Canon PowerShot SX260 HS prices and specs
The Canon PowerShot SX260 HS was released on Feb 7, 2012. For now the cheapest price for the camera is 99.00
The Canon PowerShot SX260 HS is a point and shoot camera. Its main advantage is a very small size: the photographer can even put it in the pocket. The camera has various automatic modes but you won't get pictures of the same great quality in comparison to DSLR cameras.
The Canon PowerShot SX260 HS can take photos at 12 megapixels max resolution. But if you want to get better image quality the more important thing is a sensor size. This camera has a 1/2.3' (6.17 x 4.55 mm) sensor which means that the PowerShot SX260 HS will make photos with a lower quality than cameras with bigger sensors but instead it has smaller dimensions and weight. And if you want to produce photos of the professional quality check Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1R II.
The camera has max shutter speed of 1/3200 sec. It is an average shutter speed which is rather good for taking action photos of a satisfactory quality. The camera records great videos in Full HD resolution.
The lens is fixed and the photographer won't be able to switch it. The lens has great 20x optical zoom.
The camera even equiped with built-in GPS that will allow you to record the location where the photos were made. The Canon PowerShot SX260 HS battery life will be enough to capture about 230 photos.
