Canon PowerShot SX260 HS Review - The Best Point and Shoot?

[@yahhello]

i don't listen to other reviewers. i listen to you.

[@androidfreakish]

I'm really not that much into cameras but I am watching this none the less because mike is just the man

[@tabbypears]

I love this thing. 6 years and it works fine.

[@sylviagarcia5458]

Does it still work now ,11 years after???

[@HesamSaedpanah]

@@sylviagarcia5458 I've had this camera for over 10 years and it still works perfectly

[@ManCaveMeals]

Thanks for the review on the SX260. My SX210 died this weekend (the lens is jammed) and I need to replace it. I think the 260 will be that replacement....

[@marktibbetts3799]

I have a SX280hs,and it's an outstanding camera. No disappointments here.

[@surfin_6]

Wow! What a blast from the past!

[@aandmm135]

I got this from my basement and it works so good

[@iym413]

I just bought this camera, and for a "point and shoot" it is probably the best of the Best in the genre. If you are looking for it to be as good as a Canon T2i, T3i, etc., it won't compete. But if you want a compact camera that takes 1080p video, and high quality photos, you will not get any better. I have tried Nikon, Sony, Panasonic, and Fuji, all at higher megapixels, and the sx260 beats them all.

[@latuman]

Extremely detailed and well edited review. This might just be a gift for my girlfriend, but lets see what Panasonic has to offer; video is even more important than stills.

[@HesamSaedpanah]

don't wanna be nosy but what did you get for your girlfriend and how did she react I know it's been 11 years..LOL

[@latuman]

@@HesamSaedpanah i got this. It served well. Then came smart phones

[@Zigadiboom]

Both cameras are highly competent and well regarded units. U cannot go wrong with either. Both are 12MP, similarly priced and are highly customisable. Essentially the key difference between the two is this: The S100 has a slightly larger sensor and a much brighter lens enabling better overall image quality particularly in low light without flash. However it has only 5X optical zoom. The SX260HS key selling point is its 20X optical zoom that is contained within a genuinely pocketable package.

[@KeroroGunsouTX]

I think I can answer that it part. Basically, features like auto-focus/image stabilization just don't work well when you zoom all the way, so you'll just have to cut back on your use of zoom to get a sharp picture. If you only want a certain segment of the picture, you can use an imaging editing program to crop the image to just the part you want.

[@RickStylus]

I'm going between this SX260 and the S100, I wonder which one would fit my expectations better.

[@Sodagirl520]

does this camera auto focus when recording a video?

[@ReneBarba]

Every new camera review, there's a new coffee mug filled with tea.

[@PcPilot82]

Just bought one on there today!!! I hope its good

[@iFilmSuperCars]

I'm deciding between the Sony Cybershot HX20V and this. Which should I pull the trigger on? Thanks!

[@teejayshorty]

what would be the best SD card to buy for a camera like this?

[@ejud2001]

Soooo... should I upgrade from the 230 that I love???

[@shubhkrits]

Just bought this camera its quite impressive...

[@TedSimmer]

Hi, I like your review of the SX260 HS. I'm just about ready to pull the trigger and buy the Panasonic DMC-ZS20; do you know when you will have your review completed for that camera? I figure it would be wise for me to wait for your review to see what your opinion is of the pros & cons of the Panasonic compared to the Canon SX260 HS. Thank you

[@steven12153]

can you review the Nikon Coolpix P510 I have the P500 and want to see what the difference is and if I should up grade

[@JAKEBrakeModel94]

Got this for Christmas! I love it so far

[@carlmanu]

great reviews! very informative. so... basing your decision on price/features/quality. would you recomend this one over the S100 or not?

[@mymonaro2008]

I can not find your review of the Panasonic camera which you refer to in this video, towards the end.

[@marike1100]

f3.1 to f3.5 is only slightly more than 1/3 of a stop, not 1 full stop. But nice camera, with good looking JPEGs (too bad no RAW). Well done review as usual.

[@hoopdie]

So the only difference between this and the SX240 it doesn't have GPS, right?? Everything else is the same?

[@dundomaroje88]

If you need zoom, go for sx240/260, s100 has slightly better image quality, lower apeture, HDR mode but 5x zoom i think

[@Linksel]

This guy is cool I wish he would make more videos, and great places where he does the reviews

[@toasterdance]

I should be getting the P510 in this week.

[@Tommy21797]

This is a tech company, not a phone/computer company. So really they report on all tech. Which is good for the consumer market. I was actually looking to get a camera. This one is a candidate!

[@NorthEastRegional]

I should've listened to you and get the Canon Powershot SX260HS, I got the Panasonic Lumix ZS-19 which is similar to this albeit a slightly higher end model, has on par performance but the problem is poor low light performance. Basically, all my photos taken in low light situations are unusable. Really miss ya Mike and thanks for the reviews! Fortunately, got a SX260HS on clearence, indeed a dramatic difference, though now I have two cameras for a hair over $400.

[@daniloncostaa]

which one is better. This one (SX260), or the Sony CyberShot wx150?

[@Exlows]

Hi Mike. I really like your reviews and hope that you can help me. I'm trying to find the best point and shoot camera. I was thinking to going for the FZ150 but i want to expend less then $350. So please, do you think that i should go for the sx260, zs20 or another one??

[@thermalf]

Just bought black Canon powershot SX260. Don't get me wrong: I like it. A lot. But for the price, unless you need a compact camera that fits in a pants pocket you may be better off with a DSLR like a used Canon Rebel etc. The battery will last longer and DSLR has other advantages over a compact. This SX260 camera is comparable in image quality to my Canon G10, a large compact. But G10 has larger battery that lasts a long time; longer than SX260 . Lastly the SX260 GPS is nice but I turned it off

[@1021Skaterboy]

Ok so is this canon powershot worth it. I will be taking pictures with this item and filming skateboarding I'm 13 is this a good camrea

[@zigg80]

Mike Pearlman needs to do all the reviews.

[@MrJbieber101]

does this camera work well for concerts? Like is the audio clear?

[@saber390]

Which one is better the Canon Powershot SX260 or Canon Powershot S100?

[@LiamS0511]

great comment. Im wondering, for this price (or atleast in the UK) why ot bump up to a bridge camera?

[@TheDilligan]

okay so would you recommend i get this OR would it be better to get Panasonic Lumix ZS20 at relatively the same price

[@gotNoMama]

Ok this cannon is the best so far for the buck( Christmas 2012. Question is- What cmera was used for the Video review ?.. it rocks.

[@mariofedexmara]

Best reviewer, MORE PLEASE!

[@MCSquidKid]

Great review! It wasn't boring! And you pointed out details! :)

[@EleanorNguyen-x4o]

Hi! I’m just wondering, I have the exact same model canon but I couldn’t find where all the fun filters and the white balance. Can you please tell me where they are, it would mean a lot. Thanks!

Hi there im going to a concert and the camera i got now is the Canon elph 300 and do i need to upgrade to the Canon SX260 so i could take much closer shots ? and how long does it record 1080p hd video on your camera ?

[@sa2985]

is this a good buy for filming for $80 used?

[@sbaksh1]

Hey Mike.....I am in the market for an excellent point & shoot digi camera with a high optical zoom, excellent quality photos in both low & high light shooting, so it should have a great flash. I also want to be able to make shot after shot kinda fast, and not have to do too many adjustments. I will not be doing much videos, but lots of photos. I want to take nature shots & my kids playing soccer w/o blurred photos, What can you suggest????

[@اربدياللونحوراني-ق2ل]

Can I put a lens on it?

[@tytok5561]

[@Apfelsaft85]

[@channa816]

[@Villex93]

Pearlman is the best. Does anyone know which state he lives in?

[@waiexxx]

My mom has it, she won't buy me a new one so yeah I am here to see the quality so that I can know what I am gonna use plus she lost the damm camera 😂

[@CardoWifey4Lifey]

can this camera record/take pictures underwater?

[@hoopdie]

Thanks for clarifying! I now know which one to get -- the SX240. :)

[@uliseto]

Is this better than the Elph 300?

[@saulexa24]

You should do a review from the sany tx55 the slimest camera they have..

[@2011ChiliPeppers]

because Mike Pearlman's vids are AWESOME!!!

[@doomwar]

I wish you could review all the cameras in the markets.. I fine your review really helpful the only thing is I can't compare the cameras without a proper review!! =(

[@jhoheart74]

[@WipeOutCCP]

[@panddha45]

[@duncan359]

it's suppose to be a red color but why does it look pink? the Fujifilm finepix f770 is a much better red.

[@Sandro211997]

Great camera! has the great auto scene i've ever seen, the bad thing is the macro, It's a little bad :/

[@naturalk8290]

I bought one of that it’s really good tho I just need a small camera becz for my holiday

[@ShanikkeH]

how is the video recording ? is it any good ?

[@KillaMarci]

I know, it wasn't meant to be a negative comment actually. It was supposed to be a positive one. (As in I still watch the videos because they are entertaining, even though im not interested in said product.) Guess I should have worded it a little better :)

[@habesha221]

Can I use you tube and post video by the canon

[@Jay-tu9td]
