Great little camera
Great little camera at a wonderful price! We bought one of these for Christmas last year for our son and he loves it. Our youngest wanted a good camera for his birthday, so we got another for him. This camera takes stunning pictures and is very easy to operate. Offers a lot of nice features and the price was fantastic!

It’s was okay until it stopped working..
This camera was okay until the camera stopped working out the middle of no where. The picture quality was pretty decent. I tried new batteries, etc.. and it still did not work. Money gone down the drain for nothing. I had it for less than a year. I was skeptical of using canon products after this but I recently got a new camera the G9x mark ii, so hopefully this one will last.

If you have an Apple Mac, Forget it.
I bought this a month ago and have just tried to transfer pictures to my MacAir. Four hours and nine emails and two phone calls with Canon and they have informed me that no connections, wireless or USB will work with OS 10.13. The only option is to remove the SD card and plug it in to the Mac. Quite ridiculous.

pictures come out great
really impress with the easy handle of it and the amazing pictures that come in the auto mode. I am not so impress with the video capability which is at 720p and it is noticeable. Also not impress with the battery. I ran out fast compared to other cameras. If you decide to go for it I would recommend that you get a second battery as this camera also cannot be charge via micro USB.

I purchased this 2 weeks ago. I am 71 years old and I will admit that the tech was a bit overwhelming. I am neither a novice with camera's or computers (I build my own). I had to read and reread the manual to be able to take advantage of the camera's abilities.

This is such a good quality camera for the cost. I purchased it and it works so well. YOU JUST NEED A SD CARD which they do not speak on. I had originally thought this was a wifi only camera and you could instantly upload to thier cloud software, googledrive, etc. but when I had it in hands it was really cool and takes such good photos. *ALWAYS USE FLASH* @ASMOSC for art (The reaper, The balance, The savior god is real.

Utterly Disappointing
12 year old S3-IS takes way better pictures than this. Very disappointed.
All the specs of the SX420 are better, megapixels are more than 3X higher but the photos taken with my old S3 are clearly far superior.
The camera body of the SX420 is tiny and feels unsubstantial. If you have little hands this might not be an issue. Controls are much less easy to use than my old camera. Doesn't come with a neck strap although it has holes for it. The Wi-Fi and NFC features would have been awesome, just not worth keeping the camera for that alone.
I've been loyal to Canon ever since I purchased my first camera. My grandfather always had Canon. I haven't associated Canon with weak products until now.
I enjoyed the sales experience, the woman was wonderful. Return process, not so much.
Be advised that you will be responsible for return shipping if you order from this site.

Still Learning
I wanted this camera as a light weight camera to photograph birds. I have a higher end Canon camera and long lens that is very heavy and produces much sharper faster focusing. The SX420 is slow to auto focus and impossible to get shots of flying birds. It feels very flimsy and probably could not stand up to rough field conditions. It is good for still shots and taking general scenes, closeups and people. I will keep practicing.
