I am an amateur photographer, was long awaited by purchasing a new camera and me then for the PowerShot SX270 (blue) decided. GPS and Wi-Fi are not so important to me, why not the 280. In short, I am - to a lesser extent - very satisfied. In a pilgrimage I photographed selected motifs, have repeatedly looked at the images on the screen and some deleted, changed settings. The battery lasted through until the evening, a total of 120 photos. Is not much but still was satisfied. For videos you should adjust unfortunately only a few minutes, otherwise the battery is empty. Have therefore gained me a second battery. For image quality: The camera takes sharp, true-color images, image noise is virtually a non-issue. The display also shows the pictures very nice, right into the corners, at. The many setting possibilities evaluate the PowerShot SX 270 on addition, because you can get even more out of image quality. A total of 4 points for the battery performance 1 point deduction.
