Conclusion
With stylish looks, a touchscreen interface, a high-resistance build and responsive electronics, the Sony TX10 has plenty going for it. Unfortunately though, it's let down by a poor-quality lens.
The Canon PowerShot SX280 HS is a successful update of the SX260 HS, bringing Wi-Fi connectivity and the DIGIC 6 image processor for boosted responsiveness and improved picture quality. All in all, this is a very good superzoom compact. Still, competitors are already moving ahead, sometimes with better technology and a wider range of options.
