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.

Wonderful entry level or upgrade from point-and-click.
By Indigo Heat TOP 1000 REVIEWER on August 31, 2014
Style Name: Base
Quick update: 12/24/14 - The price has dropped to the lowest I've seen since the product launch (200 USD).

Here's the deal. I'm not going to waste [too much] of your time spitting the specs back to you in a review. You have already looked at them. If you are here, it is because you don't want to spend 3000 USD on a high-end professional box and thousands more on lenses; but, you want something better than a basic point-in-shoot. Yes? If so, please continue.

Although there is NOTHING wrong with Nikon, I prefer Canon and have a 5D Mark III at work at a pair of XF 300's for video. They are amazing. No doubt. That said, the cost is overkill for personal/amateur use. Take the plunge in the Canon Family. The feel of this model is similar to the T2i/T3i. It has enough features to learn and grow with and not break the bank or cause you to purchase additional gear.

Cons: No shoe, USB 2.0 - not sure why they didn't go 3.0

That said, if you want to buy various lenses, stop here and search for deals on the T3i. Still here? This is a very nice entry into photography:

24mm wide and 42x Optical Zoom. I recommend never using an optical zoom to the edge of capability. You will have data loss (blur, shallow detail).

1080p HD. This is nice as you can take high quality video. This has become more prevalent over the last 5 years and Canon's CMOS can capture high-impact, detailed video. You will have to look elsewhere for audio capture as you will need external to get clean audio for any [higher end] editing needs.

16.0 MP is robust enough for you to capture high-detail, print-quality pictures worthy of framing

3.0 inch LCD is plenty big to see what you are framing.Read more ›

Good camera for the cost
By J. Harvey on December 5, 2014
Style Name: Base Verified Purchase
I have always been a Canon fan, I was looking for a replacement for my SX170, but frankly I was a little disappointed when I opened the box of the SX520. Granted I did not do any research, just went with past history that of course I would love a Canon.

Cons:
• Physical lens caps rather than the built in automatic cap of the smaller camera. This is my biggest issue, I hate having to take it on and off, that was something I did not miss when I sold my SLR. No built-in cap allow for more dirt to get to the lens if it takes you a minute to put it back on. For this reason alone I am knocking it down a star.
• Size – bulkier than I was expecting – there is no way to put this one in a pocket – it does fit in my purse.
• Feels like it is cheaply made – but it is actually very sturdy – I have thrown it in bags with no case and knocked it around construction sites and there is not a scratch on it

Pros:
• Phenomenal photo quality
• Great optical zoom [Note: just turn off the digital, you will be much happier and can always make those extra zooms on the computer]
• Easily focus even when optical zoom is fully extended and it is low light and no flash conditions.
• Lightweight – I can easily handle it with one hand
• Very intuitive to use
• Fun features like creative shots or continuous shoot
• Long battery life – it is used almost daily with lots of on and off and review and the battery usually lasts at least 2 weeks for me

Other reviews mentioned that there was no manual included, mine was in the box. They also mentioned that it will not do several shots per second – this is incorrect, you just need to look at the manual.

Overall, I am going to keep this camera and know that it will work well when I want real pictures rather than pictures from my phone. A lot of camera for not a lot of price.

Buy this camera!
By Jean-Paul on October 11, 2014
Style Name: Base
This camera is a superb entry level, or semi-pro camera. Before you laugh, here is a fact. As far as pixels go, the human eye's resolution is 1.2 megapixels. Any resolution above that only benefits post production, since that is where a person needs the most clarity. So this camera has plenty of resolution for most uses. The features are astounding for the price. Anyone that takes a bad picture with this camera is either stupid, or they want a bad picture. Then I saw posts about no manual. Well folks, that is a cost-cutting feature, passed onto the consumer. It also reduces the use for a paper manual. Fact is, all cannon products full manuals are available at cannon.com as a pdf download. I would think tree huggers would love this. Just cannot please some folks I guess. Here is a really good point. I picked up a job taking pictures for a major store in a chain for that store's promotions. The manager thinks the picture quality is good enough for his needs.

easy to use and offers functions required by skilled photographers
By MohaMAD on December 27, 2014
Style Name: Base Verified Purchase
Come on - where will you find a 1000mm zoom at this price and this quality of picture without paying twice, or more, the price for a DSLR camera? The SX520 arrived, the battery charged, the instructions read and within hours the camera took life time quality pictures, indoors and outdoors, of family, nieces and pets worthy of a pro by an amateur photographer. The SX520 offers functions to improve photo quality and the pictures are quality through all zoom lengths. The lens cap is an engineering afterthought by Canon. The SX520 is light weight, has a solid feel in hands, easy to use and offers functions required by skilled photographers. A future improvement is adding lens changing ability to the SX520.
