with technical jargon and biased articles. Just to provide the bottom line and our recommendations as to the relevance towards a typical Real Estate professional. So without further delay lets kick off our first Technology Review by looking at the Canon Powershot series of digital cameras.

Digital cameras are essential to today's Real Estate industry. Any Realtor will confess that they take A LOT of pictures. To keep up with the rigors of the Real Estate industry your digital camera needs to be reliable, powerful and not break your budget at the same time. The Canon Powershot series offers a wide range of digital cameras that will fit a Realtor's needs. There will never be a need to have the most advanced models in the series and yet you should not sell yourself short by purchasing the cheapest model either. The best models usually are the "middle of the road" models that offer the quality and features that will help showcase your properties. Most cameras in this series have features such as the Image Stabilizer and Motion Detection to create the clearest and blur-free images you can get.

If you're looking for a good quality workhorse camera take a look at the Powershot A590 IS. It's a bit bulky, but if that doesn't bother you will be glad to know it has a solid 8.0 megapixel quality and a 4.0 digital zoom.

The Powershot SD770 IS is as sleek as it is powerful. 10 megapixel quality that is easy to use and can fit in your pocket. It suffers in zoom as it only has 3.0 digital, but you will rarely need a powerful zoom when taking property shots.

Pros: Great cameras that will last as long as you take care of them. Come with many features to ensure high quality pictures.
Cons: Can be a bit costly if you don't find a deal. Zooms are not too impressive.
REVP Recommendation: Highly recommended - Canon is a strong brand and if you need a digital camera take a look at the midrange Powershot series models.
