Powerful 42x Optical Zoom with Optical Image Stabilizer for outstanding optical performance42x Optical Zoom (24–1008mm)Don't miss a moment with the versatility of the PowerShot SX420 IS camera's 42x Optical Zoom lens. It gives you a reach all the way from 24mm to 1008mm, which means if you're capturing your child playing sports at the far end of the field, you can still see his movements and expressions. A 24mm wide-angle lens enables easy capture of brilliant landscapes and large group portraits, and the Optical Image Stabilizer helps ensure you get clear and virtually noise-free images whether you're shooting near or far. Intelligent ISIntelligent IS analyzes camera movement and applies the ideal shake correction method for the shooting situation. For stills, the system selects from Normal IS, Panning IS, Macro (Hybrid) IS and Tripod modes. When shooting video, the system selects from Dynamic IS, Powered IS, Macro (Hybrid) IS and Active Tripod IS modes. With Intelligent IS, you can concentrate on image capture, letting the camera make effective IS settings to help capture a steady image. Still Image Shooting Normal IS Corrects for a wide range of camera movement when shooting stills. Panning IS Panning motion is detected so that IS does not interfere with desired camera movement. Macro (Hybrid) IS Corrects for shift-type camera shake, which typically occurs in macro (close-up) shooting. Tripod When tripod use is detected, the Image Stabilizer is stopped because it is not needed. Video Recording Dynamic IS Effective for video shooting at wide-angle focal lengths, eliminating the unwanted shaking that typically occurs while walking. Powered IS Compensates for hand movement when shooting video at the telephoto end of the zoom range, where camera shake is magnified. Macro (Hybrid) IS Corrects for motion blur that is likely to occur when shooting video while walking. Also compensates for the shift-type camera shake common in macro shooting. Active Tripod IS When shooting video while using a tripod, the Image Stabilizer is active to compensate for slight camera shake.

  • Small, portable, and absolutely AMAZING
Color: Black Style: Base
I came to Amazon looking for a camera to take on vacations and trips. I only ever use my iPhone for pictures, and wanted to invest in something slightly more professional that wouldn't break the bank. I am in no way a photographer, but this camera sure makes me feel like one. It's the perfect size for travelers, as it fits in your hand perfectly, as it's very small and portable. I think the picture quality is absolutely stunning. I can zoom into a tree from over 100 feet away and it looks as if I'm right in front of it! I haven't taken this camera on my trip to Europe yet, but will update and post the pictures I take once I do. I've mostly just played around with it, taking pictures of my dog or sister. I included a selfie to show the flash - that was taken in a pitch black room. I wasn't even sure it would come out clear, but wow! Look at the quality! One thing I would like to address is the wifi, which might be my favorite thing about this camera as a whole. I contemplated buying the Canon powershot SX410, which is a cheaper, slightly older version of this camera, but opted for this because of the wifi feature. I can't boast about it enough. I can take a picture of something, click on the wifi option on the camera, connect to the wifi from my phone, open the free camera app and send the picture directly from my camera to my iPhone. I can also delete that picture from the camera once I've saved it to my phone, so I'll never run out of space! The battery life is also very impressive and it seems to stay charged for a long time (another reason it's great for travelers). And the time it takes to fully charge the battery isn't long at all. I'm just a person who wanted a cool camera to take nice quality pictures. I'm not a photographer or anything near, but I love clean, crisp quality shots. If you want a small, portable camera that takes AMAZING quality pictures, has a KILLER zoom and flash, and has a wifi feature that allows you to share your pictures on social media in the matter of seconds after taking the picture, this is for you. This camera should be so much more expensive that it is because it's absolutely amazing. 10/10 recommend! ... show more

  • Great Camera at a Great Price
Color: Red Style: Base
I found this camera easy to use, which was great for someone not very tech savvy. The camera is light-weight and compact, so it won't get in the way and is easy to hold. I also find the wrist strap useful. The pictures are of great quality and the zoom features work very well. I was able to adjust the settings fairly quickly after learning how to use them. The owner's manual is well-written with pictures to easily aid in trouble-shooting. Overall, this is a great camera and I would recommend it to anyone looking to get a functional camera at a reasonable price. ... show more

  • Ready to use out of the box!
Color: Black Style: Base
I was surprised at how light weight it was and easy to use. The photos attached are my first outing with the camera, not bad pics! There are many options I haven't figured out yet, but then I haven't had time to read the instructions! Would buy again.

  • Perfect Point and Shoot
Color: Black Style: Base
First I bought a Coolpix which had wifi. I never could get the wifi to transfer pics to my iPad and the camera was too small and the controls too close to each other to operate the camera. After I found the Coolpix a new home, I bought this Powershot SX420. First, the camera is large enough to hold still and to operate the controls. I have arthritis, my hands are a little stiff but I can use this camera without any problem. The thumb rest beside the movie button didn't stop my thumb from sliding, so I put a small square of sticky back Velcro there to use for a thumb grip. Problem solved. The wifi is very easy set up. Pictures transfer painlessly to my pad or the photo printer. The long zoom makes the SX420 a great kayaking camera. Pictures of wildlife along the shoreline are very clear. This is a great little camera to have fun with when you're tired of your big camera that seems to take itself so seriously. ... show more

  • Picture transfer to Computer = Poor
Color: Black Style: Base
The camera itself takes good pictures, but then most cameras these days are just as good. This review is about only copying pictures from camera to Computer. Not dumb, stupid, and weak smartphones. Once you get the camera configured and connected to your Wireless network: 1. You have to press camera wireless button to connect. 2. You start the program on your computer to either import all or copy what you want. 3. You *can not* take pictures while connected to the computer. 4. On the camera now you have to disconnect from wireless, in order to take more pictures. This is completely unusable, it would be just as easy to take the SD card out of the camera and copy the files, or use a USB cable connected to the camera/computer. People don't care about cameras, people care about the pictures and copying pictures where they want them. 1. Getting pictures off the camera to a Computer is poor, it works but very inconvenient. 2. The defunct company Eye-Fi had this working better than any company I have found (ten years ago). 3. I never tested the Cloud based upload, nor the smartphone features. For those of you who have never seen or had an Eye-Fi wireless card: The process of getting pictures to your computer is incredibly simple: 1. Just turn the camera on and shoot pictures, a hundred if you like. The pictures just show up on your computer, without any interaction. Eye-Fi (now defunct), Originally the software for the eye-fi sucked just like all the rest as it was CLOUD based. But the final software they released (because they shut down their cloud service), was designed to connect to your computer directly using WiFi. It worked flawlessly. -Cheers ... show more
