Opinions from the Canon PowerShot SX420 IS

Advantages: An excellent camera for home use! Canon PowerShot SX420 IS, a difference of a couple of thousand, but the shooting quality is much better, it focuses quickly, the pictures are clear, natural, not blurry even in motion, the camera is lightweight, relatively compact, fits in a bag or pocket without problems, there is WI-FI connected the camera to the phone in 2 minutes, a handy thing, especially for quickly transferring pictures between devices, and for home group shooting, you can control the camera from a smartphone. Overall, I found a great replacement for a DSLR.
Disadvantages: There is no cable for connecting to a PC in the kit, there is no strap for wearing the camera around the neck, you need to take out the flash manually, but in general, all these are trifles, the main thing is the picture is good.
Disadvantages: I advise. I asked for a new camera as a gift, I didn't want a simple 'soap box', so I studied the owners' reviews before buying the Canon PowerShot SX420 IS. The promises of good quality photographs have come true. It is especially pleasant that the quality does not decrease even with a significant zoom. Many interesting effects, but most of them are difficult to apply in practice. When, for example, might a color swap feature come in handy? As usual, there were some drawbacks, mostly small ones. The main thing I can complain about is that the battery runs out quickly, and you constantly have to put the camera on charge. At dusk, he focuses for an unrealistically long time! It pisses me off. Otherwise, everything suits me, I do not regret the choice. The video also turns out to be of good quality, it's not a shame to show it to your friends.

Pluses: Quite small, wifi, zoom.
Disadvantages: Weak battery, does not charge via cable. I add a comment after a month of use. The video shoots disgusting! Colors are not natural, a lot of white.
Disadvantages: It was possible to cram in more different shooting modes and a more powerful battery.

Togan Vitaly


Advantages: Megazum, low price, battery included, simple menu, compactness, good image quality in good lighting.
Disadvantages: There is no connector for charging the battery without removing it, there is no connector for downloading photos via usb, low shooting speed, no neck strap.
Disadvantages: I am very pleased with the purchase, the quality of the images and the zoom are pleasing. Of all the minuses, only slow shooting can be distinguished. I do not understand the meaning of burst shooting if the frame is recorded for a second or even longer. There is no connector for charging the battery without removing it – I would not say that this is a significant minus, there are a lot of cameras on ordinary batteries and people live nothing, take pictures and do not cry. But it's good that there is a battery in the kit that is rumored to be enough for 180-200 shots. The kit is also charging, I plan to buy a second battery and beauty. Friends have a heavy DSLR and they almost stopped using it. And such a baby like this fotik can be carried all day.

Advantages: Compared to the old soap box, this one has a very good zoom, photo quality, convenient use

Disadvantages: Compact model that you can take with you anywhere without any problems.

Vedernikova Tatiana


Pluses: A wonderful camera for the money. I have been fond of photography for a long time, and decided to buy this model instead of Nikon. Excellent zoom allowing you to shoot without losing quality. In the dark, it also shoots equally well. To stabilize, too, do not find fault, copes. By the way, it is really possible to shoot the moon with them and craters will be visible in the photo. I definitely recommend it and don't regret it myself.
Disadvantages: In my opinion, it is possible (but not a fact) to find them only by those who have photography is a profession of their whole life, and the technique is not for that kind of money but much more expensive))

The photo is of good quality and color rendering, the stabilization is excellent, the photos are clear, and the video shooting is smooth) The battery lasts for a long time, and it charges quickly) Easy to operate, convenient and lightweight)

Dovbish Kiril


Pluses: Good zoom and stabilization! Small size and weight.
Disadvantages: No
Disadvantages: Good camera for family use! Good quality and easy operation. Even a child will not press anything extra and the photo will turn out great! Large zoom is very useful when going out into the countryside, stabilization works out completely)
