Comments about Canon PowerShot SX260 HS Digital Camera, Black:

I luv Canon cameras.They always feel well constructed & comfortable in my hands, even with the older film DSL cameras.This is my 4th digital point&shoot(3 Canons).I wanted a compact camera with extended zoom for vacation.I was willing to give up RAW format due to the 12 megapixels.I ordered/received it quickly with only 2-days before leaving on my trip.A couple of disappointments: no printed manual & I was not going to print 200+ pages to carry.So, a quick read & glad I was familiar with most Canon settings.I had to use a neck strap from an older camera to supplement the wrist strap that was included.Overall, glad to have this camera.Great images.Great wide-angle & optical zoom.ISO/shutter combo was great for action & low-light (moving bus, birds in flight, museums).I missed having a viewfinder especially in bright sunlight & without that option the battery runs out quicker.I used two full batteries most days & wished I had brought a third.Glad that they only took a couple of hours to recharge each night.The optional small focus/exposure block was not comparable to a spot focus.I had frequent difficulty getting proper exposures without taking the extra time for resetting the exposure compensation.The flash position is awkward especially when it pops out unintentionally (see next comment).The selection wheel is overly sensitive (i.e. caused flash options to interrupt Manual Focus distance adjustments).Also, Manual focus distance settings do not remain constant (i.e. wanting infinity for shooting out a bus window but it constantly reset itself to closer distances).These were frustrating & caused shooting delays.Still miss the shutter responsiveness of film cameras.The pros definitely outweigh the cons.Canon is still a brand that I trust.I am looking forward to continued progress down the road for camera number 5 in a few more years.

This is my third Canon, all three of which I still own. I needed something for longer zooms and for night shots as well as for sunrises. By putting the setting on LIFE, I get GREAT SUNRISES!

Comments about Canon PowerShot SX260 HS Digital Camera, Black:

I wanted a camera easy to use and understand. The manual is easy to understand. I wish that the battery could be charged inside the camera. I bought an extra battery so that I would not hap upon a picture and there be no battery power. It fits in the camera case I already possess; therefore, there was no need for me to purchase a camera bag. The strap is functional for those, like me, who seem to drop everything they get their hands on. In all, it was an ideal purchase . . . plus it was on sale and I had a coupon.

Comments about Canon PowerShot SX260 HS Digital Camera, Black:

I bought this for a trip down under. I wanted a small camera with the ability to take wild life & scenery from a distance.
The zoom is wonderful and it is very easy to use. It has many advanced features but also works well on automatic.
You can get 5000+ photos on a 32 gb. card. It also includes an external battery charger.
The flash is in an awkward place but most of my use is outdoors anyway. The pictures are crisp, clear, and vibrant.
I own a Canon SLR camera, fax, and multi-function printer/scanner/fax. I have found their products well made and reliable.
