Camera is good, recording time is not
Camera video recording time is really bad! The pictures are great and the video is too, but the recording time is awful: only 2 minutes with the normal canon battery. To fix this you first have to update the firmware and then purchase better batterys.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Canon makes some of the best cameras on the market. I have a huge fleet of them myself. This point and shoot camera is great to have. Good price!
I bought this very same model recently from a good seller. I gave it to my sister-in-law. Then I realized that I would also like the same camera, so I purchased one for myself. It really does take terrific photos and videos.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great ZOOM.
Compact, fairly simple to operate. I suggest ordering the manual. You can download it from the web but I find it annoying to learn this way. I still prefer an actual book. You can take pictures without learning but there are a lot of features available. I took a picture of a woodchuck some 200' away with full zoom, it filled the frame.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

GREAT CAMERA FOR SO MANY REASONS!
This is an awesome superzoom camera and it's the second time I've bought this model! There are so many things to like about it. 1. It's small and lightweight enough to fit into your shirt pocket, great for a travel camera. 2. The 20x optical zoom (35mm equivalent of 25-500mm) yields sharp and nicely exposed images for such a small camera. 3. Unlike more recent models, it has a built-in GPS geotagging. Newer models no longer have this; instead you have to synch with your phone and have the phone GPS on the whole time which can drain your phone battery. With the SX280 HS you don't need to use a phone to record the GPS coordinates, and the GPS is only on when you turn on the camera (unless you disable the GPS embedding entirely). This feature was a must for me. 4. Manual control, program control, shutter or aperture control, auto control, and more: all of the settings you'd need for novice to advanced. 5. Exposure compensation right on a quick dial, also flash exposure controls. Sweet. 6. Three video settings including full 1080 video at 30FPS. 7. Multiple flash modes, metering modes, 8. 12.1 maximun megapixels is great for capturing images. 9. Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity allows you to transfer images wirelessly to your computer and by downloading Canon's free CameraWindow app you can instantly pass images to your iOS or Android devices and share them. 10. Low light performance up to ISO 6400 and optical image stabilizer. The reason I bought a second one is that the flash finally quit working after about 40,000 to 50,000 shots. I shoot a lot of pictures and often use the fill flash even in daylight. My original still works, but not the flash. Now I have a second one with a fully functional flash! This a great camera for serious amateurs, a great lightweight travel camera for professionals, and a good camera for novices who keep it in the "automatic" setting.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Can’t beat the zoom lens. Fits in your pocket
Yes it is a bit older but the zoom is incredible and the picture quality and movie quality beat GoPro. A good quality phone would take better pictures but the zoom on phones leaves a lot to be desired. This camera is quite pocketableVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Reccomend it
A decent compact camera with adjustable zoom with an easy to use set up menu. I bought it for the GPS wireless function and it seems to work for that fine. I'm out in the weather and needed a GPS capable camera and didn't want to buy a high end unit like a Nikon or Canon. I had no prior experience with this model and bought it solely on the recommendation of an instructor at the company that I perform work for and it does the job just fine. I will in fact be buying a second one shortly if that tells you anything.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Very happy. Nearly mint condition!
The camera looks amazing and is in amazing condition The pictures are very clean and high quality and the 20x zoom lets me get good up close photos of even some of the hardest to see or reach things. With a nice focus feature that will let me see the hair on a ant all in all the cameras function is amazing. There is nothing wrong with it at all. All the paint is left untouched and the screen/lense is also in great condition. The Camera Arrived a day earlier then exspect end and I'm very happy that I made this purchase. Thank you Kerso_Us.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

An Outstanding Value For The Money!
Wonderful little camera. Even though it doesn't have the most megapixels on the market, the quality of this camera is phenominal! It has a metal body (unlike so many others) and it's made in Japan, where all the better cameras are made. The settings and operation are super easy, so anyone can be taking breathtaking pictures in minutes. An outstanding value for the money!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
