About this deal

What the SX500 is good for is outdoor shots in good lighting for small prints (8x10 or smaller) or viewing onscreen at 50 percent or smaller.

Reproduction in whole or part in any form or medium without specific written permission is prohibited. That's probably not a big deal for many people, but if you're used to a camera that does everything for you, this might result in some missed shots. Announced in August 2012, Canon claims it's the World's smallest 30x optical zoom camera, with a range that extends from 24-720mm with Intelligent image stabilisation to iron-out the wobbles.

Mostly in high contrast areas and at the edges of the frame where the lens quality isn't as good, but we did see it at the centre from time to time and in brickwork. The camera does have two continuous shooting modes, one with autofocus and one without, where it sets exposure and focus with the first shot. The wheel is responsive with tactile stops to it, so you will not easily overshoot what you're trying to select.

For those who are addicted to the photo filters from a favorite smartphone app, Canon includes several of its high-quality Creative Filters: Fish-eye Effect, Miniature Effect, Toy Camera Effect, Monochrome, Super Vivid, and Poster Effect. Editorial independence means being able to give an unbiased verdict about a product or company, with the avoidance of conflicts of interest. The question is, has anything been compromised in cramming such a large feature-set in to a small body? Set button and has top, bottom, left, and right pressure points for ISO sensitivity, focus (manual, normal, and macro), flash, and timer. Using the batteries and memory card format supplied with the camera (where included), except where indicated.The first thing that strikes you about it is the size; it’s a very small camera, and yet within its diminutive body Canon has somehow managed to engineer a 30x optical zoom. Managing Editor Josh Goldman is a laptop expert and has been writing about and reviewing them since built-in Wi-Fi was an optional feature. By the end setting of ISO 1600, edge definition has broken - although there's still a degree of image quality, noise affects all areas of the picture with streaks of green in the darker areas. In addition to capturing images in the native 4:3 aspect, the SX500 can also be set to shoot in 3:2, 16:9 and 1:1 although as this requires the camera to effectively take a crop from the sensor maximum resolution does take a knock as these settings.
