  • Key Specs
    • Effective Pixels: 20 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
  • General
    • Brand: Canon
    • Model Number: 1068C001
    • Product Name: PowerShot SX420IS 20.0-Megapixel Digital Camera
    • Color: Black
    • Digital Camera Type: Point and Shoot Cameras
  • Imaging
    • Image Sensor Type: CCD (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
    • Image Resolution (Display): 5152 x 3864 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
    • Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
    • Image File Format(s): JPEG, MP4 (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
  • Focus
    • Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
  • Exposure Control
    • Shutter Speeds: 1 - 1/2000 sec. (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
    • Brightness Control: false (Allows the camera to adjust the brightness of a captured image for optimal exposure.)
    • Burst Mode: false (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
    • Self Timer: true
    • Self-Timer Delay: 10 seconds
    • Shooting Modes: P, live view control, auto, portrait, face self-timer, low light, fireworks, fish-eye effect, miniature effect, toy camera effect, monochrome and more (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes. Examples include Aperture-Priority, Macro, and Manual modes.)
    • Panorama Mode: false
    • White Balance Modes: Auto, Daylight, Cloudy, Tungsten, Fluorescent, Fluorescent H, Custom (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
    • Effective Pixels: 20 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
  • Flash
    • Flash Modes: Automatic, Off, Slow sync (The flash feature emits light to increase the brightness of a subject in dimly lit environments. Common modes include Auto and Red-Eye Reduction.)
    • Integrated Flash: true
  • Display
    • Display Type: LCD
    • Screen Size: 3 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
    • Screen Resolution: 230,000 dots (Screens come in a range of resolutions (measured in pixels, horizontal x vertical). The higher the resolution, the greater the picture quality.)
    • Touch Screen: false (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
  • Video
    • Slow Motion Recording: false
  • Storage
    • Number of Memory Card Slots: 1
  • Compatibility
    • Tripod/Monopod Mountable: true (A support function that allows the device to be mounted to monopods and tripods for leveling and stability.)

    • Remote Compatible: false
  • Features
    • Face Detection: false (A function that automatically detects human faces and then sets focus and appropriate exposure to capture them.)
    • Smile Mode: false (When enabled, this mode works in conjunction with face detection to automatically take a photo when a smile is detected.)
    • Integrated GPS: No
    • Records Audio: true

Q: Does it have a mic jack???

A: No, this model does not have a microphone jack.

Q: is this camera good for beginners? also does it take good pictures of nature and things such as flowers and sunsets?

A: Yes absolutely! It defaults to auto mode and figures out everything. All of our photos have turned out great. I'm so glad I got this camera.

Q: What is the Max amount of Memory disk can this camera use?

A: This model can use up to 64GB SD cards.

Q: looking for an easy use camera for internet jewelry photos. my other cameras and phone are not adequate for the sharp look.

A: Its a easy camera to use, I took it to Tokyo with me and tajestajes excelents pictures I eill give tumbs up

Q: Does this camera come with an attached lens cap.

A: Yes, and a strap to keep it attached to the camera

Q: Could I put the pictures on a thumb drive at the end of the vacation, (to print them from this drive)

A: Not directly from the camera, but if you take the SD card and stick it in your computer, you can then transfer them to a thumb drive. You could also download them to your computer first.

Q: Does this camera have a view finder?

A: Yes, the camera has a view finder.

Q: Does this camera take good low light pictures? In other words night time pictures? Like the moon

A: Yes, it does. There is an image stabilizer function that helps steady the image during long exposures. Just got back from Italy, no flash or tripods allowed in some museums. Got excellent hand held shots even at 1/8 of a second...best to use a tripod when possible though.
