The Canon Powershot SX500 IS

Do you ever find yourself at the back of the room when there’s something good happening & miss out on “the moment”?  Or on “the hill” in Croke Park when Michael Murphy lifts Sam Maguire in the Hogan stand & your average compact just does’nt go that extra mile to capture that perfect picture???
Well here’s your answer…..

The Canon PowerShot SX500 IS is a pocket-sized super-zoom camera with a 30x optical range. Announced in August 2012, Canon claims it’s the World’s smallest 30x optical zoom camera, with a range that extends from 24-720mm with intelligent image stabilisation to even out the shakes & blurs. To me, it appears to be the baby of the Powershot SX40 which boasts a 35 optical zoom, though to be honest I’d still be happy out with the more compact SX500 for its smaller size & weight.
A 16 Megapixel camera paired up with a 3in fixed LCD screen with 461k pixel resolution and a pop-up flash, along with  full PASM exposure modes in addition to Smart Auto, a range of scene modes and Creative filters which can be used for both stills and movies. The PowerShot SX500 IS can also shoot HD movie footage at resolutions up to 1280 x 720 at 25 frames per second encoding files using either the H.264 codec or the more edit-friendly Apple iFrame format.
With a collection of finely captured images from this new powershot you’ll find yourself wanting to do a lot more with them than just transferring them to your PC. The crisp, colourful images you achieve will look great enlarged to any size, photo, poster,or canvas. Photobooks of special events such as the All-Ireland, your child’s christening, your dad’s retirement or friends wedding will be a fantastic keepsake/gift with the highest quality of photos included to last for years to come!
