Canon sx260 a good camera ? Better for price range? Good zoom, sensor, smal size.

Hi.

I was thinking of getting a DSLR (and will be eventually), but for now would also like to get a good "all-around" camera that has a descent zoom and descent image quality. I noticed good reviews of the Canon sx260 and that it has a good zoom (20x I believe) and thought it would be a good "all around".

Would this camera be good for landscape photography as well? I like that it's under $300 bucks. Are there better cameras for the money? I'm looking for at least 20x zoom, IS, and good sensor, etc. Also close to pocket-sized.

Thanks a lot.

You can find a used dslr (maybe a t1i?) for around that price or just slightly more then that price.
