"An AMAZING DEAL!"

I bought this Image Stabilization Digital Camera for a trip I'm taking abroad in February. The burst rate is pretty good, and the image stabilization is superb. Light, portable and equipped with a good sensor. It will take some getting used to. I was honestly surprised that I could find anything like this on Amazon.

"Awesome pics!"

With a prime lens, zoom is one less thing you worry about. Love the small compact size which will be perfect for traveling. I bought this camera right before I went on vacation to Hawaii.

Sony Final Thoughts

"I take it when I travel."

I get great photos, and it does not take long to import them to my laptop. The battery life is outstanding, lasted her whole two week trip with moderate use. She squeals in excitement every time I open Snapchat and let her take pictures with me. Full manual, Shutter Priority and Aperture Priority. If you receive an error message to turn off and then on remove the lens cap.

Canon SX420 BK K1 Final Thoughts

"It's a REAL camera."

Where this Canon SX420 BK K1 really shines though is the video recording oddly enough. I needed a Image Stabilization Digital Camera with a sensor larger than what is on my smartphone. I like everything about the camera. Takes great low light & fireworks pictures. The image I've shared was taken from over 15 feet away with just the optical zoom.

"Do use the handstrap!"

After taking a photo, it would not focus or operate, or so it seemed. Excellent two characteristics in a Image Stabilization Digital Camera. But overall I really liked this bundle and the quality is awesome! The zoom and autofocus makes it easy. Overall good camera and value but needs improvements in the hardware.

"Wonderful pictures."

The zoom and autofocus makes it easy. It's very easy to clean up noise in postprocessing by using noise ninja or neat image. Looking forward to seeing how the weight savings impact my hikes and travel. Make sure you format first or it may fry on you. This camera was such a great gift for my daughter’s big sister gift.

If the battery does run low, you can pop in normal alkaline. Canon, however, has always had colors that are exactly as our eyes see it! Love that a strap, case and lens cover came with it, among other things. But overall I really liked this bundle and the quality is awesome!

This is the must have Image Stabilization Digital Camera for me. Auto-ISO is on the conservative side, which I would like to have more control over. 10,000 photos with it and it worked well for its limited capabilities. Its great for quick pictures everywhere with clear pictures. Takes great low light & fireworks pictures.
