Canon PowerShot SX280 HS - A Review of the Best Camera Available Today
 



The Canon PowerShot SX280 HS could very well be the top camera on the market today. Whether you are in the market for a camera for yourself or as a gift for someone else, chances are that this versatile camera covers the needs of nearly any photographer, from a bona fide professional to an absolute beginner. Here are some of the features of this amazing product, and what you can look forward to if you decide to grab one for yourself.

The fact that the PowerShot SX280 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 find details you never thought possible through the huge zoom and wide-angle lens, and the camera's 12.1 Megapixel High-Sensitivity CMOS Sensor and DIGIC 6 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. State-of-the-art advancements include improved Smart AUTO that optimizes settings for 58 predefined shooting situations, Face ID that prioritizes pre-registered faces, and GPS for identifying and storing your shooting locales.

At just over 1-1/4 inches thick, the PowerShot SX280 HS is a sleek digital camera with a powerful 20x Optical Zoom. But since its lens embodies the quality and legacy of Genuine Canon Optics, its benefits go far beyond making the camera small enough to slip into a pocket and carry anywhere. With a range of 25mm-500mm (35mm equivalent), the lens gives you the ability to capture the full breadth of scenes, including details you've never captured previously. Images are bright and vibrant with stunning clarity courtesy of Optical Image Stabilization.

Handheld shooting often leads to camera shaking, making photos and videos blurry. Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer is a sophisticated system that utilizes lens-shift technology to correct undesired camera movement. It makes handheld photography more practical, providing excellent image quality in many difficult shooting situations: outdoors at dusk, inside without a flash, and even at the telephoto end of the zoom range without a tripod. For photos, it allows for shooting at slower shutter speeds, accommodating more low-light shooting situations than ever before without having to boost ISO sensitivity. With camera shake and vibration reduced, your result is a sharper, steadier image. And since it is an optical system, there is none of the image degradation typical with electronic image stabilizers.

The Canon HS SYSTEM allows you to take bright, clear photos in an even broader range of shooting situations. Stunning low-light shots are possible with minimal noise and maximum detail in highlight and shadow areas. This system is the result of two technologies brought together in PowerShot cameras: a high-sensitivity imaging sensor, which manages to capture increased light; and the DIGIC 6 Image Processor, which actively reduces noise via high-speed image processing. The 12.1 Megapixel Canon CMOS sensor in the PowerShot SX280 HS incorporates advanced light reception technology that increases sensitivity. The DIGIC 6 Image Processor provides a significant boost in noise reduction, expanding the usable ISO range to an astonishing high of ISO 3200. The Canon HS SYSTEM thus lets you use higher shutter speeds to capture clearer shots with reduced noise and blur.

The PowerShot SX280 HS is even equipped with enhanced on-board Wi-Fi technology for on-the-go convenience when you want to share what you've captured with friends, family and the whole world.

To sum up, the Canon PowerShot SX280 HS is one of the best all-around cameras out there. Click hereto discover more about this amazing product.read on
