Canon's compact 20x zoom travel camera — the PowerShot SX280 HS with GPS and WiFi.

The Canon PowerShot SX280 HS is a compact travel camera from 2013 with 20x optical zoom covering 25-500mm equivalent, 12.1MP HS CMOS sensor, GPS, and WiFi. The HS system improves low-light performance. GPS records location data. WiFi enables smartphone sharing. A practical travel compact with useful location-tagging features.

Image quality is typical of 1/2.3-inch sensors — adequate for casual use. 20x zoom provides useful reach. HS system improves high-ISO. GPS embeds location data — useful for travel documentation. Full HD video. WiFi for wireless sharing. The combination of zoom, GPS, and WiFi was advanced for compact cameras in 2013.

Fixed 20x zoom. Weight is approximately 233 grams — pocketable. Build quality is basic consumer. The GPS feature adds genuine value for travel documentation. WiFi was still uncommon in compacts in 2013. The 25mm wide-angle start is useful for groups and landscapes.

Very cheap used. Check GPS, WiFi, and zoom. The GPS feature remains useful for location documentation. Outdated image quality vs smartphones. Only worth considering at very low prices where the GPS, WiFi, and optical zoom provide genuine value.
