Digitalcamerainfo reviews the Canon PowerShot SX260 HS and writes;
“The zoom range got a boost out to 20x (up from 14x), there’s a new image processor to work the noise out of those low-light shots, and a few functional and cosmetic changes to keep things fresh.”

Photographyblog reviews the Canon PowerShot SX260 HS and writes;
“Image quality is on a par with the previous SX230, that is to say very good. The employment of a back-illuminated sensor helps the SX260 to perform well in low light, with a usable ISO range of 100-800 and even the higher settings proving adequate for web use and smaller prints.”

PCMAG reviews the Canon PowerShot SX260 HS and writes;
“The SX260 did quite well in speed tests. Superzooms generally take a little bit longer to get going than standard compacts, as there is more time required for the larger lens to extend from the body. The SX260 HS starts up and shoots in 1.8 seconds, records a very short 0.2 second shutter lag, and can grab a photo ever 0.5 second in continuous drive mode.”

DCresource reviews the Canon PowerShot SX260 HS and writes;
“the PowerShot SX260′s photo quality is better than average in its class, and should serve its target audience well. Exposures were accurate in most situation, though like most compact cameras, the SX260 will clip highlights. Turning on the i-Contrast feature should help reduce that a bit. Colors were nice and vibrant, with no funny color casts.”

CNET reviews the Canon PowerShot SX260 HS and writes;
“In our tests we found shutter lag — the time it takes from pressing the shutter release to capture without prefocusing — was an excellent 0.3 second in good lighting and 0.6 in dimmer conditions. “

This Could Be the One
“Very good noise control — I haven’t tested it at 1600 or 3200 but several other review sites reveal surprising, low noise photos at those ISO levels. My copy is very sharp — no need to sharpen the photos it produces.” – By K. S. Bowen

Very good point and shoot
“The combination of 20x zoom and great image stabilization get fantastic shots. We were recently in New Orleans for JazzFest and took a lot of pictures far from the stage, zoomed in to a single performer and I was shocked by how good the images were.” – By leitweight

Perfect compact
“Bought this camera as soon as it came out as a supplement to my Nikon D7000. For such a compact camera it takes excellent pictures, also in low light situations. Great movies and lots of features, really impressed so far!” – By Lie Monique

Another Great Canon Camera
“The quality of the zoom photos is excellent and the IS feature is very effective. All our first day shots were ‘hand-held’ but, as with any longer zoom, a tripod always assures better quality.” – By MurSmith

Great Travel Camera
“I tried a few of the scene and effect modes and they seem to work fine. The Supervivid gave a very impressive brightly colored picture of my neighbor’s field and horses (see my uploaded images). The “fisheye” worked as expected.” – By Bruce A. Moon “ESLBruce”

Almost perfect travel camera
“I love the zoom. 20x optical plus 4x digital means a full 80x. I took a lot of pics at 80x during my trip and was pleased with the results. Even at 80x, the image stabilization was able to give me a clear pic in full sunlight.” – By Lee

Another winner from Canon

Amazing Camera! Very impressive
“Movies: Good quality with very clear sound. Optical zoom could be used for movies (& the sound of the zoom during the movie is extremely faint, not like some of the previous canon powershots).” – By N V
