Canon PowerShot SX420 IS Digital Camera (Black)
All-In-One Superzoom Point-and-Shoot – Massive 42x Zoom with Intelligent Image Stabilization
The black Canon PowerShot SX420 IS is a highly versatile, pocket-friendly bridge camera engineered to bring incredibly distant subjects into intimate view. Pairing a 20.0 Megapixel 1/2.3″ CCD sensor with the fast DIGIC 4+ image processor, this compact shooter delivers crisp, vibrant high-resolution still images and fluid HD 720p video.

The centerpiece of the SX420 IS is its phenomenal 42x optical zoom lens, mapping a vast 24-1008mm equivalent focal range. This allows you to smoothly transition from sweeping wide-angle landscape shots to extreme telephoto stadium or wildlife framing without swapping gear. Backed by a multi-mode Intelligent IS system to combat handheld camera shake and featuring built-in Wi-Fi with NFC for instant smartphone pairing, this camera provides a stress-free, all-in-one imaging solution for travelers and families alike.

Key Features & Astounding Telephoto Reach
Massive 42x Optical Zoom Lens: Spans an incredible 24-1008mm equivalent focal spectrum, letting you frame everything from broad architectural interiors to distant mountain peaks and landmarks.

20.0MP CCD Sensor & DIGIC 4+ Processor: The combined imaging core realizes notable clarity, rich color rendering, and low-light sensitivity up to ISO 1600. It also supports 2.2 fps continuous burst shooting to help capture moving subjects.

Intelligent IS Stabilization Matrix: Actively detects your movement and shooting environment to deploy specialized stabilization profiles on the fly:

For Stills: Normal IS corrects for common handheld jitters; Panning IS ignores deliberate lateral motion for action tracking; Macro (Hybrid) IS counteracts shift-type blur during close-ups; and Tripod Mode automatically turns off the system when parked securely.

For Video: Dynamic IS dampens walking tremors at wide angles; Powered IS stabilizes heavy hand tremors at extreme telephoto distances; and Active Tripod IS irons out micro-vibrations on a static stand.

Dedicated Built-In Wi-Fi & NFC Sharing: Wirelessly transmit your photos and movies directly to a linked smartphone or tablet via the Canon Camera Connect app. A physical, dedicated on-body Wi-Fi button bypasses complex menus to connect your device instantly for wireless sharing or remote shutter control.

Streamlined 3.0-Inch LCD Monitor: A large 3.0-inch 230k-dot rear LCD screen serves as a bright canvas for composing shots, evaluating focus, reading camera diagnostics, or navigating the system menus.

Creative Automation & Power Efficiency
Intelligent Smart AUTO: Eliminates all guesswork by automatically scanning the scene and instantly selecting the optimal exposure adjustments based on recognized background and lighting parameters.

Creative Scene Effects & Shooting Profiles: Features specialized presets like Low Light, Portrait, and Fireworks modes to optimize exposure under challenging scenarios. Users can also apply in-camera creative filters including Fisheye Effect, Toy Camera Effect, and classic Monochrome.

Energy-Saving ECO Mode: Intelligently reduces screen power consumption when the camera sits idle between shots, heavily extending your battery life to ensure more shooting time during long day trips.

Dual Video Formats: Records HD 720p video at a smooth 25 fps, alongside a legacy VGA 640 x 480 format running at 30 fps for web-friendly file sizes.
