Who came up with the only with the flash on the site? - Otherwise, very good

[Supply and equipment]
The Canon PowerShot SX 280 is supplied with battery, external battery charger, neck band and a quick start guide as. On the device itself, there is still a small tripod mount, side AV Out and an HDMI port. The display located on the camera is a nice size and has a good resolution. All buttons are located on the right side.

[Handling]
I am familiar with a Canon Powershot, my past was the Canon PowerShot A530 digital camera (5 megapixels). In this respect, the menu operation for me was true, of course, much more modern than the old model, but by getting used to her not difficult. In addition, all functions are well understood and displayed on the display, so I can imagine that you also intuitively very easy to find your way.
The camera itself is small and has little contact surface for the fingers and hands to hold. And the absolutely big gripe here: The flash is extendable with top left exactly at the point where you intuitively the camera grabs a stabilizing effect. The fact that the flash also only extends when it is needed, it does not happen to me often that I have the finger right there and the flash can not exit properly and the camera must be restarted. This is of course just then super annoying if you wanted to make a quick snapshot. I realize that was by the zoom lens and the extendable probably centered no place for it, but this solution is unfortunate.

[FEATURES]
The camera has all the common shooting functions from sports to portrait and a great "Discreet" mode and of course the automatic that I use most frequently. For Kundigeren there are also manual settings. In addition, there are a few creative filters that offer sometimes nice gimmicks; whether I so often use the "fisheye effect" remains to be seen. :-) However, the camera also has the function of a "film diary", that is, four seconds before a photo shoot they filmed shortly and you can then really create a small diary, as well as face recognition, to which one can save even names and birth dates. You might want to edit the photos with the camera and even make movies.
To use the wireless function, you need to on the computer and the software installed on the smartphone app; Did not work without unfortunately.

[USE AND RESULTS]
Especially in the automatic mode of use is easy. Focusing, possibly back a bit and simply press the shutter button. The different modes are nice gimmicks and funny alternatives. The photos are crisp and clear even without manual touching up.
The video recordings are of good quality, although I personally do not really often use.
For battery life I could no special notice, I find them absolutely average and therefore within the scope. - If one snaps photos. When zooming in the video recording function, I had at first but the same problems as they have been here many described: The camera turned from easy. After the firmware update, this is a little better and Viseoaufnahmen are possible.

[Conclusion]
Almost a bit oversized for the pure Knips- and Snapshot use, but a great camera with good results - only annoys the position of the flash and one should maybe rather than use to take pictures for films!
