Canon PowerShot SX530 HS 16.0 MP 50x Optical Zoom Digital Camera (Black) + Two-Pack NB-6L Spare Batteries + Accessory Bundle

The quality of the images is outstanding. Camera is lightweight and easy to use. By far the best camera I've ever had. Have taken some excellent zoom shots of the moon and of birds. The 50x optical zoom was a selling point for me. Found out it is capable up to 200x digital zoom which was used on one of the photos of the moon. A tripod was used for the moon images. The zoomed images of the birds show no blurred motion even though I'm very unsteady with my hands. The camera deserves a 5.0, but some features and accessories drop the rating. Would prefer 4.5. With my setup I have no way of transferring images from the camera to my computers with wifi. Had to keep taking the memory card out and inserting it in the computer. Eventually, I bought a USB cable which does the trick. That ought to be part of the package. The two extra batteries curb the anxiety of the battery going out and not having a spare as I went through the first battery very quickly trying to learn how to use the camera. The HDMI cable supplied doesn't fit the camera, but I don't need this feature. There was not a mini-tripod, but didn't need it. Received two of the lcd/lens cleaning pens instead. Maybe they knew I'd need two of these instead of the tripod. Wish I'd bought this camera or one like it long ago.

2 stars for the camera, only because of Canon manufacturing quality. Function does not live up to the expectations stated in advertising... Image quality lessens considerably as zoom extends out... Typical of point-and-shoot cameras I know, but not to this extreme. Continuous shooting is disappointingly slow. If your intent photograph small, moving wildlife (birds in particular) the 530 is not the point-and-shoot to buy. 1 star for Beach Camera... Did not respond after I returned the entire package within Amazon's 30-day and their own 45-day return period. AMEX battling out credit for me, still unsettled since June.My Advice? Buyer beware... Buy your camera from a reputable camera supplier that deals with professionals with an unconditional return policy.

This is a very good quality point and shoot camera. My husband uses it for his home inspection business. The right-handed grip is perfect for him being able to point and shoot using just one hand. Great quality pictures. The extra battery and charger come in very handy.

I bought this camera as a gift for my boyfriend, he wanted to get into photography and videography, I figured this was a good starter camera to get him used to angles/ lighting before we invest in a better one. It does the job, picture quality was standard videos were not the best but overall good starter....all the accesssories were a plus too found a few cool goodies

Great pictures both far away and close up. The camera was for my wife and she hasn't had opportunity to explore all the settings but likes the camera a lot with what she has seen so far.

This is an excellent package with a very good camera that is easy to use and provides excellent pictures. What I really like are the extra batteries that will provide extra shooting time. Additionally, the extra supplies provided come in handy.

Zoom isnt so great looks blury. Is there a setting that will focus and get a great quality?

For the recent past I have been relying on my phone camera for taking pictures. My small pocket Canon's photo quality left some things to be desired. This camera has provided greatly increased quality of my photos. The accessories also come in handy.
