Super Zoom, Super Compact.
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 24mm Wide-Angle Lens (35mm equivalent: 24-720mm) 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 new 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 new 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!
