What I liked very well except for the image quality at the SX 280 HS is the automatic mode, which will quickly and simply awesome the scene and reliably selects the best program. In addition, the Camara is processed exemplary and looks classy. External Battery Switch is attending and helps if you use more than one battery.
All thing outweighs the Canon SX 280 HS in my opinion the negative.
1. The flash is placed unfavorably under the left finger and runs unexpectedly, making the Canon almost certainly fall out of his hands: Please get the strap wrapped around his right hand, I do it always and only because my HS have not wrecked.
2. The wheel does allow fast switching between programs, but you want to make other settings, so torments you look at it through countless menus. I find that some functions (eg serial frame) its own wheels make as it was implemented in one of the Samsung Camara z. B..
3. The switch is indeed sunk, but we caught him again and again instead of the shutter button.
4. The GPS position is not stored directly in JPG day and must subsequently be synchronized with the images. That, however, say that this is not a Canon shortcoming, it is not (I think) at the other different.
Absolutely outrageous is that in the movie mode after about 10 seconds recording the battery is reported as yet. This I have the adjustment of my daughter can not record and that's beyond repair and a Camara of 300 for us - class simply unforgivable. By the way, also recommended by Canon firmware update does not solve the problem.
Too bad ...
