This camera claims to be able to take great pictures under low light environments, but after use I see that the pictures lose a lot of focus and sharpness. When taking video it is even worse, I've had galaxy cellphones take better quality video under low light conditions.The zoom is very good however and there are many settings to get a good shot, keep in mind however that some settings require time for the camera to take a clear shot (slow frame shutter) and can result in out of focus images if you take fast action.

A little background: I have owned several film SLRs (Olympus OM1, Minolta XD11) as well as point and shoot (P+S) film cameras (Nikon, Minolta) and over the last few years, several P+S digital cameras (Canon, Panasonic). One of the most important things I have found is the need for a decent wide angle lens. For a P+S camera, I make sure it goes to at least (the equivalent of) 25mm at the widest angle. Otherwise, if I am standing close to a large object, I am unable to frame it properly. The lack of a 25mm wide angle is what prevented me from buying the earlier model of this camera, the SX230HS.The SX260HS addresses this issue by having a 20x zoom lens that goes from 25mm to 200mm. This covers a very useable range in terms of wide angle to telephoto. The quality of the pictures is excellent. The only issue, as others have noted, is that in low light, the auto focus isn't that great - it can take some time to focus. A minor inconvenience is that the pop up flash has been placed on the left side, where I am used to grasping the camera. This does take some adjustment and I wish they had placed the flash in the middle rather on the left side. However, like most P+S cameras, the flash is fairly anemic (doesn't go beyond 10-15 feet), so most of the time I end up turning off the flash anyway and just shooting using available light. Another thing to note is that, like many other P+S cameras, the battery is not very big, so it pays to buy 1-2 extra battery packs.This is the first camera in a long time that has got me passionate about photography again. The relatively small size allows it to be easily carried, while the very versatile 20x zoom lens allows for excellent closeups as well as wide angle shots. Another thing to note is that, using the publicly available CHDK software, the stock firmware can be temporarily bypassed, allowing for longer (e.g., 1 hour) videos, shooting in RAW mode, etc.All in all, the SX260HS is an excellent P+S camera that is small but versatile. Like any P+S, there are some design tradeoffs, and so the camera is not without its minor flaws, but all things considered, if you are in the market for a P+S camera, the SX260HS is worth checking out, especially considering Canon aggressively discounts the SX260HS compared to comparable cameras from Sony (DSC-HX20V, DSC-HX30V) and Nikon (S9300).

I researched and researched trying to find that 'ideal' camera....one that had great zoom, clear pictures, small compact size, fast shutter speed, movie capabilities, easy function and use. You know, the 'urban legend' of cameras. I decided on the SX260. From what I read, an improvement over the older model SX230. From a very novice photographer and in basic layman's terms, here's what I have liked, and not liked.Pros:Great pictures with flash, especially outside and in good lighting. Phenomenal ability to get real clear, real close up photos. Easy to use buttons and functions. Each option on the function wheel tells you on the screen what it does. There is a 'beginner' mode that does all the thinking for you. The lens is really impressive. Surprisingly large for such a small camera. The camera is responsive, but does have a small window of time on multiple shots, that the flash needs to recharge. When zooming in, the stabilizing feature turns on, to help still the shot. It is larger than our past compacts, but still small enough to fit in your pocket or handbag. The display is large (no view finder). It comes in cool colors. We got the green, which is more teal in person. No mistaking it with another.Cons:The shutter speed isn't super quick, but the camera can be placed on a mode that prioritizes that over all other functions. The battery, so far, has been the biggest disappointment. We are using the one that came with the camera, but it seemed like we got about a 100 pictures, and a few minutes of video out of it. We are recharging it again, for a longer period of time to see if that helps. I also read that turning off the GPS feature and limiting the brightness of the display will help the battery life. We'll see. The flash position is supposedly an improvement. I still find that it pops up under my fingers when taking a photo. Its probably just a matter of getting used to it and holding the camera differently. The camera's weak point is indoors in low light. The photos were a bit grainy.Bottom line:We wanted a portable camera that took both quality video and good photos. So far, we aren't disappointed. But as far as being that 'ultimate' camera...not sure if Canon's SX260 is it, but it comes pretty close. amazon.com has the best price around.

I did a lot of research before purchasing the Canon SX260-HS. I have a Canon 20D SLR that usually sits in the hotel room on trips because it is too big and heavy to carry on wander abouts. This camera slips very easily into a front pocket of my pants, so it is there when I want it. It has more bells and whistles than the 20D, which cost $2k in 2005. That's a sobering thought...Here are some LIKe and DISLIKE ramblings...DISLIKE: No viewfinder, but I knew that when I bought it--just didn't realize how much I would miss it. Small cameras generally cannot have both a viewfinder and a large LCD screen.LIKE: The white balance for various settings like bright sun, cloudy, tungsten etc. seem very accurate.DISLIKE: No printed manual--It's 246 pages, and you most likely will need to read it to understand half of what the camera can do.LIKE: Fast. Takes about 2 seconds to turn on and extend the lens. Less, to re-extend the lens from sleep mode.DISLIKE: Internal stabilization. I no longer put any faith in this and recommend getting a small, malleable tripod. Except in very bright sunlight, a picture taken one-handed will show jitter, and some two-handed shots will also show jitter. Brace the camera against a wall or lamp post where possible.LIKE: Pretty good video, but I can faintly hear the servo whine in the background in quiet settings. Using the telephoto in video mode without a tripod/brace will exacerbate movement.DISLIKE: Naturally, it won't react as fast as a dSLR, especially in lower light settings. For action shots, take bursts of multiple shots and keep the best ones.DISLIKE: No RAW.I believe that if I had the time to truly read the manual, I would be better able to understand the camera's logic and thereby possibly circumvent permutations I inadvertently may create.I'm a Canon camera devotee. I compared a lot of cameras on the CU website, and then read a lot of reviews on Amazon. I narrowed my choices down to the S95 and the SX260. I ended up choosing this one for the 20X optical zoom over the S95's potentially better low light capabilities. Now, if I did it over again, I might opt for the S95. Tough choice.If you purchase this camera, I recommend a fast card like the SanDisk 32 GB SDHC Class 10. With the least compression, it will hold over 5500 pictures. I also recommend you buy at least one other battery as they average between 230 and 260 shots per battery. I was able to buy a genuine Canon battery in retail packaging with hologram through Amazon--not one of their market place sellers.

We bought this for our European trip and found it to be a great little camera. It has lots of useful features, yet the programs yield excellent pictures if you don't have the time or willingness to fiddle around. It is nicely compact and fits easily into the pocket. We got a lot of photos from each charge, but I'd always recommend a spare battery or two for particularly heavy days. I've even taken it to airshows for static shots when I don't wish to change lenses on my big DSLR.

I have been looking at numerous cameras to take pictures of my kids and this got favorable reviews, so I gave it a shot.I wanted a camera that would take pictures in the house and also while my kids were moving around, since most kids don't sit very still.Pictures that were taken with movement were often blurry.Low light pictures were okay. Some came out well but many were blurry if there was movement.It did not take rapid fire shots very well, it took a couple seconds between pictures (and I purchased a brand new memory card thinking it would fix the problem and it didn't).Turning on the camera took more than 3 seconds, so if your child was doing something picture worthy, it was done by the time the camera was ready to take the picture.I'm not sure why this camera received rave reviews. My Iphone takes better pictures, but I wanted a camera with a lot of memory and a better zoom.

About my need and what I do with my camera: I am an average Joe photographer. 90% of my pics and videos are of my 2 years old daughter. I don't/can't go in explicit technical details of a shot, all I can tell about a picture is weather I like it or not!I bought this camera due to my prior very good experience with other Canon Cameras. I had developed almost blind faith in Canon quality. I have/had Canon SD1100IS, SD1300IS, and SX200IS. I have been most happy with SX200IS with very good picture/ Video quality and it being a mega zoom camera.I thought, and had hoped for, that SX260HS would be equal or better than SX200IS. At least, all the technical specs are better. However, I think Canon tried to bite too much this time, got ahead of theirselves. They didn't need to try besting theirselves if technology couldn't support it. I am unhappy with this camera from day one, and honestly, can't wait to go back and get another SX200IS. (my daughter smashed it :( ) Here are the reasons why:1. Slow response time, at least compare to SX200IS. I can't give you exact details, but I can't seem to capture quick moments of my 2 years old daughter that I was able to with SX200IS.2. Distorted, wavey pictures often. (it is called Barrel effect I think.) Faces and objects look distorted as you go away from the center.3. HD Video zoom - didn't keep the focus while changing zoom. I got blurry, lost focus, videos often, to the point where I don't use zoom at all during video. Just a second or two of blurry focus makes the whole clip pain to watch for the rest of your life.3. HD Video - 1080P videos look choppy. Not sure if 24FPS has anything to do with it or not, bu I have hours of 720P HD video from SX200IS and it is buttry smooth. I think 720P is good for SX260HS too, but upgraded specs of 1080P aren't good for me.4. I am finding more and more blurry, lost focused pictures. I took about 10 pics outside in low lights, and 8 of them turned out to be blurry. I am Mad. I am done with this camera. I will also seriously consider buying locally to so that I can return POS like this easily, even if it costs a little bit more.There might be other reasons, but just the fact that I am not anxious to take pictures with this camera like other Canon camera's I had before makes me rate this 1 Star.edit 11/13/12: Added #4, and corrected a couple of typos.

To date, I have only shot about 125 times with the camera but I am very pleased so far with the quality of the photos and the almost overwhelming flexibility of this small, but mighty point-n-shoot. I plan to learn to use all of the camera's many features on a 3 week trip this summer so might amend this review in a few months.All in all, I feel it's a great small camera at a good price.CONS OR REASONS WHY I DO NOT GIVE IT 5 STARS:As many reviewers have noted, inexplicably, it does not come with a memory card, which I liken to buying a new car but having to pay extra for tires. At least Canon could include a 1 GB SD Card to get a photographer started.Battery Life: As stated in the Getting Started guide, the expected number of shots per fully charged battery is 230 or 70 minutes of continuous shooting time. So far, I have not barely reached half of those expected standards before the battery is discharged. Obviously, using the flash or zoom, both of which I do extensively, greatly decreases the battery's life.Lack of a Printed Manual: Yes, I am old school and one can certainly use this camera without reading the manual but I firmly believe that purchasers deserve to receive a printed manual, not just a CD to either read on-screen, or to print out with expensive ink on a personal printer. Note that I am very eco-conscious also and religiously reduce, reuse, re-purpose and recycle and do not print any more than I have to...Bottom line, I paid $20 for a printed manual which i believe is the manufacturer's responsibility to furnish me. Canon could send a manual to everyone who bothers to send in the warranty card as an incentive.R.R.

I have been using this camera now for a while. I come from the SLR film days and needed something that would provide full manual (just enough) controls that would allow me to tweak settings if I wished. This camera is a 90% fit for me in this regard. No use having all of the bells and whistles and not be able to grab it and carry it along and end up missing the shot. There are compromises, notably some quality, for the convenience. If all you end up printing on is letter sized photo paper, you'll be fine. I use a Canon Pixma 980 and the results are as good as my SLR stuff from 25 years ago, all instantly, compared to those days. Take the time and go through the manual (it's a pity that it only comes in pdf format) it is really worth it. That being said, it's a lot to digest in one go, so give yourself some time to work through the features (and there are many). Seems that each setting has some gems buried in sub-layers of settings. Unless you clearly understand the basics and what the terms mean, it can get quite intimidating. The auto modes do work well though, and if you understand the impact of high ISO, various shutter speeds and aperture values, you can always tweak things yourself. The bottom line is that it does a fine job of both auto and manual shots. The wide to superzoom is really great, and combined with some really good low/natural light capabilities, this camera is lots of fun. The most confusing thing for me when I first held it was "where do I hold it?" It's so small, that I really do not know where to place my fingers at times, but the metal feel is sturdy. The flash can be a bit annoying sometimes, but I've worked that out by mainly shooting in "auto" and setting "no flash" until I do really need it. The GPS feature is handy, but I would not use it unless travelling around. Get lots of spare batteries, you'll need them, as battery life is not too good. Also get a good case, as the lens can be easily damaged. There is lots more that I can say about this camera, nearly all good; but I'll leave it here for now. P.S. Do not be afraid of the digital zoom, this one can actually get a really far off shot if necessary, and the blur is understandable, but tolerable.July 17th 2012 Update:Still loving this camera. Pay attention to all of the features and experiment with P settings. Keep ISO at around 200 and you will get the sharpest pics, although the high ISOs in low light on Auto does do a pretty good job. The camera has what it takes if you care to take the time and learn how to use its many features. Sometimes a bit daunting for the point and shoot person, but nice to know that manual settings are there when you feel to push your photography skills a bit further.October 3rd 2012:It has been six months now, and this camera does not disappoint ....period. Want a solid point and shoot with great quality? Buy this!

I had finally had it with my Kodak easyshare that I just purchased last year. It was clumsy to handle and I was forever recharging batteries. It used 4 AA rechargeable batteries and my new Canon Super Shot uses a lithium battery. The AA batteries took 11 1/2 hours to charge! The lithium battery takes a little less than 1 1/2 hour!!!!! That was the main reason that I purchased this camera. The other reason was that the comments for the Canon Super Shot were overwhelmingly positive and just what I was looking for in quality and price. I love it!!

I bought this for general photo and non-critical vacation shots; the 20X zoom is great for critters, birds, sunsets and so forth. The only drawback to this camera is that the mode wheel moves occasionally when you put into or take it out of a pocket or bag and you then take photos in the wrong mode or not at all. Be aware that trying to hold a camera steady and compose at 20x is very difficult.

Here's the good news: the camera is super easy to use, fits easily in a pocket and takes sharp, clear pictures. Bad news: my software disc that comes with the camera was completely blank! This is a fun little camera for taking snapshots and the zoom is very handy at places like the zoo or while travelling. But I was annoyed by the inclusion of a blank DVD, that should have included software and an instruction PDF. So, only three stars.

love this camera!! i've had the digital Elph series camera before, and this was a great upgrade from my older model. the optical zoom works so well that i was able to get printable face shots of my sister at her graduation. she was sitting on the stadium field, and i was at almost the top row of the bleachers in a standard sized football stadium. very impressive clarity. has enough features for an intermediate photographer to be useful, and menus are easy to figure out. i feel like i still have some features i have yet to intellectually understand or utilize, but works great for what i typically use it for (family photos, and close ups of still life - at a distance of 2 feet). and im glad i still have some room for my photography skill growth with the options the camera offers. the owners manual comes in digital form - so if you like to read on paper you'll have to print it out, but thats a small minus to an overall excellent product. i would buy this camera again.

I have had two previous Canon PowerShot Elph cameras, and ordered this one because I finally dropped my 100HS too many times after 7 years and broke the screen on the back. (NOTE: It's still working in terms of taking pics, but I can't see what I'm shooting!) After reading about a lot of the new ones with touch screens - something I did not want - I decided to try the SX 260 HS 12.1 MP, and it is terrific. It's still small enough and light enough, but has a 20x optical zoom which is nothing short of fantastic. I've seen others complain that it is blurry, but that is if you go past the 20x optical into the digital zoom, which is of course going to blur. You can clearly see the limits of the 20x optical zoom if you look at the bar indicating the zoom strength being used. One thing I would say is the picture shows the lens with no cover, and mine has the same type of protective onion-layered type of cover that has been on my other PowerShot Elphs by Canon. No worries. It is definitely a great buy and another great camera by Canon. p.s. I still love my little 100HS so much I ordered another one just because. For the money these can't be beat. I get compliments all the time on my photos by people using much more expensive and sophisticated cameras. Oh yeah, and this one - as well as my other PowerShot Elphs - shoots great video with great sound! I'm a believer and a loyal customer.

I have owned serveral Canon cameras and I must say, this is not my favorite! The battery life is short and turning it on is not just a push of the button. It is very annoying to have to press the "on" button two or three times. Also, when on auto focus, some photos still come out fuzzy. I dont reccommend this model of Canon.

I have an older Nikon Coolpix, the quality is ok but I wanted a newer digital camera that would do nice video.Something that was user freindly that gave me a choice of getting decent video of the grandkids without having to buy a camcorder.I get great pictures without to much hassle and picture quality is very good.Sure this camera has its blurry pix or shakey video but what camera doesnt, allot of this is sometimes user error and this camera has plenty of techy settings to address all sorts of scernario's. This is'nt your highend camera but it's affordable and still gives quality pictures and video.This camera makes it simple to view and retrieve video and pictures. Right after I video my granddaughter I can hook it to the TV using a mini HDMI to HDMI and wala we can watch them seconds after shooting. Being at a family function and plugging this in looking at pictures and video with everyone is a snap!If I need to extract pix or video I just pop out the (not included) SD card and slide it into the laptop, open the folder without any software and organize them. There is also software that comes with the camera but I really havnt used it yet.I'm no camera expert, but all the controls are user freindly, the interface on-screen is easy to go through and the modes for shooting are worthey of some nice pictures.I have no problem with the flash location on top and the zoom is very nice and clear.Note: There is no sound during video playback from the camera unless I'm missing something in a menu setting.This digital camera is a good choice with all the bells and whistles for the camera techy also.If your looking for a camera case thats compact and protects your purchase you might consider Case Logic DCB-302 Compact Case for Camera - Black

I basically chose this camera because am partial towards canon products. Now I like them small, light and point and shoot which is practical for travelling. If I am not running out of time to study its other features, I will study its manual mode. I also chose to buy this because of its 25mm wide angle lens and its its high telephoto capacity. On top of that it is capable of making 30 minute movies. I noted that I can also put together different still pictures to make a video. It is easy to operate, at least the auto smart mode because I have had a canon powershot before. I may have to review my photography lessons though on exposure, etc to be able to do better on how to operate the manual mode. The color gray is perfect too to my taste. I noted too the microphone in making a movie to catch the sounds. I love my new camera and it takes sharp pictures. Can't wait to use it at the cruise although tonight we will have picture-taking at my bf's house. I only got to spend a few hours to tinker with the camera and get myself familiarized with it relatively.

I have owned many brands of point-and-shoot cameras and I think this one is probably my favorite so far as far as picture quality and ease of use. You can't beat the 20x zoom of this camera that fits easily into the back pocket of your jeans. I have a Canon DSLR as well, and the quality of photos from this little point-and-shoot are very comparable to the DSLR.

I thoroughly enjoy using this little camera. I have two larger bridge cameras that I use when I know that I'm going out to photograph specific things. I use this camera when I'm going for casual walks. I do a lot of walking on the Gettysburg battlefield for exercise. I enjoy using this camera when I am walking because of the size of the camera. The zoom is fantastic for such a small camera. I primarly use the manual exposure feature and am able to get some really quality photos using this method, from close up of wildflowers to zoom photos of birds that I see on the battlefield.I have purchased two spare batteries for this camera. I have found that the low battery indicator doesn't accurately show a progression from fully charged to almost discharged. With the spare batteries I am never out of power.The only con that I see is that the rotating ring that is used to change ISO or shutter speed is rather sensative and I find myself constanly accessing other features that I am not intending to change or use. A light touch is required when rotating this ring. I have been using this camera for over a month now and have gotten some really quality photos. The images are crisp and rich in color. I don't use the auto settings because often the resulting images tend to be a little over exposed. This I find is normal though with the auto setting on most cameras. I haven't used the video feature at all since I have a high definition camcorder.I am thoroughly satisfied with this camera and find that it meets my needs as an avid amateur photographer. I am very particular about the quality of the images that I capture. This camera meets all of my expectations.

Yes, this is a decent camera, and yes the flash is in a terrible location (mine broke after a few months because it would always try to raise when my finger was in that spot), but it's important to know that for all its benefits, this camera (like other Canons) does NOT have an exposure button you can use. You can take manual control (in which you set aperture and shutter speed independently--and I do that on an unfortunately regular basis because of the lack of an exposure control), but it would be really, really nice to have.Mine broke today after about a year of owning it, and it looks like this is still by-far the best rated travel zoom camera out there. But I just can't make myself buy another one. I'm happy to see it gone, and thought I'd share in case anyone else out there likes tweaking exposure on their pictures a bit without jumping all the way into "manual" mode.

Purchased this back on Apr 1 for 2 week trip to New Zealand & Australia. I currently own a Minolta Maxxum 5D DSLR 6.1 MP with all the lens to go with it, but as we were traveling light I wanted to cut down on the 20-30 lbs. of camera gear I normally travel with. As my longest lens is a 75-300 mm lens (APS-C equivalent 112-450 MM), I wanted a replacement camera with at least that long of a focal length. I also wanted something that could replace my JVC camcorder as well. As my wife already owned a Canon PowerShot SD850is I was familiar with their build and quality. I found the camera easy to use and enjoyed not having to be changing lens every time I wanted to zoom in or out on a subject. I am not a professional photographer so can not qualitatively report on the quality of my pictures, but I feel they are as good as any I have taken with my Maxxum 5D or previously to that the Minolta 35 mm SLR I still own. The video was extremely good as well. The only complaint I have is the placement of the flash. It is on top of the camera where my left hand index finger would sit, thus would hit my finger and not extract fully every time I needed the flash. It would also be nice if the flash could stay on while video taping in low light.If you are looking for a moderately priced camera with a long focal length and video recording capabilities then this can work for you.

Great little camera! I did a lot of research before purchasing and I had the previous model to this one and it still works! This one has a better zoom and better lens quality. It's still a point and shoot but it's a good all around camera that's light and easy to use. The GPS feature is nice too!

This isn't the model to buy if you want the wi-fi and instant posting capabilities. Also, the one that I ordered did not have a booklet/manual so that was odd. It has a lot of cool features mentioned on the Amazon board, but I was not able to easily work through it without the manual. Gives crisp photos and is compact so it is easy to take around (though, not sleek, its a bit stocky).

I was initially so excited to get this camera and was impressed with the pictures taken with this camera.On a recent vacation, I noticed the lens covers did not automatically completely open and if I wasn't careful I'd get a curtains appearance to my pictures. This problem did not occur every time. But WORSE, I discovered too late that the automatic lens covers DID NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY (again sporadically) and the lens is NOW SCRATCHED!!! In the 30+ years of camera ownership I have never scratched a lens!!!I fault Canon on this design flaw and the workmanship (or lack thereof) that will either result in an expensive repair or the purchase of a completely different camera (AND NOT A CANON)
