The canon power shot sx420 is a neat little “point and shoot” camera. Great focal length (see chameleon and fork pictures) good zoom that stays clear and doesn’t get grainy. This was a gift for some one who thought they might like to get into photography but doesn’t understand terms like iso. I think this will be a good camera for a beginner as it allows you to change picture resolution, light and focus while looking, but has a feature where it tells you the photos info so you can understand. Usually a Nikon fan but same price range you can’t get wifi enabled- this has WiFi - and it works well! You need to dig a bit to find the camera functions and not everything is as intuitive as I’d like, but I would say overall very good. Compact size makes a big difference for this camera. It’s very light and handles well. Night mode is fairly good- husky photo was low light. You need to figure out the settings with in the mode- but it’s doable. I took away one star because with everything it DOES do, you should be able to do more outside of the “auto” mode. Will update review once present is assessed by giftee-
