Features, specs and full video review of the Canon SX-260 HS digital camera

Canon PowerShot SX-260 HS review. Today at sveyo.com we are going to take a look at one of the best point and shoot digital cameras currently on the market.

The fact that the PowerShot SX260 HS digital camera is an ultra-slim camera with a powerful 20x optical zoom, Optical Image Stabilization and 25mm Wide-Angle lens is only the beginning of its attractions. You’ll see detail you never thought possible through the huge zoom and wide-angle lens, while the camera’s 12.1 Megapixel High-Sensitivity CMOS Sensor and DIGIC 5 Image Processor deliver the rich, clear low-light performance that is the hallmark of Canon’s HS SYSTEM. 1080p Full HD video in stereo is more beautiful than ever, with new high-resolution, high-speed processing. Sophisticated advancements include improved Smart AUTO that optimizes settings for 58 predefined shooting situations, Face ID that prioritizes pre-registered faces, and GPS for tracking and recording your shooting locations.
