## Description

With the Canon Power Shot SX520 HS digital camera you can capture beautiful scenic panoramas, elusive wildlife, an athlete's intensity, or a child's wonder - all from a distance that won't interrupt the action. The SX520 HS makes this kind of versatility easy with an incredible 42x optical zoom and 24mm wide-angle lens. This camera was born to zoom, with features and systems designed to make high-magnification shooting with advanced Canon optics simple and spectacular. The Optical Image Stabilizer and Intelligent IS keep images clear and steady while Zoom Framing Assist and a new Advanced Zoom Framing Assist function help you track and capture subjects, follow their movement and keep them in focus - whether you're shooting stills or super-lifelike 1080p full HD video. And High Speed AF means reduced lag time. Use this sophisticated point-and-shoot wherever you go to capture memories with the quality and versatility they deserve.

Review: Muy buena cámera - Es la primera vez que he tenido una cámera de tanta alta tecnología. Pensé que iba a ser difícil entender, pero no tanto. La parte que me interesa más que nada es el zoom porqué tengo otra cámera mucho más fácil usar y entender y tambíen con 16 MP pero sin mucho zoom. El zoom de la PowerShot SX520 es increíble y, más que eso, estable. Me gusta la cámera mucho. Recibí la cámera hace dos días y no he hecho nada con video. No me interesa mucho la video.
Review: Super Zoom - We were looking for a light, easy camera with a good zoom for our holiday coming up. This camera exceeded our expectations. We are still practicing holding it still enough when using the zoom but the results have been spectacular.An experienced photographer asked us what camera we used after viewing one of our "zoomed" pictures on Facebook! It is very light and has a secure feel when using it. This is a great camera for someone needing a simple to use, but good results camera at a great price.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent updated Canon camera here
*by R***8 on 14 January 2015*

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.
