I bought the camera back in mid 2016, it is a very good camera for beginners and for taking family photos and holiday shots.

Was what I was wanting. Cannon cammea's are he only camera's I will use.

I bought this camera about a month ago. Im only an amateur but this has been such a great camera, excellent photo quality, great shutter speed, easy to use. Highly recommend!

Very good photos, nice body....we are still using it to have a better appreciation

Earlier this year, Canon introduced a new super-zoom member to their PowerShot SX lineup. The SX540 HS features a 20.3-megapixel "High Sensitivity" CMOS image sensor mated to the DIGIC 6 image processor, which makes for strong performance in low light conditions.

Lots of manual controls; Powerful zoom with wide angle (24-1200mm; Effective image stabilization; Auto focus is usually quick; Lens can focus at 0cm in macro; High image quality; Fast burst shooting; Full HD video at 60fps; Dial quickens settings changes; Filters produce attractive shots; Tracking...

No RAW mode; Dial operation could be better; Tracking AF had difficulty in shadows; Low light shots can be a little noisy; No bulb function for long shutter release; No viewfinder; LCD is fixed; does not hinge outward; No external flash shoe

With image stabilization technology and in-built Wi-Fi, this model is already making rounds in the industry. It is one of the most desirable products that also provide faster connectivity with the help of a single trap.

Can capture spectacular 1080 p and full HD pictures; Relatively lower price makes it the best for the money; Image stabilization ensures that your images are sharp; Comes with an optical zoom feature to capture distant pictures; Low light photography is made possible with an image processor

Results in a relatively less blur; Less durability as compared to some other models

Canon has been focused lately on improving its higher-end advanced compacts like the PowerShot G5 X, and you really can't blame it for that since smartphone cameras have put a hurt on its other compacts. And if its CES 2016 announcements are any indication, Canon doesn't have big plans to change course by making its midrange and entry-level point-and-shoots significantly better than the competition.

The camera manufacturer will have five new models in the coming months, but they're simply minor updates to ones currently available.
