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

Canon PowerShot SX260 HS review
You're probably familiar with the saying "Jack of all trades, master of none." The PowerShot SX260 HS blows that idea out of the water. This is a pocket megazoom that does a lot of things and masters quite a few of them, providing excellent overall image and video quality, easy-to-use controls for...

Canon PowerShot SX260 HS review
The Canon PowerShot SX260 HS is a thoroughly competent snapshot camera. It packs in all the essentials for anyone looking for a camera that, if you're not bothered about interchangeable lenses, is suitable for committing a wide range of subjects to card, yet can still be squeezed into a pocket.
Pros:
- Easy to use
- Optical zoom works on video
- Vibrant
- colourful images
Cons:
- High-ish price
- Average battery life

Canon PowerShot SX260 HS review
It's been five years since Canon launched its PowerShot SX series of family superzooms. SX cameras were designed to offer big lens performance at a more affordable price than traditional high-end superzooms, without skimping on features and functions.

Canon PowerShot SX260 HS
The SX260 HS is small, well designed and, for point and shoot snappers, performs a treat too. But in such a hotly contested market place it could do with that little bit more oomph to really take it to the next level: we'd like to see a touchscreen with edge-to-edge focus control in the future.
Pros:
- Among the best/most detailed shots in its class
- big zoom in a small body
- well priced for a Canon (often holds a price premium)
- ease of use
Cons:
- Limited AF selection in manual modes
- no touchscreen
- chromatic aberrations visible (colour fringing)
- 500mm max aperture is f/6.8
- no raw files

In terms of street price, there's a wafer thin mint between the Canon SX260 HS and the Panasonic TZ30 (the Canon is currently a little cheaper). But the longer zoom range, versatile exposure modes, ease of use and picture quality make the Canon PowerShot SX260 HS a slightly more well-rounded and...

- Good Image Quality
- Good Image Stabilization
Cons:
- Short Battery Life

My attention was drawn to this camera due to it having a manual focus option. It handled this well, and I was then pleasantly surprised to discover just how many other features it had.
Pros:
- Manual Focus
- Crisp Detail
- Wide Variety of Features (eg Face recognition
- Colour Accent
- Tilt Shift mode
- control of the exposure triangle
Cons:
- Flash in an inconvenient spot and mode selection wheel a little stiff
