Re: Still loving it 5 years later

I loved mine too, but replaced it in August with the sx730 and have not reached for it once since. The 730 is a bit bulkier but the pictures are nicer and the zoom, wow, cant get over how great it is to have double the zoom of the 280. Also macro, I can get a much better macro shot.

I never did much with video, but now that I can, I actually have done a lot of really great video, and the battery goes long without a charge.

I'm not ready to let the 280 go, and probably never will, I'm sure there will be a time I want something a little lighter to carry in a pocket. The low light ability is amazing and a flash is rarely needed.
