A good travel camera. Compact good performance and good photos.
I have had one of these for a few months for use when travelling. I wanted a compact camera with good zoom capability and resolution. The SX 260 does the job quite nicely.

Canon PowerShot SX260 HS Digital Camera Review
For under $500 the Canon Powershot SX260 does more than you'd expect. It has many unique features that set it aside from other similar priced models such as GPS and iFrame Video. It has the highest build quality and the highest quality materials.

Canon PowerShot SX260 HS
The Canon PowerShot SX260 HS replaces last year's SX230 HS , updating its lens from a 14x 28mm wide-angle lens to a 20x 25mm ultrawide-angle one. It keeps the 12-megapixel backside-illuminated CMOS sensor, but gets the new Digic 5 image processor, which helps it shoot in bursts up to 10 frames per...
Pros:
- The Canon PowerShot SX260 HS has shooting modes for every type of photographer from casual to advanced
- a useful long zoom lens with excellent image stabilization
- and overall excellent photo and video quality for a compact megazoom
Cons:
- The SX260 HS' menus and controls can take some getting used to
- it's got a short battery life
- and photos get noticeably softer-looking indoors or in low light

Great Camera!
I was looking for a camera that has the same feature with the g11 without the bulk and weight. Product is user friendly. An advanced point and shoot but easier and less complicated than a g11. This is a good camera for people who want to learn and play around manual settings due to simpler settings.
Pros:
- Advance point and shoot
- Easy To Use
- Fast/accurate auto-focus
- Good Image Quality
- Good Image Stabilization
- Good in Low Light
- Great Zoom
- Large Clear LCD
- Lightweight heavy feature
- Manual Settings
- Nice Body Color
- Short Lag Time
- Small / Compact
Cons:
- No view finder

Pros:
- Easy to use
- Optical zoom works on video
- Vibrant
- colourful images
Cons:
- High-ish price
- Average battery life
