Conclusion
|
The Pentax K-30 is basically a pared-down version of the K-5 SLR, with which it shares plenty of basic specs (except its shutter, which is much noisier). Picture quality and general handling are very good, and the K-30 offers plenty of exclusive extras for a camera at this price point. However, the body isn't as pleasant to handle as some competitor models and the video mode really needs updating. |
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. |

Cons
|
- No rubber thumb-rest (comfort is debatable) - Live View is still slow - DA L 18-55 mm lens can vary in quality from one model to another - Shutter release is noisy - Limited video mode: no continuous autofocus, mono sound - AA battery adapter is an optional extra |
- Some may not like the electronic pop-up flash mechanism - Battery life is a little tight (210 photos with GPS off) - Screen is a little outdated compared with some competitors (resolution could be higher, no touch-controls) - Limited Wi-Fi functionality |
