Canon PowerShot SX280 HS prices and specs
The PowerShot SX280 HS was released on Mar 21, 2013 and is on sale in USA for 229.00
The PowerShot SX280 HS belongs to the category of point and shoot cameras. Its main benefit is a small size: the photographer can even put it in the pocket. The camera has various automatic modes but you won't make photos of the same high quality in comparison to DSLR cameras.
The PowerShot SX280 HS can take photos at 12 megapixels max resolution. But for better image quality the more important specification is a sensor size. The PowerShot SX280 HS has a 1/2.3' (6.17 x 4.55 mm) sensor which means that the PowerShot SX280 HS will make photos with not so high quality as cameras with bigger sensors but instead it is more portable. But if you want to capture photos of the professional quality check Leica M Edition 60.
The camera has max shutter speed of 1/3200 sec. It is an average shutter speed that will be enough for making action photos of a very good quality. The camera shoots perfect videos in Full HD resolution.
The lens is built into the PowerShot SX280 HS and the photographer can't change it. The lens has great 20x optical zoom.
Also this device has Wi-Fi which means that the PowerShot SX280 HS owner can very easy send pictures to the phone or tablet for example. The camera even has built-in GPS that will allow the photographer to pinpoint the location at which the photos were taken. The PowerShot SX280 HS battery life will be enough to shoot about 210 photos.
