📷 Canon PowerShot SX500 IS 16.0 MP Digital Camera: 30x Zoom, Wide-Angle Stabilized, 3.0-Inch LCD (Black) Review

First let me say that I am not a photographer and I know this is not a professional camera. I bought this camera so I can take good pictures of my kids growing up over the years, but my iPhone seems to take about the same quality. However, I didn't have an iPhone when I bought this camera, so it was a good investment at the time. It's a fairly light, not-so-bulky camera that takes decent pictures for everyday shooting. It has a good zoom range without sacrificing image quality too much. There…

This is an amazing camera with a great range of features. My daughter is just starting to get interested in photography and instead of investing in a DSLR we decided to give this a try. After reading many reviews this camera seemed too good to be true but it did not disappoint. It's in a small form factor for such a feature-rich camera. The screen is HUGE which is a joy to see settings and frames. The degree of "optical" zoom this camera can achieve is ridiculous for its size. The controls are…

I have had a Canon camera for many years and love its simplicity. A frustrating issue with my old cannon was the inability to take close-up shots without losing sharpness. I read all of Revain's reviews about this new camera and I decided to buy this new camera. Again, it was easy to use. Just got back from a week in Key West and wanted to get some close up shots of the beautiful flowers as well as some interesting things in the water. The photos were wonderful and clear and I'm so glad I…

I recently took this camera with a PowerShot Elph 110 on a Caribbean cruise. Since I have a waterproof case for the 110, I used it whenever I was shooting in wet areas and underwater. I have used the SX500 in dry areas. In some cases I was able to take the same pictures with both cameras and the difference was really amazing. First let me say that I am NOT a photographer. I'm just someone who likes to take lots of pictures. I like it when they come out well, but I know next to nothing about…

This camera is definitely worth the money. But if you are interested in photography, don't even waste your time with this product. First off, if you're such a purist, you shouldn't even be looking in this price range. Step up to the Rebel 70D and don't try to impress the crowd by saying your above-average expectations aren't met by a camera that costs less than a Rebel 70D lens. In this case, you can get satisfactory images when you are a tourist, attend a party, or relax with your family. It's

I got the SX500 IS as an upgrade from my 8 year old Lumix as I didn't want to upgrade to a full DSLR but maybe somewhere in between. Portable, inexpensive, but with high optical zoom and good image stability. Sure, there are other models with better specs that capture higher quality images, including Canon's own SX50, but I couldn't find one for less than $200. Checking reviews on various websites also led me to the conclusion that the SX500 IS is at least comparable and generally better than…
