Review on πŸ“Έ Canon PowerShot SX420 Digital Camera Red Review: 42x Optical Zoom, Wi-Fi & NFC Enabled by Larry Boyd

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Small, portable and absolutely AMAZING

I came to Revain looking for a camera for vacation and travel. I only ever use my iPhone for photography and wanted to invest in something more professional that wouldn't break the bank. I'm by no means a photographer, but this camera definitely makes me feel like one. It is the perfect size for travelers as it fits perfectly in the hand as it is very small and portable. I find the picture quality amazing. I can zoom in on a tree from over 100 feet and it feels like I'm standing right in front of it! I haven't taken this camera on a trip to Europe yet but will update and post pictures I take once I do. I basically just played with it and took pictures of my dog or my sister. I turned on the selfie to show the flash - it was taken in total darkness. I wasn't even sure if it would come out clear, but wow! Look at the quality! One thing I want to highlight is Wi-Fi, which is maybe my favorite thing about this camera overall. I thought about buying the Canon Powershot SX410 which is a cheaper, slightly older version of this camera, but went for it because of the Wi-Fi capability. I can't brag about it enough. I can take a picture of something, click the Wi-Fi option on the camera, connect to Wi-Fi from my phone, open the free camera app, and send the picture straight from my camera to my iPhone. I can also delete this picture from my camera once I save it to my phone so I never run out of storage! Battery life is also very impressive and seems to stay charged for a long time (another reason it's great for travelers). And the time it takes to fully charge the battery is very short. I'm just a person who wanted a cool camera to take good quality pictures. I'm not a photographer or anything, but I love clean, crisp shots. If you're looking for a small, handheld camera that takes AMAZING pictures, has a KILLER zoom and flash, and has WiFi that lets you share your photos to social media within seconds of taking them, this is it right for you. . This camera should be way more expensive because it is absolutely amazing. 10/10 recommend!
