Ease of Use

Front of the Canon PowerShot SX420 IS

The Canon SX420 HS IS camera is identical to the slightly more expensive, but more widely available Canon PowerShot SX430 HS IS model. The merely deviation is that the latter has a 45x rather than 42x zoom lens, with a slightly longer focal range of 24-1080mm versus 24-1008mm. In real-world-terms, this makes very little divergence to your photography. Strangely, despite the bigger zoom lens, the SX430 is actually ever-so-slightly lighter than the SX420, weighing in at 323g vs 325g.

Otherwise, the two cameras are the same, inside and out. Every bit we've already reviewed the SX430, all of the observations that we fabricated about that model utilise 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 utilize, rather than merely repeat ourselves hither. Then come up dorsum and carry on reading the rest of this review...

Image Quality

All 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.

Dissonance

The Canon PowerShot SX420 only has five sensitivity settings at full resolution. Machine mode uses a range between ISO 100 and ISO 800, or yous tin switch to 1 of the creative shooting modes to manually select these settings.

ISO 100 (100% Ingather)	ISO 200 (100% Crop)


ISO 400 (100% Ingather)	ISO 800 (100% Ingather)


ISO 1600 (100% Ingather)

Chromatic Aberrations

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.

Chromatic Aberrations 1 (100% Crop)	Chromatic Aberrations ii (100% Crop)

Macro

The close focusing of the Catechism PowerShot SX420 IS at wide-bending is a mere 1cm. It does mean that there'due south little light getting in when you practise that and the edge definition drops off leaving around 50% of the paradigm in focus.

Flash

The Canon PowerShot SX420 IS' wink has four modes: Auto, On, Off and Irksome Synchro, plus a separate setting to enable or disable red-eye reduction. Whether this is active or non, the camera successfully avoids any trace of cherry-red-heart.

Conclusion

Hands-upwards - we missed the Canon PowerShot SX420 IS when it was originally launched a few years ago, just decided to give it a whirl in 2020 just to see if a big super-zoom bridge photographic camera can withal cutting information technology. The short answer is but near, but just if you actually need such a huge zoom range - otherwise, most modernistic smartphones will outperform it in terms of usability, features and sometimes even paradigm quality.

A 42x optical zoom lens is still something that no smartphone can friction match - the much-vaunted 100x zoom on the contempo Samsung Milky way S20 is a low-res digital matter, with that smartphone but offering a true 10x optical zoom. Plus the Canon super-zoom has a proper mechanical optical image stabilisation system to ensure that all those super-close-ups are actually sharp and legible.

Otherwise, in that location'south niggling reason to also carry the Canon PowerShot SX420 too every bit your smartphone. Both devices employ a tiny 1/2.3-inch sensor, and with the SX420 topping out at ISO 1600, it's no better or even worse than modern smartphones in more than challenging low-light situations. It also suffers from not having a touch-screen in an era when almost every device does.

On the plus side, the Canon SX420 isn't as large as its 42x zoom would first suggest, and it's but equally easy to use as the virtually identical SX430 IS model that we've previously reviewed.

In summary, very little has inverse at the bottom-end of the compact camera market in terms of what the traditional camera manufacturers are offer, which in turn makes the Catechism PowerShot SX420 IS still just about worth recommending if a big zoom lens is at the top of your photographic camera wish-list.
