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.

"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 Point & Shoot 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.
