    I love my camera it's like one step down from professional camera and I love it. It's a great starter camera. I taken pictures for many events and its so good. The definition of the camera isn't as great as say a $400 camera but it is as expected. I love it, I didn't spend an arm and a leg on it but it was definitely worth every penny spent.

    If you want a better photo and a better zoom than your smart phone but know nothing more about camera than how to point and press this is a great camera. Not good in low light but amazing in daylight. Light weight to carry. Really having fun with it. Great price.

    I have had a sx510. I chose this camera because it is small and handy to take hiking. I upgraded to the SX530 because I wanted to take advantage of the additional zoom. A little larger than I am used to but the photos have been exceptional.

    I've owned many cameras as a hobby. This camera takes very sharp pictures and it was a great price. It has lots of manual features aside from auto mode. One thing I wish this camera had is a swivel view screen. Other than that it's a good buy!

    I purchased this mainly for taking some action shots at the races! The camera is small and compact with a great zoom and plenty of features for a novice photographer like me! Easy access to memory card slot and battery along with nice flow to menus makes it enjoyable to use.

    I bought this to take our first family vacay with my 3yo daughter and I didn't wanna miss a single moment. It didn't disappoint. I loved the Wi-Fi transfer to my phone option and the vivid color options the most. I have a background in photograph that goes back to film slr. I still want to buy a dslr but I feel this is a WONDERFUL option for great pics and easy to use. I was able to hand it to my husband (And teach him what he needed to know in seconds) and get great pics of myself too. This is a very user friendly option for beginners and enthusiasts alike.

    Very nice camera. Zooms great. Although it has 50X zoom, it is way better than competition camera Sony H400 which has 63X zoom. The gentleman at the camera Dept was very knowledgeable and helpful. I recommend this camera.

    I have other cameras,however, what I like about this one is the 50x zoom. What is unique about it is that it has a button on the side of the lens that when you zoom you hold the button down and you photos are really great! Love that feature. Picture added at 50x.

    I picked this up because my old point-and-shoot has been acting up and I wanted something better for a trip to the EAA. Yes, it's bigger and "bulkier" - which for me is great, as tiny, thin cameras disappear in my hands. The physical controls give good feedback and don't feel loose. Some of the features take a bit of looking to find when you're not used to them. I bought this and a 128 Gb card at the same time - I never have to worry about running out of storage - but I should have bought a second, larger battery. The default 1030 mah battery lasted about two hours (of near constant shooting, admittedly) - which didn't work for an all day event. I've since ordered two backup batteries with larger capacity. Photo-wise, it's done quite well, even at capturing moving objects. The problem tends to be the photographer, not the subject, in my case! As a mid-ground camera, between point and shoot and DSLR, it's pretty good - and won't break the bank.

    I've been using and buying Canon camera for over 40 years. I love the fact of the bluetooth ability. And that whether you want to take a picture or video you havs great quality in one camera.

    I LOVE this camera. Some of the pictures I've taken look professional. The only true "con" would be that focusing is off sometimes....but it certainly isn't bad enough for me not to recommend!
