Capture It All The fact that the PowerShot SX260 HS digital camera is an ultra-slim camera with a powerful 20x Optical Zoom, Optical Image Stabilization and 25mm Wide-Angle lens is only the beginning of its attractions. You'll see detail you never thought possible through the huge zoom and wide-angle lens, while the camera's 12.1 Megapixel High-Sensitivity CMOS Sensor and DIGIC 5 Image Processor deliver the rich, clear low-light performance that is the hallmark of Canon's HS SYSTEM. 1080p Full HD video in stereo is more beautiful than ever, with new high-resolution, high-speed processing. Sophisticated advancements include improved Smart AUTO that optimizes settings for 58 predefined shooting situations, Face ID that prioritizes pre-registered faces, and GPS for tracking and recording your shooting locations.

But because its lens embodies the quality and legacy of Genuine Canon Optics, its advantages go far beyond making the camera slim enough to slip in your pocket and carry anywhere. With a range of 25mm - 500mm (35mm equivalent), the lens gives you the power to capture the full breadth of scenes, with details you've never captured before. Images are bright and vivid with spectacular clarity thanks to Optical Image Stabilization.   Optical Image Stabilizer - Handheld shooting can often lead to camera shake, making photos and videos blurry. Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer is a sophisticated system that uses lens-shift technology to correct for unwanted camera movement. It makes handheld photography more practical, providing excellent image quality in many difficult shooting situations. With camera shake and vibration reduced, you get a sharper, steadier image. And because it is an optical system, there is none of the image degradation typical with electronic image stabilizers.   Canon HS SYSTEM - The Canon HS SYSTEM lets you take bright, clear photos in an even wider range of shooting situations. Beautiful low-light shots are possible with minimal noise and maximum detail in highlight and shadow areas. The system is the result of two technologies brought together in PowerShot cameras: a high-sensitivity imaging sensor, which is able to capture more light; and the DIGIC 5 Image Processor, which actively reduces noise with high-speed image processing.   Canon DIGIC 5 Image Processor - The latest-generation Canon DIGIC 5 Image Processor brings phenomenal increases in processing speed and power. Enhancements include improved chip architecture and algorithms, improved noise reduction and enhanced i-Contrast performance. The faster processing speed also results in faster continuous shooting capability. The DIGIC 5 Image Processor also makes possible a new, highly advanced automatic white balance system.   Canon Full HD Video Advantage - In addition to the Canon HS SYSTEM, the combination of the advanced CMOS sensor and DIGIC 5 Image Processor in the PowerShot SX260 HS makes it possible to shoot crisp, clear high definition video. In addition to being able to shoot Full HD 1080p video at 24(23.976) frames per second, the PowerShot SX260 HS can also shoot 720p HD video at 30 (29.97) frames per second.   Dedicated Movie Button, Wind filter feature and Optical Zoom for easy video capture - The PowerShot SX260 HS has a dedicated movie button that lets you start and stop recording instantly. The PowerShot SX260 HS also incorporates an electronic wind filter, which suppresses wind noise that can muffle or distort the sound. The PowerShot SX260 HS also lets you use the full range of optical zoom when you're shooting a video.   iFrame - With the PowerShot SX260 HS, you can also shoot video in the Apple® iFrame format. It keeps file sizes small, making it more convenient to upload or e-mail high-quality videos.   Smart AUTO - Smart AUTO for the PowerShot SX260 HS has been significantly expanded, making it easier than ever to capture the sharp, bright, colorful images - and videos - you're looking for. By assessing various factors in both the background and the subject, the system recognizes 58 predefined shooting situations.   GPS Technology - The PowerShot SX260 HS digital camera is equipped with Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. Now you can travel the world and let the camera automatically record the locations and local times of your stills and videos.

"haven't played around with it too much, but took some hand held long distant pics that were unbelievable! Loads of features and settings, but not to complex."

Not responsive

Pros: image quality, zoom
Cons: shutter lag
Model Number: powershot sx260hs
"The image quality is fantastic, probably due to great sensor and lens
the zoom range is great
the biggest problem with most point and clicks is the time between pressing the shutter button and the camera taking the shot - this is not to be confused with shutter speed (from shutter open to shutter close, which are miniscule times) - but rather the time from pressing the button to when the shutter opens. This is really the most important aspect of a point and shoot - it determines whether you get the shot or miss it. The image quality continues to improve, but this doesn't.
It's related to the time it takes for the camera to focus, so I try pre-focusing (button halfway down) and also set the focus to Servo (shoot when I tell you to, not when you think you're ready), but I still get a lag most of the time - which then means the shot I wanted is now gone.
I had hoped by now this had improved substantially, but I really couldn't notice any improvement in the latency"

Good and Bad

Pros: good quality photos and great zoom
Cons: too heavy, difficult to turn on/off quickly, awkward on/off button position
Model Number: SX260
"I was pleased for the most part with the photos and the zoom is pretty impressive. However, the on/off button is placed on the very edge of the camera making it tricky to use quickly. You have to be very deliberate when picking up the camera and turning it on. I missed a number of shots because I simply could not get the camera on fast enough. I wanted it for use during sporting activities, but with the hefty weight and difficulty in turning it on/off, I decided it would not be a good camera for that purpose. I returned it, which is a shame, because I liked everything else about it."

Location:Cerritos, California, Love Making Movies
Date:July 16, 2012
Pros: stablized long zoom, clear crisp photos, terrific video
Cons: none noted
"Best usable 80x total zoom stabilized for clarity. The sx260 with 20x optical zoom is a
very nice camera that takes great photos and video in good light, and fair photos in low light . The best feature is the long stabilized zoom that provides clear crisp photos. I really like this camera.
