  • 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

  • Good Camera for Travel
Color: Black Style: Base
I bought the Canon SX420 IS camera to take with me on trips where I fly to a destination. I have a DSLR and lenses I use at other times, but unless I am specifically flying somewhere to take photos, it is too much to carry with me. This camera does a fine job, once you get the hang of it. Pros: - Small, packs into carry on luggage, lightweight, comfortable in the hand - Good images in bright light with very good color balance and moderate sharpness. - Very good optical zoom Cons: - Sometimes the light metering doesn't get it right, especially in backlit situations. - Sometimes has difficulty focusing, especially at high zooms - Images quickly become grainy at high zooms or in low light (not surprising with this size lens) - Lacks some modes like aperture priority it could easily have with just additional firmware Other: - Hard to see back display in bright light, but that is not unique to this camera - Battery life could be better, but this is an easy fix, just buy a couple of more batteries On my first trip, I took a couple of hundred pictures with it, mostly outdoors in good light. I find the AE ("P") mode to be the best along with auto everything else and evaluative metering. I thought I would miss the lack of aperture priority and shutter priority modes, but since it has a relatively small aperture range, I am not sure how much those would help. The results I got when reviewed on a computer were quite good. The color balance appears very good and the sharpness reasonably good. I have read other reviewers saying the images are so poor they returned the camera. I think that means they are overly picky, had higher expectations than they should have for this type of camera, and/or they don't know how to use a camera. While some may think of it as a "point and shoot" that doesn't mean you will always get the best results if you just point it and push the shutter button. Learn how to better control the focus to get better results. I suggest using the smallest focus area, single shot as opposed to continuous auto-focus, and learn how to push the shutter button halfway to get the focus at the distance you want before shooting. Even DSLR and high-end mirrorless cameras will focus on the wrong thing (often the closest object in the focus area) if used incorrectly. As a side benefit, using single shot auto-focus will significantly extend battery life. If you want a small flexible-use camera that you can take along with you to get some decent shots, this is a good choice. Edit: I added a couple of examples of unaltered photos from a recent trip to show what the camera can do. Update 6/11/2021: This camera is a memory card killer. I have now had it somehow "read lock" 2 32GB memory cards, and there is nothing to do with the cards except throw them in the trash. NO, it is not the switch on the card, checked and double-checked. Even low level disk management Linux commands cannot reformat the cards once they are in this state. ... show more

  • 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
