Canon PowerShot SX420 IS Reviews

Evaluation 5
Advantages: A great camera for home use! Canon PowerShot SX420 IS, a couple thousand difference, but the quality is much better, it focuses quickly, the pictures are clear, natural, not blurred even in motion, the camera is light, relatively compact, the bag or pocket fits without problems, There is WI-FI connected the camera to the phone in 2 minutes, a handy thing, especially for quickly transferring pictures between devices, and for home collective shooting, you can control the camera from a smartphone. Overall, I found an excellent replacement for a SLR camera.
Disadvantages: There is no cord in the kit for connecting to a PC, there is no belt in the kit for wearing a photo camera around your neck, you need to take a photo-flash manually, but in general, all this stuff, the main picture is good.
Comment: I advise. I asked for a new camera as a gift, I didn’t want a simple “soap box”, so I studied the reviews of the owners before buying a Canon PowerShot SX420 IS. The promises of good quality photos were fully justified. Particularly pleased that the quality is not reduced with a significant approximation. Many interesting effects, but most of them are difficult to put into practice. When, for example, can the color swap feature come in handy? As usual, it was not without flaws, mostly small. The main thing that I can complain about is that the battery is quickly discharged, it is constantly necessary to put the camera on charge. At dusk it is unrealistically long focused! It is enraged. Otherwise, everything suits me, I don’t regret my choice.The video also turns out to be of good quality, it is not a shame to show friends.

Advantages: Megazum, low price, battery included, simple menu, compactness, good quality of pictures with good lighting.
Disadvantages: There is no connector for charging the battery without removing, there is no connector for downloading photos by usb, low shooting speed, no neck strap.
Comment: Very pleased with the purchase, the quality of the pictures and zoom are pleasing. Of all the minuses, you can select only slow shooting. I do not understand the meaning of continuous shooting if the frame is recorded for a second or even longer. There is no connector for charging the battery without removing - I would not say that this is a significant minus, there are a lot of cameras on ordinary batteries and nothing people live, take pictures and do not cry. But it’s good that in general there is a battery in the kit which is rumored to last for 180-200 shots. Charging in the kit also goes, I plan to buy a second battery and beauty. Friends have a SLR heavy and they almost stopped using it. And such a baby as this fotik can be carried all day.

Advantages: Good zoom and stabilization! Small size and weight.
Disadvantages: Nope
Comment: Good camera for both family use! Good quality and easy handling. Even a child will not press anything extra and the photo will turn out great! A large zoom is very useful when going to nature, stabilizing its work completely)
