Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Canon-Power Shot SX530 16.0-Megapixel HS Digital Camera is very easy to operate and certainly a lot of really good fun. I have taken my camera everywhere with me since it was given to me as a high school graduation present. The pictures I have taken are very clear and precise. The color is outstanding. I find that this camera is able to offer a variety of ways to take shots. I just love to use this camera.

My daughter loves it. It was easy to open up and figure out how to use it. Probably not for someone who expects lots of bells and whistles. It was a perfect starter camera for my teenager that I can see her using for years

Got this for my 13 year old daughter who started showing an interest in photography. It's a bit much for what she needs as she still reaches for her phone before this thing. Also, I felt it was a little pricy compared to the model below it for the perks, but maybe that's just me.

Light and easy to use. Seems great so far but only after very limited testing. I was a bit surprised/disappointed it did not come with a camera bag but I guess that's why the price was right when comparing with other sellers during Black Friday shopping. :-)

This camera feels great in your hands. I don't care for the ultra slim models, this is exactly what I was looking for. It takes great pics, my only complaint is on the LCD viewing screen the images always look out of focus but they are not.

Very easy to use. Loads of features whether a beginner or an experienced photographer. Takes great pictures. Third Canon I've had & have never been disappointed.

Nice budget camera love the wifi just to give a heads up don't waste your time trying to pair this device with windows 10 by using the manual windows has made multiple changes and the manual is out of date JUST CALL THEM save yourself a lot of grief !

I've owned Cannon cameras in the past. My one camera is 46 years old now and it still works. Just don't have time to load old film into a camera or have it developed to see "if" the pictures came out. This replaces my Nikon that has been a lemon from day one. Spent more time in the shop then any camera I've ever owned. Planning on a big trip soon and my Nikon wouldn't even turn on. So, back to my trusty Cannon. It's been really easy to use so far..

I bought this camera for a 15 year old aspiring photographer. She was looking for something with detachable lenses but I didn't want to purchase in that price range to start out with. When she opened this camera on Christmas, she was thrilled. She was impressed with the zoom lens, the ease of use, the beautiful pictures she took, and the storage (we purchased a 64 GB card to go with it). She didn't care that the lens wasn't detachable. She thinks it's a great little camera and she's very happy!

I bought this camera for my wife, but I think I want it more. So Merry Christmas to me. This camera has great zoom capability, so many other fantastic features. Love this product and would differently recommend it.

The camera was really impressive... at first. The zoom was amazing, everything was easy to use. But then after a few days went by the trouble began. The first sign was that the battery was dead the first time we actually took the camera anywhere to use it. Not a good beginning. Then we discovered the reason for the dead battery: the camera won't stay off, but keeps turning itself back on. It beeps when it turns itself on and displays the most recent photo (or says "no image" if it has been cleared). When it does this it is hard to get it turned back on to take photos. Canon tech support suggested a fix. It didn't work, and now the camera is malfunctioning even worse- none of the control buttons work consistently. The camera was a gift, and now I feel horrible for giving someone a gift that doesn't work. I wish Canon or Best Buy would seem enthusiastic to fix my problem, but Canon's only offer was to mail it back to them at my expense, and I called both the national Best Buy number (and couldn't make heads or tails out of the menu options) and the nearest store (90 miles away) and languished on hold forever before giving up. Some relatives are going to be near the closest store in a couple of weeks, and they have agreed to try to exchange the camera. I'm hoping that goes more smoothly than the experience so far.

I purchased this on Black Friday of 2015, and it was only $99 + it came with a camera bag and 8GB SD card. Great camera for travelling and capturing moments of any kind (band concerts, award ceremonies, banquets). It has a really good quality zoom. After a year, it's still doing it's best! The battery seems toast for quite some time, though I can't give a number, I'll just say that it always seems like it has plenty of power left. Also, the rechargeable battery is very convenient. Very satisfied with my purchase.

Easy to use, amazing zoom capabilities, lightweight to carry around. Would definitely recommend this camera to a friend

When I first used this camera it was very easy to do. It takes excellent pictures, zooms in and out so easily so you can get shots of things that are either far away or close. I really enjoyed using this camera on my vacation because it was so easy to carry, and take photos. It was easy to take the review picture off so you could take several pictures at a time. It was also very easy to change it to recording a series of events while in motion. I really think this is an excellent camera and I happy I purchased it.

Bought this for my wife, the zoom is great! This is a must buy, if you're looking for an entree level camera!

Granddaughter loves this birthday camera. She has taken all kinds of pictures and even got some really cool pics of the recent blood moon.

Zoom is really good, but u will need a tripod. Camera feels a little brittle and cheap. But pictures are great. Can only connect to one device to transfer pictures. You will have to delete the device to add another one to transfer. Good price

We bought this camera to replace a much older Sony digital camera. This one is easy to use, has a very good zoom feature and produces great images -- clear and well defined. Good in low light settings. The automatic feature makes it easy for a beginner or non-skilled person to take good photos. My only criticisms are that some of the controls are too close together causing me to sometimes switch settings or features without intending to do so, and the user manual could be clearer and more explanatory.

We bought it for a vacation trip. Looking for better pictures than a cell phone. It did it’s job. Easy to use, not bulky. Wished it had more options with the viewfinder. Also would have liked a custom case to come with it and a sd card.

It is easy to use and has everything needed to make your shots perfect! Looks great, it is easy to carry and light weight.
