  • Better models available
  • While the performance of the Canon PowerShot SX530 HS has certainly seen better days since its debut, it can still prove incredibly useful in the hands of an aspiring photographer, due to it having a long range zoom, additional modes, and settings to fidd...

  • A bit expensive, Video limited to p30, Slow focus when fully zoomed
  • This Canon Powershot HS review has found it to be a strong all-around camera with excellent features. The star of the show is undoubtedly the 50x digital zoom, which ensures great shots from any range. The only drawback is that it can be slow to focus whe...

  • A great but outdated camera.The Canon PowerShot SX530 was a great little camera in its heyday, but in the contemporary market it's not the best option for the price. The Panasonic Lumix FZ80 is a much better option and we know there's plenty of other comp...

  • The Canon PowerShot SX530 HS is by no means a revolutionary camera, but what it does, it does well. A camera like this will generally always represent a compromise. While you have a 50x optical zoom range, the maximum aperture at the wide end is only f/3...

  • 50x optical stabilised zoom, Wifi and NFC, PASM modes, 2nd control dial
  • Slow full resolution continuous shooting, No slow motion movie modes, Poor battery life.
