"Hi there,
I would like to know if there's any way I can use my Canon Powershot sx420-IS as a webcam to do live stream on FB or Youtube?"
Thanks for your question about using Your Canon Powershot SX420 IS as a webcam for live streaming. That seems to be a hot topic now that the restrictions from the Covid-19 pandemic are affecting how we meet and socialize.
Canon makes software specifically for some of its cameras to be used as webcams. The SX420 IS is not listed as one of them. You'll find related posts that will help you:

So my question is this.is $125 to much to pay or a SX420IS. i plan on keeping this, but its came from the pawn shop with none off the accessories. and dose anyone want to sell their old stuff to me?
thaks so much!"
Hi Wendy,
Thanks for your question about the 420SX IS camera and a good price for a used one. The price you quoted of $125 is probably inline with what you'll find elsewhere, but it really depends on what condition it's in.
The best strategy when buying a used camera is to make sure you can test it after you buy and still return it in a reasonable amount of time. I just bought a used lens for my Canon 70D, have tested it thoroughly over the last 3 days, and am quite happy with both the price and the condition it's in.
The SX420 IS fairly new (2016) so it has some nice technology built into it. Canon's SX Cameras have been very popular to "bridge" the gap between point and shoot cameras and Canon DSLR cameras.

how do I download images from my canon sx420si to my laptop
Hi Maire
Thanks for asking about copying your photos from your Canon Powershot SX420 IS. You have two different ways to upload to your computer. You can either tether your camera via a cable or you can remove your SX420 memory card and use an adapter to copy the photos. I always use the 2nd method.

New to the photography scene entirely, decided to buy a camera spur of the moment, I do a lot of macro photography but didn't wanna spend thousands of dollars. I bought a canonSX420IS. I made this purchase because Walmart had an advertisement for a 10x macro lens attachment for this camera, but it doesn't look upon arrival that any attachments for this model. Is there a slip over style of macro lens attachment that might work with this model digital camera of do I need to start shopping again ?🤦🏼‍♂️ The camera does work really well and the macro setting on the camera takes some pretty nice pictures on its own, but I'd like to get a little closer if at all possible.
Hi Derrill
Thanks for asking about a macro lens attachment for the canon SX420 IS. The SX420 IS is built with a fixed, non-interchangeable lens without filter threads. It does not take traditional screw on filters (to magnify) which could act as an attachment to get into a closer macro view of your subject.
