I wouldn't certainly be dashing out and buying ANY of Canons products, not after this fiasco. Canon have gone way down in my estimation I would probably wait, wait and wait 'and then' read all the reviews before even considering.

If Canon has any brains they would revert to double AA or AAA batteries forget about keeping up with their competitors..... this they failed to do with the with the SX280.... other cameras last two or three times as long when shooting videos, if not far longer - why can't Canons?

Having experienced AA and AAA batteries in a camera, I prefer the Li-ion proprietary batteries, which have higher capacity and last for years, unlike the AA and AAA batteries.

About the SX-280, we went out and bought the Sony version, even though we preferred one from Canon. I guess Canon has bigger fish to fry.

The Sony version is the Cyber-shot HX-50V.

It's a shame, but from what I can see no other brand does a daily digest video 😞
