The SX260 HS has three full-resolution continuous-shooting options. Unfortunately, with the lens extended it can take longer for it to focus and occasionally it will shoot first before it focuses, though these are common imperfections for compact megazooms. In our tests we found shutter lag - the time it takes from pressing the shutter release to capture without prefocusing - was an excellent 0.3 second in good lighting and 0.6 in dimmer conditions. It goes from off to first shot in 2.5 seconds and then it's an average of 2.1 seconds from shot to shot after that. Shooting performance is somewhat mixed, at least as compared with other high-end compact megazooms. Also available for movies is a high-speed option for capturing 30-second slow-motion clips at 120fps or 240fps at resolutions of 640x480 pixels and 320x240 pixels, respectively. All but the Toy Camera and Fish-eye are available for movies. Those include Canon's standard Color Accent and Color Swap options as well as a Toy Camera Effect, Soft Focus, Monochrome, Super Vivid, Poster Effect, Fish-eye Effect, and Miniature Effect. With the lens fully extended, you only get three settings, though, f6.8, f7.1, and f8, so the lens is really slow at the telephoto end.

You get semimanual and full manual control over shutter speed and apertures as well as manual focus with a safety for fine-tuning. The manual shooting options are better than on most compact megazooms.

Shooting options on the SX260 HS run the gamut from simple point-and-shoot options to full manual controls.

Photos are noisy and soft even at lower ISOs (though it's only noticeable if you're pixel peeping). The lens isn't terribly bright at either end. It doesn't have all the modes that others in its class have and it's a bit (and I mean a bit) slower in some areas of its shooting performance.

I honestly had trouble finding bad points of this camera.
