I don’t have a lot of photography or non-phone camera experience. So, I really just jumped into the DSLR world with this camera. Having this for a week, I really enjoy it for how much it can do.Seems like a lot of the reviews here are people that don’t understand how cameras work (ISO, aperture, shutter speed). You DO NOT have full control over aperture or shutter speed. It’s an entry level camera. If you want full control, buy a Rebel T5! The specs are not professional either (they’re mid-range at best), so don’t expect your quality of pics to be super awesome starting out, you need practice. This camera is a tool, you have to control it. It’s not going to take great pics by itself!Here’s a few of my favorite pics I’ve taken in the past week. Enjoy! 🙂

The zoom on this thing is amazing, this is and actual picture of the moon my wife took, and it’s not even at it’s full zoom, it could get a bit difficult to take the shot.

I’ve had this only a few days and glad I have it. I bought it to take pics of the total eclipse of the sun on Aug. 21. I’ve been aiming it at the sun – WITH APPROPRIATE FILTER – and the 1000 mm lens is tolerably good. Blue Bonnets in my back yard 75 yards away are very sharp. Haven’t been able to shoot the sun yet. I have used a Canon AE-3 and a pair of 500mm mirror lenses for a number of years and this camera seems equal to them. It is extremely light weight and very easy to operate. One thing I dislike intensely about all digital cameras I’ve seen is a lack of a facility for a cable release. With a 1000mm lens a cable release seems indispensable. So far that is the only drawback of this camera.

I took advantage of buying a Refurbished Camera and saving at least $80 over all the other SX420’s available at that time. In fact, I was a little concerned about the quality because of the very low price, $100. When I opened the box which arrived right on time I was pleasantly surprised. It looks like and functions like a new camera. I am very happy with the seller and the quality of the camera.

For my first camera I am very happy with this one! It’s smaller than I expected but that’s okay because it actually fits my hands really well and the grip is comfortable. It’s super easy to learn how to use, I haven’t even looked at the instructions yet and I’ve already learned about 80% of its features. The flash is incredibly bright so if you’re around someone with light sensitivity I’d probably not use the flash, that bad boy is serious (which is a very good thing)! It takes a moment to focus but that just gives good time to really make sure it’s the shot you want. I like the wifi feature and that you can name your camera. All in all, it’s a great beginners camera and I’d definitely recommend it to any new photographers out there.

Amazing pictures! I love my camera so much. You can get beautiful pictures out of this camera, with out needing to spend 400$ on some camera to get the same quality. Its the photograper skill more so than the camera. Practice makes perfect for sure with this camera. I’m by no means a professional. But I do take many many photos. From people to still life to the moon. I love taking photos of the moon. But anyways, this camera is a wonderful option.

Both pond sample pictures were taken hand-held through a double-pane window about 35 feet from the subjects. The turkey vulture picture was taken through a double-pane window, hand-held and about 175 feet away. Those who complain about picture quality are doing something wrong. I now own two of these cameras–almost instant on so you can capture great shots. The amazing thing is the equivalent 35mm camera focal length on the lens is 1,000 mm when in pure optical zoom. Inexpensive, fast, great picture quality and fantastic image stabilization–no tripod needed. If you’re looking for great flash, you’re looking at the wrong camera. I know a thing or three about cameras and photography; simply, you don’t need to know anything to take great pictures with these. You can remove the SD card or hook directly to computer with USB cord. Apparently Wi-Fi is another feature which I haven’t attempted. Buy this camera and impress your friends with the great pictures you take!

First I bought a Coolpix which had wifi. I never could get the wifi to transfer pics to my iPad and the camera was too small and the controls too close to each other to operate the camera. After I found the Coolpix a new home, I bought this Powershot SX420.First, the camera is large enough to hold still and to operate the controls. I have arthritis, my hands are a little stiff but I can use this camera without any problem. The thumb rest beside the movie button didn’t stop my thumb from sliding, so I put a small square of sticky back Velcro there to use for a thumb grip. Problem solved.The wifi is very easy set up. Pictures transfer painlessly to my pad or the photo printer.The long zoom makes the SX420 a great kayaking camera. Pictures of wildlife along the shoreline are very clear.This is a great little camera to have fun with when you’re tired of your big camera that seems to take itself so seriously.

What a wonderful camera! It’s light. It’s photos are SO REAL. And it’s SO EASY to operate. I bought it in RUBY RED, and I can FIND IT anywhere, even in the dark. Its battery holds an extended charge for many photos.I bought a couple of backup batteries and a backup charger to have on hand.

I came to Amazon looking for a camera to take on vacations and trips. I only ever use my iPhone for pictures, and wanted to invest in something slightly more professional that wouldn’t break the bank. I am in no way a photographer, but this camera sure makes me feel like one. It’s the perfect size for travelers, as it fits in your hand perfectly, as it’s very small and portable. I think the picture quality is absolutely stunning. I can zoom into a tree from over 100 feet away and it looks as if I’m right in front of it! I haven’t taken this camera on my trip to Europe yet, but will update and post the pictures I take once I do. I’ve mostly just played around with it, taking pictures of my dog or sister. I included a selfie to show the flash – that was taken in a pitch black room. I wasn’t even sure it would come out clear, but wow! Look at the quality!One thing I would like to address is the wifi, which might be my favorite thing about this camera as a whole. I contemplated buying the Canon powershot SX410, which is a cheaper, slightly older version of this camera, but opted for this because of the wifi feature. I can’t boast about it enough. I can take a picture of something, click on the wifi option on the camera, connect to the wifi from my phone, open the free camera app and send the picture directly from my camera to my iPhone. I can also delete that picture from the camera once I’ve saved it to my phone, so I’ll never run out of space! The battery life is also very impressive and it seems to stay charged for a long time (another reason it’s great for travelers). And the time it takes to fully charge the battery isn’t long at all.I’m just a person who wanted a cool camera to take nice quality pictures. I’m not a photographer or anything near, but I love clean, crisp quality shots. If you want a small, portable camera that takes AMAZING quality pictures, has a KILLER zoom and flash, and has a wifi feature that allows you to share your pictures on social media in the matter of seconds after taking the picture, this is for you. This camera should be so much more expensive that it is because it’s absolutely amazing. 10/10 recommend!
