Review: A trusted friend - This is my first Camera ever, bought in 2nd January 2014, and it still works. Only the display has some issues now a days, but other than that its working absolutely fine. Thank you my first love for staying with me for almost 12 years.
Review: Really love this camera! It's great quality. The pictures are sooooo clear! Much better than my previous camera, definitely an upgrade. And good price too! A couple things to keep in mind: you ARE going to want a second battery if you're taking pictures often. I hate running out of battery and then having to wait for it to charge. And the self timer isn't quite the same as other self timers. I've figure out ways around both of those but just things to keep in mind! Overall, I'd definitely recommend this camera!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Batteries - rechargable or AAs?**
A: Rechargeable lithium-ion. You can buy MaximalPower batteries on Amazon for about $7.00 (a fraction of the cost of Canon batteries) and they actually last longer than the originals.

**Q: I can't seem to figure out how to take action shots. I've tried everything and they a always turn out blurry! Any suggestions??**
A: Blurry subjects in action shots (subject motion is recorded) is the result of insufficient shutter speed. Your camera's programming is more concerned with snapshot exposure settings. You will need to override that set of compromises. I know you didn't wanna hear that. But stick with me on this. You CAN do it... Looking down at the selector dial right next to the on/off button, rotate the selector to "Tv". That's gonna give you "Time Value" automation, more correctly named "Shutter Speed Priority". You will select a shutter speed sufficiently short in duration so the kids arms and legs are stopped by the camera. Shutter speeds of about 1/1,000 of a second is sufficiently short to almost completely stop the rotor blades of helicopters. Depending on your subject's relative speed of motion, you may only need speeds like 1/500 or 1/250 of a second (shutter open for twice as long, or four times as long as 1/1,000). Try a few of these settings and check your results, and then decide. Next, point the camera at something lit up as your football game (my guess) will be, but before the action starts. Push the shutter button down HALF WAY. That's the "preview", with exposure info presented. The image on screen will darken somewhat, and the camera's choice of lens opening (aperature) will be displayed along the bottom of the screen. The largest lens opening is "f 3.4" and all the rest of them have larger numbers. With f-stops, bigger opening = smaller numbers, smaller opening = bigger numbers. The actual lens opening used will determine your "depth of field" or the range of distances on either side (closer to and farther away from the camera) of your subject which will be in sharp focus. You will most likely want a little extra range of distances in focus, so you'll need the smaller lens openings (bigger numerical values) available. Or, if you'd like to use "selective focus" you may wish to use a larger opening (smaller numbers). You gotta decide that for yourself, Ma'am. In either case, you control the shutter speed in Tv by rotating the ring around the "Function Set" control the the BACK OF THE CAMERA. And you control the exposure of the shot (and the depth of field) kinda  indirectly by choosing different ISO values. That's what used to be called your film speed. Once you get it in Tv, turned on, and have tested the scene's illumination level, and therefore, have seen the camera's choice of aperatures, you respond by selecting your ISO value. Faster film speeds take less light to get a decent exposure, but they also produce "grainy" pictures. Digital cameras can get pretty grainy results, too, I'm afraid. But something's gotta give, here. I mean, if you can't add more light on the scene (like I can in a studio setting) you'll have to make a compromise somewhere in your decision. So... to review. Tv mode, power ON, shutter button down halfway, read the lens opening, make a quick decision about ISO setting based on what you find. Push the ISO (top of the Function Set control) and then rotate the ring around outside of that same control to change the value. The choice at the bottom might be more convenient for you: AUTO. Me? I'd rather have complete control over everything. It just slows me down to first figure out what the computer will likely think of, and then come up with a workable plan to defeat the computer to get the result I want. But you might be more comfy with Tv mode and use the camera's computer to fine-tune the exposure after you've set the ground rules. And, please, write back if I didn't 'splain it right. I'll try to help anyway I can. I LOVE taking good photos..! o(*_*)o

**Q: can I put a uv filter on the lense?**
A: Yep, you can, hope this helps.

**Q: It's selling itself on the zoom -- but how good is the macro function? What is the minimum focal length?**
A: The macro function is nowhere near as good as on my Nikon DSLR but still useable. Focal length at minimum zoom is about two inches.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by D***F on 24 July 2013*

I got the SX500 IS as an upgrade from my 8 year old Lumix, not wanting to go full DSLR, but maybe something in between. Portable, inexpensive, yet with a high optical zoom and good image stability. There are undoubtedly other models with better features that take higher quality pictures, including Canon's own SX50, but none for under $200 that I could find. Checking on reviews at various sites also led me to believe the SX500 IS was at least comparable, and usually better than the other 30x "ultra" zoom cameras. After playing around with it a few days, mostly on the Auto setting, I'm very happy with the optical zoom and the image stability you get at 30x, better than I got with the Lumix at 10x. Macro shots at an inch or less look great, at least in good light. Low light shots get very grainy as the ISO kicks up to 800 very quickly so I'll be playing with the manual settings more there. Tons of those settings that I'll have to really study--as another review pointed out, this isn't a beginner's camera, but then I didn't want one and am willing to dive into the details a bit. Possible cons: movies are "only" at 720, but look plenty good (for 1080, maybe consider the SX50?). The aperture speed was rated low for this camera at just under 1 sec. Haven't taken any high speed shots yet, say a bird in flight, so I can't comment on it yet. The battery life is also supposedly short, but I always get a spare (2 for $15). My maybe biggest gripe is the awkward shape, which is to say the lens is very long, so the camera is very boxy. I don't want to get yet another dedicated camera bag, and it doesn't fit into any of my laptop backpacks or satchels very well. It's not a big camera, it's just not very flat in any 2 dimensions, so just... awkward. All in all, this was a fantastic value, and hopefully a gateway into better photography. I'll update this review after delving more into the finer points of the camera. Update (9/3/2013): I see the price has gone up past $250, and the "super zooms" have gone to 50X. Having done some sports stadium shooting from the back fence to full zoom on the field, I can capture closeups of plays, even fastballs leaving the pitcher's hand from 200-300ft away, so I'm more than happy with 30X, and the stability is very impressive, at least in full daylight (perfect conditions). Still need to test at, say, nighttime concerts, but I still think this is an excellent value, even in the $250 range, and a steal for under $200.
