I bought this for my daughter. It takes beautiful pictures, easy to run and light weight. She left it at my house. After using it, I decided I needed one too. Absolutely love it. My boyfriend has a much more expensive one, but prefers mine.

Very nice camera. Easy to use and takes really nice pictures. When you use the zoom it's hard to hold it still enough to avoid blurring, but a bi-pod fixed that issue.

Quality of photos was poor. Camera was fairly simple to use, however.

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.

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!

Great product. Highly recommend. They are cheap,the picture and video quality is better then expected. The only thing is if your taking this to capture videos for a trip I advice buying extra batteries.

I do YouTube videos, and this is small enough to be easily carried. Inside video with it is a challange though.

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.

Easy to use. Intuitive design. Can be as creative as you want to be. Or, simply point-and-shoot. Light and compact. Long battery life. Couldn't ask for more.

This camera is the perfect size for my six year old grandchild to grow with. It is easy to hold and has the features of a point and click. I like that it comes with a strap that he can wear on his wrist to protect the camera from being dropped.

This a good starter camera. Has enough zoom for far away shots and enough depth for wide angle shots. Plenty of options for picture, color, etc. Have yet to print/share pics but instructions seem clear.

Zoom Far. Share Away
Capture your family's precious moments with the PowerShot SX420 IS camera, whether it's a vacation, a party or just every day life. With a powerful 42x Optical Zoom (24-1008mm) and 24mm wide-angle lens, the PowerShot SX420 IS primed to capture the shots you need and can easily share them with the addition of built-in Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity for quick broadcast of your favorite shots. Whether shooting landscapes or faraway wildlife, the camera is ready to take on a versatile array of subjects thanks to its 20.0 Megapixel sensor and Canon DIGIC 4+ Image Processor, which help create crisp resolution and beautiful, natural images.
You can also create 720p HD video at the press of a button, zooming in and out while shooting. Images you'll want to keep and share are easy to achieve with Smart AUTO that intelligently selects the most appropriate camera settings to capture incredible images in a variety of situations. Fun is on the table with effects such as Fisheye, Toy Camera and Monochrome. For versatility and quality, you can't go wrong with the PowerShot SX420 IS camera.
42x Optical Zoom (24-1008mm)
Don't miss a moment with the versatility of the PowerShot SX420 IS camera's 42x Optical Zoom lens. It gives you a reach all the way from 24mm to 1008mm, which means if you're capturing your child playing sports at the far end of the field, you can still see their movements and expressions. A 24mm wide-angle lens enables easy capture of brilliant landscapes and large group portraits and the Optical Image Stabilizer helps ensure you get clear and virtually noise-free images whether you're shooting near or far.
Built-in Wi-Fi and NFC allows for easy sharing and transferring of images and videos
Built-in Wi-Fi technology allows for on-the-go convenience when you want to share your photos and videos with friends and family. Easily post your images to social networking and media sites - Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr and Google Drive - through CANON iMAGE GATEWAY directly from your PowerShot SX420 IS camera or save them to the online photo album to share anytime, anywhere. The camera can also connect directly to both compatible iOS and Android devices and upload images via the free Canon Camera Connect app without a computer. You can control the destination of your uploads to share with everyone or to select groups and even add comments. Sharing video is also easy with Wi-Fi equipped PowerShot cameras, which record video using the easy-to-share MP4 format.
Wi-Fi capability makes posting in real time possible, so you can keep everyone up to date with photos and video even as events unfold. Wi-Fi technology also allows you to transfer images to other Wi-Fi equipped PowerShot cameras or print your photos directly to a PictBridge (Wireless LAN) certified printer. Thanks to the newly added Wi-Fi Button, you can now connect in both Shooting mode and Playback mode for quick and easy operation. You can even turn on the camera and connect at the same time with just one press of the button, helping you get right to sharing and managing your files when you like.
Built-in NFC (Near Field Communication) Technology
PowerShot digital cameras with built-in NFC (Near Field Communication) technology provide fast connectivity with a single tap. Simply touch the NFC icon on your camera to your compatible Android device and the Camera Connect app will launch automatically for quick, easy sharing of your images. Built-in NFC technology also makes it simpler to install the app. If the app hasn't been installed yet, once you touch the devices together for the first time, the download screen will display automatically.
Simply touch the camera against an NFC-equipped device with the Canon Camera Connect app installed and a Wi-Fi connection is established - no camera operations required. Even if your camera is off, NFC turns the camera on and establishes the connection (confirming the camera's nickname and privacy settings before the first connection is required).
