A former Canon fan! CAUTION BURST ERROR!

Canon PowerShot SX 260 HS Digital Camera (GPS, 12.1 megapixels, 20x opt. Zoom, 7.6 cm (3 inch) display, image stabilized) gray (Camera)

Customer Review

One thing first: I am a fan of many years Canon cameras. Whether compact or SLR, I was always satisfied. As I have long wanted to once again set a new compact digital camera and our vacation is imminent I read Miscellaneous Teste lessons and finally decided for the Canon SX 260 HS. Yes, I have read in the reviews and I have also noticed two, which was a disturbing whistling sound when shooting video talk. I thought that 2 negative reviews over 15 are positive and it is therefore likely to be two exception. This was a mistake!

After unpacking quickly charged battery and then set date, etc. When the camera. Test pictures and made videos, and then immediately copied on iPad for watching. I was quite impressed with the pictures of the quality, in particular from the 20x zoom, so then immediately came the disillusionment when viewing the videos: The whistling sound was clearly audible here! The image quality of the video was very good, but this was just whistling unmistakable!

After that I started to do research on the internet and lo and behold, by this issue are likely very many, if not the entire series this camera be affected. On Amazon.com someone has even reported that Walmart (largest American Handl chain) has this type of camera completely away from his shelf! In a forum someone else in turn reported that even sending in the camera to Canon brought no improvement. The sad thing is that even a company like Canon that fact to conceal obviously trying to start a recall campaign instead.

A pity for a camera in this price and magnitude of this model has made very good pictures, but eventually I will indeed now and then make a few short home movies with it.

For those who are interested and looking at about the same price and order a camera: I have now the Sony DSC-HX20V bought and I must say I'm impressed! This compact camera delivers a sensational quality!
