Last year bridge cameras became overly popular because they had far reaching zooms and the DSLR look that appealed to most audiences. However, a sub-segment of cameras also started gaining popularity and this genre of cameras came to be known as travel compacts. They offered the luxury of having a large zoom lens along with the ability to be pocketable as opposed to the bridge cameras. Building up on their existing range of PowerShot compact cameras, Canon has recently taken the wraps off the SX260 HS which is a successor to the SX230 HS.
