Canon PowerShot SX420 IS

 

This PowerShot is a good fit for basic snapshots, but beyond a really powerful zoom lens, the SX420 IS does not deliver the performance needed for low light shooting or action photography. Read more in our Full Conclusion.

Very powerful zoom lens ; Effective optical image stabilization ; Dedicated Auto mode button ; Strong built-in flash ; Built-in Wi-Fi
