I have been wanting a new camera for a few years now (my other camera is at least 8-10 yrs old). This camera is definitely a good buy. Easy to use, takes great pictures, download and battery recharging is simple.

not an automatic flash

did take great pictures in a subdued light

Easy To Use; Fast/accurate auto-focus; Good Image Quality; Good Image Stabilization; Good in Low Light; Great Zoom; Large Clear LCD; Nice Body Color; Small / Compact

Lag / Shutter Delay; Short Battery Life

I love this camera which takes very clear pictures - great for special occasions but a bit big for carrying with you every day. It is light, compared to other cameras I've tried with the same features, and comfortable to hold.

I bought this camera as a present to my hubby. We've had it for weeks, and we do a lot of outdoor and kids photos. He has taken some really great shots a. Overall I would say that it is a really fun camera and it has a really great zoom. Can take acceptable pictures at really far distances.

Very compact; light and easy to use - and with a remarkable 30x optical zoom; especially at this price

I can't find any fault with how it performs

This is such a wonderful camera with functions I haven't even played with yet! It is so User friendly, I started taking pictures with it without reading the manual. Just pointed and took the pictures and they came out wonderful!

We ordered this as a gift for one of our employees. It was sealed and when I read the contents of the box it did not mention tripod or memory card - I thought I had received the wrong product so it was returned.

I bought a canon camera as I had seen a friends fabulous photo's and wanted to have the same. Previously I had not spent much on a camera and was always disappointed. If I was going to spend more money I wanted something that was reliable and easy to use.

"its superb camera. nice camera in 16k . no need to go for a dslr and slr which cost 25k and 30k. picture and video quality after long zoom also is awesome. 60x ( 30x optical and 2x digital )zoom. when one buying camera you must see the optical zoom becoz it is only the actual zoom.

My Canon PowerShot SX500 IS review finds that this ultra zoom camera is an adequate model with some nice features, but that also has quite a few performance drawbacks.

This is a great light weight camera with amazing zoom capabilities. With a high ratio of mega pixels and its superzoom function, this camera is a must for the young family. It's very user friendly and the picture quality is fantastic.
