The Canon SX280 is truly a feature packed compact zoom camera, with a 20x optical zoom, wi-fi and GPS. Canon upgraded their processor over the previous model--a big change meaning better low light images and a faster burst speed of 14 fps (up to seven shots) or 3.8 fps continuous shooting. The SX280 shines for speed and features. Images are shot with a 1/2.3" CMOS sensor and f3.5-6.8 lens, which is around average for the price and category.

Andy
Hi, I’m Andy. I’ve been taking pictures for just about as long as I’ve been old enough to hold a camera. I studied photography in community college after high school but was encouraged to follow a career path that was more stable.
I do gigs here and there on the side but never took the leap to focus my efforts full-time. When Pam reached out to me through a mutual friend, I jumped on the opportunity to be a writer. Favorite type of photography: macro and street.
