Re: choosing a travel zoom

Ken at this link talks a lot about this SX280 battery video problem and that the SX700 fixes it.

http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Canon_PowerShot_SX700_HS/

He also notes the IS is better than the SX260 you have now.  5 stops versus 4 stops (in the older SX260 review same site)

And he reports in sunny conditions the SX700 screen is usable.  (the Sonys are the worst for that.. I find it  very hard to use my HX50 in the sun, but my SX260 is fine)
