Great entry level semi-pro cam, best you can get for a budget/learning camera.

Best semi-pro camera you can get for its price range, definably a good entry level for semi-pro enthusiasts like my self looking to learn the magic of photography. Take a note and buy some filters with it too, and a nice strong Tripod, amazon offers a nice one from its basics line: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005KP473Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have been getting some great shots with it

I have been getting some great shots with it. Some out of my boat in high winds with boat rocking. The zoom is great. Here is one shot, I used the zoom in a very rocky boat at about 150 yards.

Just Super

Takes great pictures/video and the zoom lens is absolutely super. In fact, I gave my Nikon DSLR to my grandson as this does everything I need and the picture quality is just as good. Further, this KIT includes all the basic stuff you would need to get going with a new camera. I particularly like the case that comes with it, very sturdy ballistic nylon fabric that holds what you need and is nicely padded with a strong removable strap. It zippers and snaps closed. Very, very pleased so far

Great Camera, but not for taking pics of small birds & tiny things that need serious zoom

I LOVE THIS CAMERA. it's excellent for a beginer b/c you just turn the knob and does all the work for you. it also has a good zoom, but not one you can take off and replace with a better one when you b/come a better photographer. i can live with that, except that i want to take pictures of hummingbirds, dragonflies, tiny blooms on native plants and other small birds but if you zoom to much it b/comes blurry. still, i HIGHLY recommend this camera for its beautiful colors and excellent quality.

Love it!

Great pictures and the app on my i-phone works great with the camera. I can take picture using my phone and easily upload pics to app and can email or text them right away. Highly recommend this camera

Arrived just in time for the LUNAR ECLIPSE!

I absolutely love this camera. The camera I had before was the previous model, the SX500IS and I loved that one as well. I'm a professional photographer and filmmaker and felt lost without my camera. Was thrilled when it arrived the day of the Lunar Eclipse and I was able to capture this shot from my home. Easy to use, easy to handle, great results.

Love this camera

Love this camera, great price. Love the zoom on this. The picture was taken from Garret Mountain in Paterson, 15 miles from New York City but I still got a great zoom on it.

Great Beginner’s Camera for Youtube

I purchased this camera to make Youtube Videos. For the most part, it was very easy to use. I didn’t need to look at an instruction manual to figure out all the settings. The pictures may look a bit blurred the moment you take a photo, but after you view your Photo Gallery, it looks really good. For recording videos, I recommend this for beginner Youtubers. It captures a lot, it comes out pretty good, and you can add-on features to it like a microphone. I do recommend the microphone as it’s better for sound quality.

After reading other reviews..I was surprised to...

After reading the reviews I was skeptical about the zoom/focus. After using the camera on a family outing...sure enough when I zoomed in on a subject..it was difficult to maintain a steady hand...and it appeared that my "close ups" were not going to be so good. To my surprise, when I went to transfer the pictures to a folder..ALL the close ups were in focus and crystal clear. (Just make sure the shutter speed is set faster) Every thing was delivered on time...seems to be a great "Beginners" camera for those who wish to be a little better than the average "Family Photographer".

Best starter camera I have found

Best starter camera I have found. This is a light weight camera easy to use. Extra battery and carrying case made this fir a great purchase. Love that there are different straps and ways to carry when and about. Pictures are crystal clear, excellent zooming capabilities for a starter camera, would deffenitly purchase again, willbeven advise others this product!
