\"canonSX260\"<\/a>About a year ago, my family gave me the Canon SX260 Digital Camera<\/a> as a gift. \u00a0I had actually researched and chosen it first since I’m rather particular about my electronics and I have a much stronger opinion on them than my husband. \u00a0This was my fourth digital camera if you don’t count cell phone cameras, so I have a lot of experience with digital camera features and this is definitely my favorite camera so far.<\/p>\n

I really like that this camera has a good speed for it’s awesomely compact size and its price range. \u00a0I have three kids and I need a camera fast enough to keep up with them. \u00a0It also has a good 12.1MP resolution and even better, 20x optical zoom considering it’s size. \u00a0I love that it has all this and it will fit in my purse!<\/p>\n

My camera is the Red which looks to me like a dark pink or raspberry and I really like the fun color. \u00a0It is also available in black, grey and green.<\/p>\n

As for negatives, I fully agree with the reviews that the flash pops up right under my fingers which is annoying. \u00a0However I like all the other features so much that I’m happy to accept this one fault.<\/p>\n

When I started my research before buying this camera, I really wanted a viewfinder instead of using the LCD screen to frame photos. \u00a0It’s difficult to find a camera with a viewfinder that is also compact, and in the price range that I could accept. \u00a0I’m very happy with my choice of a compact camera and have given up my desire for a viewfinder.<\/p>\n

Finally, I really like to wear my camera on a neckstrap so that my hands are free and my camera is ready for use. \u00a0But compact cameras don’t seem to come with neckstraps or even the ability to use a neckstrap with them. \u00a0I would really like to have a place to attach a neckstrap on both sides of cameras instead of just a wrist strap on one side (in case Canon happens to see this review). \u00a0My solution to this problem was to buy a neckstrap lanyard<\/a> that attaches to the camera in place of the wrist strap. \u00a0I can use this as a neckstrap or wrap it around my wrist when I prefer.<\/p>\n

I highly recommend this camera for it’s speed, 20x optical zoom, compact size and overall great quality for its price!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
