Canon Powershot SX280 HS with flash popped upCanon have put a lot of features in the SX280 HS and still kept it to a small size and light weight. It has 1080p video at 60fps, WiFi, GPS, a 25-500 zoom lens (in 35mm terms), ISO up to 6400, a high speed burs...

Abstract: For the vast majority of people, the compact camera is dead. Today's smartphones take good enough pictures, easily fit in our pockets, and are always with us. But there are situations where the fixed lens on a smartphone just doesn't cut it.If you're look...
20x zoom, Good photos for its class, GPS, WiFi and manual controls at a low price
Battery life and battery sensor malfunctions, Missing some common features, like panorama, No RAW mode
On paper, the Canon PowerShot SX 280 HS certainly looks tempting: It's an inexpensive pocket point-and-shoot that just happens to possess a generous 20x zoom lens -- plus Wi-Fi and GPS. Its image quality is very good but, unfortunately, its puny battery c...
Abstract: Optics and image stabilization. Like its predecessor, the SX280 HS features a 20x optical zoom -- with a range of 25mm wide to 500mm tele equivalents and maximum apertures from f/3.5 to f/6.8 -- which zoomed in and out relatively quickly and quietly durin...
By Josh Fate Canon's PowerShot SX280 is one of the most versatile of the compact point-n-shoot models in the PowerShot lineup. Sporting a 20x optical zoom lens, 12.1-Megapixel HS CMOS imaging sensor and the new DIGIC VI processor, its power and image q...
Low image noise; Wifi Transfer features; Image quality and colour; Compact design; High Speed 14fps continuous shooting; Build quality
14fps is only achievable when in special High Speed mode; Auto pop up flash positioning; Disappointing battery life
The Canon PowerShot SX280HS costs around £250, making it look a reasonable buy, but that's richer than similar cameras such as the Nikon Coolpix S9500.It offers a lot of zoom and feature set ideal those wanting a versatile snapper for their travels, ...
20x zoom, compact size, Finger rail grip, Better than average noise control
Center AF only in manual modes, Poor placement of the one touch video stop/start button, Soft telephoto images, battery life could be better
The SX280 HS is a compact, well designed, sturdy, and easy to use point and shoot digital camera with a 20x zoom. Compared to its competition, the biggest difference would seem to be in the resolution arena with Canon sticking with a reasonable 12-megapi...
The Canon PowerShot SX280 HS has shooting modes for every type of photographer from casual to advanced; a useful long zoom lens with excellent image stabilization; and overall excellent photo and video quality for a compact megazoom
Battery life is short, especially if you use the Wi-Fi and GPS features or movie capture. The flash isn't in a great location, and there are no easy panorama or HDR shooting options
Wi-Fi connectivity and a new processor help make Canon's PowerShot SX280 HS one of the top compact megazooms available. But you'd better load up on batteries.
The SX280 HS principally adds built-in wi-fi connectivity, the latest DIGIC 6 image processing engine, 60fps movies, quicker GPS and better image quality at the same price-point as last year's SX260 HS model. The wireless feature feels a little half-bake...

Powerful 20x zoom, Sharp images in well-lit/daylight situations, Nice autofocus performance, Built-in Wi-Fi and GPS
Poor placement of built-in flash, Noisy at high ISO settings, Barrel distortion at wide angle
When it comes to compact superzooms, Canon puts together a pretty impressive list of specs with the Powershot SX280. Cameras like this show the performance and features of advanced point-and-shoots continue to evolve and there's still a place for them a...
