Handy pocket camera

The Canon powershot SX500 designed in such fashion that people who need some something pocketable camera would like it. But those people who want a big and stylish and chunky camera would not get attracted easily towards this. It has a super zooming facility of 30X, 24 mm wide angle zoom.

Although the Canon PowerShot SX500 offers a pretty nice feature list, its performance is below average in enough areas that it's tough to recommend this camera to most photographers who are just seeking a large zoom camera.

Digital camera and kit

This really arrived quickly..It has a lot of accessories and was convenient to have a ready made kit. The camera itself is great! I have another Canon PowerShot that is much heavier and larger. I have had 2 neck surgeries and needed a more light weight model.

Towards the end of last year I was asked to go to South Africa for work (it's a hard life, I know!) and decided to spend some time afterwards visiting some of the national parks out there.
