Review: Decent updated Canon camera here - I recently purchased this Canon SX-520 HS digital camera to replace an older Nikon digital camera. I had an 2 older Canon SX-510 HS digital cameras last year & got a lot of good photos with those 2 digital cameras before they crapped out. Since this is a modestly upgraded/updated digital camera over the SX-510 HS & uses the same batteries, I figured that I would give this camera a try since the older & problematic Nikon digital camera I replaced & sold with this camera had the same size 42X optical zoom lens. Good points so far is: pretty easy to use, takes pretty good outdoor photos, menu is fairly simply to navigate, takes the same batteries the prior SX-510 HS took and has a nice 42X optical zoom lens....up from 30X with the older Canon SX-510 HS camera. Megapixels also increased a bit with this newer Canon camera also. Bad areas so far: flash slow to reload after taking each photo at night or low-light situations, questionable photo quality indoors or in low-light situations. This camera uses the easy to find SD cards for photo storage and overall, this Canon camera is a decent upgrade from the prior model from Canon. It's also slightly larger and the video control on the backside was moved slightly closer to the side....reducing the chances of me making a video my mistake [a big problem I had with the SX-510 HS Canon camera]. There is no optical viewfinder on this camera....only a decent-sized rear fixed LCD screen as a viewfinder.....which is fine for me. I know many like the swiveling/tilting rear LCD monitor for taking self photos or other photos...but for my purposes, the fixed into the camera rear LCD viewfinder works just fine. If I want self photos of me, I have a larger Canon digital camera that has the rear LCD screen that flips and swivels out. This digital camera does have a variety of manual settings possible as well. This camera is my "everyday" camera for scenic outdoor and other photos. I gave this camera 5 of 5 stars already because in the few days I have played around with this digital camera, it seems to work flawlessly and quick. Video quality is pretty decent for this camera also. It won't take DSLR quality photos, but if you need a decent super zoom digital camera without the hassles of changing lens, this camera should do the job fairly well. I may do an update to my review as time rolls one.
Review: Canon quality at a great price - Another great Canon camera and another great desertcart purchase. I saved $200 from the Target store price on this camera! Very straight forward user friendly camera. I also have a Canon Rebel and wanted this camera for everyday use at work. It is easy even for novice photographers. Nice user interface menu. Easy controls. Pick it up, point and shoot, really as simple as that. If you want to get into the manual features this camera affords you that capability as well. Auto focus is quick and sharp, even in low light conditions. Flash is not a pop-up, user has to pop it up, but for the price point a very minor "inconvenience". Date/Time stamp capability along with auto sequential file numbering is convenient. I am a police officer and will be using it to take field interview photographs so this feature is a necessity for this purpose. Nice to have a Canon rechargeable battery so as not to have to mess around with AA batteries being devoured by the camera. A fully charged battery gives you the ability to shoot for an extended period of time without having to worry about your camera taking a power dump. Another feature I like on this camera for my use is the "auto framing" button on the side of the lens housing. This button will activate auto framing of your subject from head to toe. Camera performs well in low light. Another great desertcart purchase.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do you use wide angle in video mode?**
A: There is no difference between video or picture mode as far as zoom is concerned.

**Q: What is the quality of the photos, easy to use without lots of bells & whistles & quality of videos?**
A: The quality of the photos is excellent, 16 mega pixels and it can film video in 1080P high definition with sound picked up by the very sensitive built in microphones on the back end of the extendable flash unit. Set to AUTO mode, which is as close as this camera gets to being point and shoot, both the still and video functions are relatively easy to use although you need to set the focus by partially depressing the shutter switch. This is a very capable camera with lots of bells and whistles available even in AUTO mode which I consider advantageous, you may not. This is not the type of camera that you can pull out of the box and be proficient with unless you already have some familiarity with high quality photo equipment or are willing to invest a little or a lot of time learning how to use it.

**Q: Can the flash be shut off**
A: I use my camera for music events where no flash is allowed. I just keep the cap down. Not sure there is another way, but that works for me.

**Q: Does anyone know if the offer with the 'free accessories':  case, card, etc, ALSO has the batteries, charger, neck strap, etc?**
A: It comes with a neck strap, rechargeable battery and battery charging port.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice camera
*by R***P on May 27, 2015*

Love the camera. I think this is the nicest one we've bought yet. I took pictures with the optical zoom fully extended and even with my shaky hands the pictures came out perfect. Audio and video were nice as well. Shoots pretty quickly and I've had zero problems so far. I wouldn't say its a super solid camera. Meaning if you're going to be climbing mountains and dropping it a lot you might want to find something more rugged. We took it riding ATVs in Maui over pretty rugged terrain but it was around my neck so no problem (jostled around a lot but not banging against anything hard). In the dash compartment without a case I am not so sure how long it would last. Its seems well built but probably not for people who would be beating it around a lot. For you outdoorsy people, get a GoPro.
