SX260 last Wednesday and have taken about 700 shots and a few quick 5 minute video. Without writing a novel, here are the high/low points of this unit. In addition to this unit, I also purchased a couple of aftermarket batteries (and after market A/C adapters for about $5.00 each) for about $5.00 each and the batteries work fine. With the battery (original and aftermarket) I was able to get over 300 shots (50% flash) with zooming and playback and the battery meter still showed about 25% charge remaining.

Pro's
Zoom - very long for a subcompact camera 20x optical, total 81x combined (yes 81 times!)
Image Stabilizer - Excellent (far superior than the DSC-HX9V); Even at 81x the picture did not come out of focus, but of course not as sharp. I think it's still acceptable

Wide-Angle Lens

Scenes - A few scenes; I think the portrait, sepia, B/W works real well (the Portrait+ suppose to blur the picture a bit, but it's not to my liking) It has a few effects (fish eye, toy, miniature) that's very effective and can be fun for creative shots.

Auto Mode - was able to pick the correct type of scene almost all the time; it has an easy mode, and smart auto. Not sure why they have an easy mode, but the smart auto works great
Size/Weight - very compact and weigh's 8.2 oz. I would have prefer if the lens was flushed with the unit, but at 20x it may not have been possible

With so many cameras out there how do you pick "the one"?
This greatly depends on what you are looking for, how much you want to spend, how often you will use it, and your level of expertise.

I personally am an amateur but own 14 cameras and just enjoy taking photos.
I did need a better camera with lots of features for my job as a Realtor though and the HS20 was my choice. The right one at that.

I have found some cameras have so many options and throw out so much technical information that it makes buying or using a camera confusing or like you are doing it wrong. This isn't the case, we are all in the same boat.
I prefer Fujifilm cameras for quality and ease of use. If you simply leave the camera setting on "AUTO EXR" it will adjust to the scene or shot you are taking very intuitively.
The pictures come out amazing. Unless you plan on blowing up 10 foot pictures then 16MP will always be more than enough quality for your needs.
I haven't had any problems with the camera running hot or malfunctioning.

It is an amazing camera at a great price that packs tons of features while still being user friendly enough for a first timer (simply point, shoot, you have a pro picture) or advanced enough for the seasoned pro.

I highly recommend this camera and will continue to be an avid Fujifilm camera buyer.

I buy over 400 items a year from Amazon and always give an honest review in order to help those trying to make a purchase decision.
This product rates 5 stars for use-ability, construction and price.
