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

I love the true color of this camera! Its an amazing buy, Its super easy to upload the pictures to your computer and super easy to use as well. The zoom could be better but that's about the only thing I could say to make this camera better!!! I take this everywhere. I also recommend getting a case to carry it in for the cameras protection. I also got extra batteries for it as well. ... 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

  • Good Camera
Color: Black Style: Base
I love this little camera. The zoom is amazing. It's not the best in low light, such as indoors, but outdoors it works fine. I have not printed any pictures yet but the shots look fine on the monitor and on my computer. The battery drained faster than I expected. Apparently the trick is to minimize monitor usage. Unfortunately, there is no viewfinder. It does not take panorama shots or have forced flash in AUTO mode. I haven't used the manual mode(s). The video works fine. This is a good, little, point and shoot super-zoom camera. Cheaper ones used AA batteries. I wanted a camera with a rechargeable battery pack, so I spent a little more. Plus I got extra zoom power (i.e., 42x) and 20 MP resolution. I assume that the more expensive cameras are better but this one will be fine for hiking and vacations. ... show more

  • Display screen needs a lot of improvement.
Color: Red Style: Base
I gave this all 3s because every function you use is reflected on a poor quality display screen. It really could be better. Your prints turn out really nice. But the display shot loses trueness to be able to capture some things. The app is useless. I do not use. It's a nice camera for outside shots and vacation scenic daylight. But the screen again is hard to see. Would have preferred a view finder instead of a view screen. ... show more
