Powerful 42x Optical Zoom with Optical Image Stabilizer for outstanding optical performance42x Optical Zoom (24–1008mm)Don't miss a moment with the versatility of the PowerShot SX420 IS camera's 42x Optical Zoom lens. It gives you a reach all the way from 24mm to 1008mm, which means if you're capturing your child playing sports at the far end of the field, you can still see his movements and expressions. A 24mm wide-angle lens enables easy capture of brilliant landscapes and large group portraits, and the Optical Image Stabilizer helps ensure you get clear and virtually noise-free images whether you're shooting near or far. Intelligent ISIntelligent IS analyzes camera movement and applies the ideal shake correction method for the shooting situation. For stills, the system selects from Normal IS, Panning IS, Macro (Hybrid) IS and Tripod modes. When shooting video, the system selects from Dynamic IS, Powered IS, Macro (Hybrid) IS and Active Tripod IS modes. With Intelligent IS, you can concentrate on image capture, letting the camera make effective IS settings to help capture a steady image. Still Image Shooting Normal IS Corrects for a wide range of camera movement when shooting stills. Panning IS Panning motion is detected so that IS does not interfere with desired camera movement. Macro (Hybrid) IS Corrects for shift-type camera shake, which typically occurs in macro (close-up) shooting. Tripod When tripod use is detected, the Image Stabilizer is stopped because it is not needed. Video Recording Dynamic IS Effective for video shooting at wide-angle focal lengths, eliminating the unwanted shaking that typically occurs while walking. Powered IS Compensates for hand movement when shooting video at the telephoto end of the zoom range, where camera shake is magnified. Macro (Hybrid) IS Corrects for motion blur that is likely to occur when shooting video while walking. Also compensates for the shift-type camera shake common in macro shooting. Active Tripod IS When shooting video while using a tripod, the Image Stabilizer is active to compensate for slight camera shake.

  • Small, portable, and absolutely AMAZING
Color: Black Style: Base
I came to Amazon looking for a camera to take on vacations and trips. I only ever use my iPhone for pictures, and wanted to invest in something slightly more professional that wouldn't break the bank. I am in no way a photographer, but this camera sure makes me feel like one. It's the perfect size for travelers, as it fits in your hand perfectly, as it's very small and portable. I think the picture quality is absolutely stunning. I can zoom into a tree from over 100 feet away and it looks as if I'm right in front of it! I haven't taken this camera on my trip to Europe yet, but will update and post the pictures I take once I do. I've mostly just played around with it, taking pictures of my dog or sister. I included a selfie to show the flash - that was taken in a pitch black room. I wasn't even sure it would come out clear, but wow! Look at the quality! One thing I would like to address is the wifi, which might be my favorite thing about this camera as a whole. I contemplated buying the Canon powershot SX410, which is a cheaper, slightly older version of this camera, but opted for this because of the wifi feature. I can't boast about it enough. I can take a picture of something, click on the wifi option on the camera, connect to the wifi from my phone, open the free camera app and send the picture directly from my camera to my iPhone. I can also delete that picture from the camera once I've saved it to my phone, so I'll never run out of space! The battery life is also very impressive and it seems to stay charged for a long time (another reason it's great for travelers). And the time it takes to fully charge the battery isn't long at all. I'm just a person who wanted a cool camera to take nice quality pictures. I'm not a photographer or anything near, but I love clean, crisp quality shots. If you want a small, portable camera that takes AMAZING quality pictures, has a KILLER zoom and flash, and has a wifi feature that allows you to share your pictures on social media in the matter of seconds after taking the picture, this is for you. This camera should be so much more expensive that it is because it's absolutely amazing. 10/10 recommend! ... show more

  • Good Camera
Color: Black Style: Base
I love this little camera. The zoom is amazing. It's not the best in low light, such as indoors, but outdoors it works fine. I have not printed any pictures yet but the shots look fine on the monitor and on my computer. The battery drained faster than I expected. Apparently the trick is to minimize monitor usage. Unfortunately, there is no viewfinder. It does not take panorama shots or have forced flash in AUTO mode. I haven't used the manual mode(s). The video works fine. This is a good, little, point and shoot super-zoom camera. Cheaper ones used AA batteries. I wanted a camera with a rechargeable battery pack, so I spent a little more. Plus I got extra zoom power (i.e., 42x) and 20 MP resolution. I assume that the more expensive cameras are better but this one will be fine for hiking and vacations. ... show more

  • Great little digital camera- remember to buy a storage card.
Color: Red Style: Base
So far this digital camera has been great. Was very easy to set up and takes nice photos. The camera does require a digital card in order to save photos. I purchased one separately from Amazon for 13.00. There is a small strap that comes with the camera. The shutter speed is good but you can not take fast moving shots with this camera. It is better suited for portraits and still life. The camera is not heavy so would be easy to take with you on a tour. I would also recommend buying a camera bag with the camera to protect it from being scratched or hit. Another nice feature is the Wi-Fi. It was easy to download photos to my laptop without having to connect to it. I saved around 70 from purchasing this camera on Amazon versus best buy. Very happy with the purchase and will be using this on my trips! ... show more

Color: Red Style: Base
I bought the red one for myself and absolutely love it. I find the stabilizer works well and my pictures are sharp - mostly photos of people in casual settings. After 6 weeks I bought a black one like it for our office and while I think I have set the settings the same I am not sure the pictures are as sharp! Maybe my eyes have gotten worse (a possibility as I am awaiting surgery) or maybe there is a glitch in the second camera. The original reviews showed some significant variation from 'clear sharp photos' to 'not happy with clarity of photos' -- so maybe the black one has some issues as I am same photographer now trying a second one for our office. Again, I love the red one I got first and stabilization/clarity of photos was one of the main reasons I chose this camera. I only purchased the second for our office after practicing/testing the first one for 6 weeks. The jury is still out on the 2nd purchase (a black one so there is no question which is which!) ... show more

  • Display screen needs a lot of improvement.
Color: Red Style: Base
I gave this all 3s because every function you use is reflected on a poor quality display screen. It really could be better. Your prints turn out really nice. But the display shot loses trueness to be able to capture some things. The app is useless. I do not use. It's a nice camera for outside shots and vacation scenic daylight. But the screen again is hard to see. Would have preferred a view finder instead of a view screen. ... show more
