The model to which you are referring gets high ratings by owners at http/www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/842847-REG/Canon_5900B001_PowerShot_SX_260_Digital_Camera.html
You can visit the B&H site and start a live chat with a rep and discuss your needs in a camera.

Before you make the plunge, read some reviews and take suggestions from the forum. Don't aim too low when choosing a camera. I've never heard anyone complaining that the camera they bought is too good.

Don't rule out used and refurbished cameras from dealers and manufacturers.
