There was a firmware update that improves life when shooting video and using the zoom lens. The SX260 HS didn't exactly have stellar shot counts and things don't improve here. You can also use the connection to your mobile device to geotag your photos, which might help save battery life.Īnd really, the biggest downside to this camera is the battery life.

If this is a problem for you (it is for me), you can instead use the CameraWindow app for iOS or Android to send photos and movies directly to mobile devices for viewing, editing, and uploading. Basically, Canon forces you to set up an account on CIG with all of your account IDs and passwords so you can upload to these services from the camera instead of just allowing you to put your information directly into the camera.

Using Canon's CameraWindow software and Canon Image Gateway site, you can set the camera to wirelessly upload photos to Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and e-mail. The camera's Wi-Fi is fairly straightforward to operate, but less so to set up.

Some of the shooting modes have settings within settings, so getting the most out of the camera requires some exploration or time with the PDF manual. Still, you'll probably want to spend some time poking around in the setting menus. The menu system is easy enough to navigate, especially if you're coming from another Canon camera. And, thankfully, it can easily be turned on and off in the camera's function menu. The GPS system can also track your route from photo to photo.

The built-in GPS lets you automatically record the location and local time of photos and movies, and will set the camera's time to local time, which is definitely handy when traveling. The other thing I had a problem with was button markings, which were difficult to read on the SX260 that's no longer the case for the SX280 HS.ġ8 megapixels, 1/2.3-inch high-sensitivity MOSĢ0x, f3.5-6.8, 25-500mm (35mm equivalent)Ģ2x, f3.4-6.3, 25-550mm (35mm equivalent)Ģ0x, f3.3-6.4, 24-480mm (35mm equivalent) What's nice is that it refreshes relatively quickly after the burst, so you're not left waiting too long before you can shoot again. It, too, sets focus and exposure with the first shot.

Lastly, in the Scene modes, there's a high-speed burst setting that can hit 14fps for up to seven shots. You can also chose the same mode, but with autofocus, which slows the camera down to 1.1fps. This is with focus and exposure set with the first shot. Its standard full-resolution continuous mode hit 3.4fps in my tests. The camera has three continuous-shooting options. In low-light conditions that time goes up to 0.4 second, which is on par with times of the top cameras in its class. The time from pressing the shutter release to capture without prefocusing is 0.2 second in bright lighting. Turning on the flash will extend that lag to 3.9 seconds, however. From off to first shot takes 1.5 seconds and the lag between shots is the same 1.5 seconds. True to its claims, the SX280 HS is faster than the SX260 HS, and not just in one or two aspects, but across the board. (Note: Canon issued a firmware update for the SX280 HS that addresses battery issues when shooting video.) You will hear the zoom motor and possibly the continuous AF in quiet scenes. The zoom does function while recording and the camera refocuses and adjusts exposures smoothly. Some people don't like the smoother results, but you can shoot at 30fps. The 60fps video option is nice to have when shooting fast-moving subjects or when quickly panning the camera.

The SX280 can capture 1080p MP4 movies at 30fps or 60fps the SX260's videos were in MOV format and maxed out at 24fps. Video quality is generally excellent, too. (You can read more about the SX280 HS' image quality in the slideshow above.) Keep in mind, though, this is still a small-sensor camera and can't match the quality of a digital SLR or interchangeable lens compact. Basically, if you need to shoot in low light or want to freeze action, the SX280 HS is a fine choice. Colors desaturate some at ISO 16, subjects look very soft, and detail is greatly diminished, but photos are somewhat usable at small sizes. The noise and noise reduction are well balanced so you still get very good color and detail at these higher sensitivities.
