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.

Review: Superb camera for a fraction of the price - I bought this camera for my daughter's trip to East Africa, where I knew she would need a reliable compact camera with a great zoom, but I didn't have the budget for a new one. This was the perfect solution. It took some superb pictures in the game parks, but was quicker lighter and easier to use than bigger full SLR cameras with large lenses. My daughter was delighted with this absolute bargain!
Review: Es la primera vez que he tenido una cámera de tanta alta tecnología. Pensé que iba a ser difícil entender, pero no tanto. La parte que me interesa más que nada es el zoom porqué tengo otra cámera mucho más fácil usar y entender y tambíen con 16 MP pero sin mucho zoom. El zoom de la PowerShot SX520 es increíble y, más que eso, estable. Me gusta la cámera mucho. Recibí la cámera hace dos días y no he hecho nada con video. No me interesa mucho la video.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do you use wide angle in video mode?**
A: There is no difference between video or picture mode as far as zoom is concerned.

**Q: What is the quality of the photos, easy to use without lots of bells & whistles & quality of videos?**
A: The quality of the photos is excellent, 16 mega pixels and it can film video in 1080P high definition with sound picked up by the very sensitive built in microphones on the back end of the extendable flash unit. Set to AUTO mode, which is as close as this camera gets to being point and shoot, both the still and video functions are relatively easy to use although you need to set the focus by partially depressing the shutter switch. This is a very capable camera with lots of bells and whistles available even in AUTO mode which I consider advantageous, you may not. This is not the type of camera that you can pull out of the box and be proficient with unless you already have some familiarity with high quality photo equipment or are willing to invest a little or a lot of time learning how to use it.

**Q: Can the flash be shut off**
A: I use my camera for music events where no flash is allowed. I just keep the cap down. Not sure there is another way, but that works for me.

**Q: Does anyone know if the offer with the 'free accessories':  case, card, etc, ALSO has the batteries, charger, neck strap, etc?**
A: It comes with a neck strap, rechargeable battery and battery charging port.

This is an amazing camera for beginners or non professional photographers. Easy to use, good video and picture quality, and mostly, it has 168x zoom! It is advertised as 42x zoom but on the screen, it shows 168x zoom.
