The Canon PowerShot SX500 IS is a remarkably compact “bridge” camera that packs a massive 30x optical zoom into a body that fits easily in the palm of your hand. Featuring a 16.0MP sensor and a 24mm wide-angle lens, this camera is designed for travelers and families who want the flexibility to capture everything from sweeping landscapes to distant wildlife without carrying bulky equipment. With upgraded autofocus speeds and intelligent stabilization, the SX500 IS ensures your memories are captured in sharp detail and vibrant color.
Massive Zoom & Intelligent Performance
30x Optical Zoom (24720mm equiv.): Go from wide-angle group shots to ultra-telephoto close-ups instantly. The 24mm wide-angle lens is perfect for architecture and landscapes, while the 30x reach brings far-off subjects right in front of you.
Enhanced Zoom Framing Assist: Using a powerful zoom can make it easy to lose your subject. With the touch of a button, the camera zooms out to help you relocate your subject and then snaps back to your original zoom position the moment you release it.
Intelligent Optical Image Stabilization: No more blurry shots. The camera automatically detects the shooting conditions and selects from six different stabilization modes to counteract camera shake, whether you are walking, shooting a macro close-up, or using the full telephoto zoom.
High-Speed Autofocus: Upgraded internal processing ensures the camera locks onto subjects faster than previous models, so you never miss a candid moment or a fast-moving subject.
Simple Content Creation
Smart AUTO (32 Scenes): Take the guesswork out of photography. The camera analyzes the environment and automatically selects the best settings from 32 predefined situations—including portraits, sunsets, and low-light scenes—to ensure accurate exposure.
720p HD Video with Stereo Sound: A dedicated movie button lets you start recording high-definition video instantly. Unlike many compact cameras, the SX500 IS allows you to use the full 30x optical zoom while recording video.
3.0″ LCD Display: Review your photos and navigate menus on a bright, 461,000-dot screen designed for clear viewing and easy shot composition.
Built-in Wind Filter: When recording video outdoors, the electronic wind filter helps suppress distracting background noise, ensuring your audio remains crisp and clear.
