Conclusion
Nothing about the Optimus L5 makes it stand out from the competition. The multimedia features are lacking and the display, frankly, is mediocre. It does, however, have an enjoyable user interface and acceptable battery life. The L series appears to be having some trouble finding its place on the market.
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.
