Canon sx260? Do you own one?

[RVRCLC]

I'm thinking of getting a Canon Powershot sx260

for a small camera when I do not want to carry my

Nikon DSLR.

 

Can anyone share their experience with this model?

 

Would it be a good camera to use during a European tour?

 

(I am NOT interested in information about any other camera brand or model!)

I have one and got it just a month ago, but have taken it on a trip and loved it. Like all small compact cameras, it does have issues with low light and getting a true shallow depth of field. But the 20x zoom is great for such a small camera. Leaving the GPS feature on does use the battery, in fact I would get a second one just have as a backup. I highly recommend it! Let me know if you have any specific questions. I cannot post images at full res here, but I sure there are plenty online.
