From our point of view, we need to show that in a test shot but we couldn't get enough light onto the subject (a memory card) because the lens kept blocking our studio light.
The optical focal length is 30x on the Canon PowerShot SX500 IS but on top of the 30x, you can boost the zoom to 60x using ZoomPlus. It means that if you have a Canon printer, you don't necessarily need a Canon camera to direct print. Noise and artifacts are visible even at ISO 100 when pixel peeping, so if the quality at full size is something that matters to you, this camera will probably disappoint. However, in testing we did find that the camera performs quite well –even at ISO 1600 images still remain useable for non-critical purposes, although there is a loss of fine detail thanks to the effects of the in-camera noise reduction.Going above that you'll start to see more color noise, artifacts, and loss of detail, which just results in subjects that appear soft and desaturated.
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. On the top of the camera you’ll find the main exposure mode dial that offers access to all of the camera’s various shooting modes. 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. Ultimately then, while the SX500 is an excellent camera on the whole it’s unlikely to be to everyone’s taste.It's fair to say that there's nothing wrong with this and more people are starting to understand this. All data is based on Canon standard testing methods (according to CIPA Standards) except where indicated. The PowerShot SX500 IS provides an unbeatable combination of massive zoom range in a compact lightweight body that, for now at least, is unmatched by anyone else.
Yes, our expectations are high but they are one of the biggest manufacturers in the world and have a reputation to uphold, not to mention stiff competition to beat. Those looking for something pocketable or - at the opposite end of the spectrum - those wanting something big and chunky won't like it. On the whole, though, I wouldn't recommend it for regularly capturing fast-moving subjects, especially indoors. We found noise at low ISO settings where there really shouldn't be any and chromatic aberrations that we didn't expect from a Canon.Although it's rated for 190 shots, keep in mind that using the zoom lens a lot, raising the screen brightness, continuously shooting, or recording movies, among other things, will eat into that battery life.
Great Deal
