Awesome camera!
I bought this as a father's day gift for my dad, as his old canon was dying (and very out of date!). The price was better than anywhere else, and shipping was quick. My dad loves the camera. 20X optical zoom means he can take photos from almost any distance.

Canon PowerShot SX260 HS Review
Last year bridge cameras became overly popular because they had far reaching zooms and the DSLR look that appealed to most audiences. However, a sub-segment of cameras also started gaining popularity and this genre of cameras came to be known as travel compacts.

Canon PowerShot SX260 HS
Two common features are missing, though: high dynamic range (which combines several exposures to gain greater depth and detail) and in-camera panorama.

The Canon PowerShot SX260 is a travel zoom camera that packs a 20X zoom lens into a compact and stylish package. The lens is probably the highlight of the camera, with an impressive range of 25 - 500 mm. As with other cameras in this class, the lens is on the slow side, especially at full telephoto.
Pros:
- Very good photo quality for the compact ultra zoom category, Packs a 20X, 25 - 500 mm lens into a compact and stylish body, Optical image stabilization
- camera will select the appropriate IS mode for the situation, High resolution 3-inch LCD with very good outdoor and low light visibility, Built-in...
