The 30x Canon PowerShot SX510 HS ($249.99 direct) is the company's midrange long zoom camera , offering a bit more reach than the smaller 20x Canon PowerShot SX280 HS and packed into a smaller package than the 50x PowerShot SX50 HS.

Compact; Sharp 30x zoom lens; Good control layout; Integrated Wi-Fi; Minimal shutter lag; Full manual mode available.

Burst rate could be faster; Images on the noisy side.

The Canon PowerShot SX510 HS is a 12 Megapixel super zoom camera with 30x stabilised optical range and a 3 inch LCD screen. Launched in August 2013 it replaces the one year old PowerShot SX500 IS which is retained in the PowerShot lineup.

30x stabilised optical zoom; Excellent optical image stabilisation; Built-in Wifi and GPS linking; 1080p24 HD video

Colour fringing at zoom extremes; Improved; but average continuous shooting; Indirect Wifi sharing to Twitter

The super-zoom range of point and shoot cameras have been quite stagnant in terms of sale. Now, consumers have started shifting towards DSLRs and mirror-less cameras which is quite obvious as the sensor in almost all the super-zoom ‘point and shoot' cameras is comparatively smaller.

Compact design; Long range of focal length; Easy sharing via Wi-Fi

Average low light performance; Not the fastest focusing system

A change in sensor brings the 30x zoom Canon PowerShot SX510 HS' photo and movie quality as well as its shooting performance up a notch.

The Canon PowerShot SX510 HS is a very good value thanks to a new sensor; offering up excellent image quality and performance for its budget-friendly price.

Despite the updated sensor; the SX510 HS' shooting performance might still be too slow for action shots; especially indoors.

Last year's Canon PowerShot SX500 IS was hailed as the smallest 30x optical zoom camera on the market, and it was certainly impossible to deny that it packed a whopping lens and the pixels to support it.

I wonder when i open the box of this camera, i didn't found any English Language User Manual or even when I ON the Camera the function also coming in Chinese Language. Puffff !!!!! I really desperate with this Camera and its Quality.

Nothing is Good in this Camera

Completely Chinese Product

I wanted a camera with WIFI and this is it. Despite the negative reviews I read before my purchase, The WIFI was very easy to set up. I had the software loaded, installed and working within 15 minutes with no problems.

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

None

I have always purchased and recommended Canon cameras however I now feel they have gone beyond cheap and their customer service just isn't what it used to be. When I compare my good old PowerShot A80 to my newly purchased SX510 - Wow. The new body is much more fragile.

good battery life; excellent image quality; Bright LCD

Poor Low-Light Performance; Flimsy Construction; no usb cable or user manual; difficult wifi connectivity

Nice camera for the price. I do have an occasional problem with getting the camera to focus; not sure what I'm doing wrong to have it do this as it seems to be a random occurrence for me. I do notice that sometimes pictures seem "washed-out" in stronger sunlight..

Lots of features for the price: WiFi, exceptional zoom, point shoot simplicity and a respected brand in cameras ~ Cannon

Price Beats Sam's Club
