The close focusing of the Canon PowerShot SX420 IS at wide-angle is a mere 1cm. The Canon PowerShot SX420 IS handled chromatic aberrations fairly well during the review, with purple and green fringing present around the edges of objects in high-contrast situations, as shown in the examples below. Auto mode uses a range between ISO 100 and ISO 800, or you can switch to one of the creative shooting modes to manually select these settings.

The Canon PowerShot SX420 only has five sensitivity settings at full resolution. Then come back and carry on reading the rest of this review.Īll of the sample images in this review were taken using the 20 megapixel SuperFine JPEG setting, which produces an average image size of around 7Mb. As we've already reviewed the SX430, all of the observations that we made about that model apply equally to the SX420, so we'll direct your attention to our Canon PowerShot SX430 HS IS review to read about how easy it is to use, rather than simply repeat ourselves here. Otherwise, the two cameras are the same, inside and out. Strangely, despite the bigger zoom lens, the SX430 is actually ever-so-slightly lighter than the SX420, weighing in at 323g vs 325g. In real-world-terms, this makes very little difference to your photography. The only difference is that the latter has a 45x rather than 42x zoom lens, with a slightly longer focal range of 24-1080mm versus 24-1008mm. The Canon SX420 HS IS camera is identical to the slightly more expensive, but more widely available Canon PowerShot SX430 HS IS model.

Other key features include Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity, 720p HD video capture in MP4 format, DIGIC 4+ Image Processor, 3.0-inch LCD screen with 230k dot resolution, and an intelligent Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) for both stills and movies. The Canon SX420 IS features a 20.5 megapixel 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor and a 42x optical zoom lens which provides an equivalent focal range of 24-1008mm in 35mm terms. The Canon PowerShot SX420 IS is an affordable super-zoom bridge compact camera.
