    I purchased this camera two days before leaving for vacation in Ireland. It was very simple to use and it was easy to navigate the instructions for taking the type of pictures I was looking for. I took almost 1000 pictures and every one of them came out beautiful.

    Size and weight fit for anyone. Combination of lens, image resolution and processor make great pictures easy to get. Does not come with memory chip. In fact, since it has Wi-Fi, an embedded memory of (at least) 32 GB would be nice.

    I bought the camera for a fishing trip to Alaska. Easy to carry everywhere. Took great scenic, action and wildlife photos all day. Dropped photos to my IPad for sharing each evening.

    Bought this camera since I was going on a family vacation and needed something to capture our family moments. It was very easy to use and the picture quality is great. It had a good zoom while still providing a high definition pic. I also loved the wifi function which allowed me to transfer pictures to my smart phone. That setup by the way was easy. Would recommend to others specially since it was under $300.

    Purchased this camera for work use. The zoom is great. Clear photos even zoomed out. Very easy to use. All photos have very good color and enlarge well with no problems. I own several cameras and they are all used for construction work. Canon has held up better and has proven easy to use for my employees. The SX 530 performs the best of all our cameras for our use.

    I read a lot of reviews before making my purchase. I just wanted a good point and shoot camera that also could do video and action shots. I do not know a lot about cameras, so when the reviews said this was a good camera for beginners...I took a chance. I just need basic things...point, focus and take picture. I was a bit disappointed that this camera did not have a specific setting for action shots. (My previous Kodak did and it is about 8 yrs old.) The action shots did come out ok though. My only negative thing about this is the battery dies very quick, My Kodak used 4-AA batteries and I could go all day taking pictures and video. I did not take any video with this camera and the battery died after a few hours.

    Great Camera for the price I bought it at during the pandemic! I got it at a steal of a price, and it has some great features for an entry level camera. I especially love the ability to pair it with my phone so that I can be part of the photos at family gatherings.

    My only complaint at this point is I bought online with instore pick up and received an open box camera. I hope all is well as this is a gift for my daughter for Christmas since she lives my canon rebel.

    I was on vacation when my old camera broke. I googled, Best Buy near you. Without any previous camera expertise, the sales staff was very helpful. I chose the cannon, because it felt light and comfortable. With a quick camera lesson, I was able to navigate the menus.. I was happy with the picture quality. I also purchase a camera case and micro card. Thus by buying the package. I saved some bucks. Very satisfied.

    Bought this as a Christmas present for my dad and he loves it because of the zoom capability and quality of the pictures it takes. However, the camera doesn't shine in low light environments for taking pictures.

    I really wanted a full blown DLSR camera but just didn't have the cash to spend. I was afraid my wife would never use it claiming it was too complicated. I thought the other point and shoot cameras were WAY TOO SMALL for my hands. I wanted a Cannon based on its reputation. This camera gave me some good features and allows for some customization but is easy to hold and use. I love the WIFI part. It is a bit cumbersome at first but well worth it in the long run. I recommend it.
