Product information

Compatability The PowerShot SX500 IS gives you all the power of super zoom in a camera that's sized to go everywhere! The extremely powerful 30x optical zoom with 24 mm wide-angle lens gives you true shooting versatility, while the Optical Image Stabilizer ensures crisp, brilliant images at any zoom length. Image quality is spectacular thanks to the 16.0-megapixel sensor and Canon DIGIC 4 image processor, and you can capture stunningly realistic 720p HD video in stereo sound with a simple press of the movie button. An enhanced zoom framing assist button helps you track and capture subjects for sharp super telephoto photography, and high speed AF dramatically reduces lag time so you'll never miss a shot. Just hold the PowerShot SX500 IS in your hand to experience what makes the design so special. The camera's slim, compact body is proportioned in perfect relation to the giant zoom, while rounded corners with angled grips are a natural fit for the palm of your hand. Zoom right onto the field to capture sports action, achieve those wide-angle travel shots, preserve memories of special events as beautiful HD video - it's all possible with the PowerShot SX500 IS!
