...My SX260, the lens was a...Dud! to say the least, so I was missing this little P&S to knock around, so found this baby on my local online market, for $40.00, and let me tell ya at the least to my eye, this little fella, is in another league;)

I have an SX240 that is the same camera as the SX260 without the GPS. Most pictures taken outside on a sunny day have a lot chromatic aberration. On zoom lenses, usually the problem is in the edges of the images, but with this camera it appears frequently in the center too. I tried to use smaller apertures, but it didn't reduce this problem. Was this the problem with your camera?

By the way, I also bought a used SX230 (same as the SX220 with the GPS) to replace the SX240. The image quality is much better!

WAddayathink?;)

Nice shot!

The first obligatory shot of the year of our Robin;) SOOC just basic PP and resized...

Thanks RGBRGB,

And yes unfortunately, I should have done my homework better the first time when  I acquired the sx260, as it seems that there were many variations of this model, indeed in my copy, the lens, was nowhere near sharp as the SX220  W/A and F/T, and as you mentioned, the CA now that I recall, was more pronounced, bottom line, apart from the more tele zoom, that you get with sx260, the SX230/220 is a way better cam, ( got used at the pop up flash every time u turn on the cam:( ah did I mentioned that the battery last longer because It does not carry the GPS?;)…
