    Thank you SO much for this video (and the canon powershot sx50 hs one). I've been researching cameras and this told me more than enough about a camera I've been on the fence about. Even though I love the sx50 hs, you showed pretty much everything I need in this one and saved me about a hundred bucks lol. I've definitely subscribed and will continue to come to your channel first for reference. Excellent review, thank you again

    may i know what do you mean by 'happy snaps' of the concert? because during concerts they'll be moving around is it fast enough to capture the moments.
    i'm not looking for a very good photo quality (nothing beats SLR) but i want one that can capture decent photos of the moments.
    currently i'm using Nikon CoolPix P510 and I'm disappointed with my photos outcomes =(

    I own this camera. I use it for documenting my lab work. This is without the zoom. However, I am curious, does 30x optical zoom mean 30 times 24mm or 720mm equivalent? I have an Canon 2000D with vintage lenses and cannot imagine what a 720mm zoom lens would cost. Do I understand this correctly?

    I don't which camera to recommend for good HD video at this price range. You can look at the SX50hs which has got better quality video. It does have a higher price than the SX500is. It's always best to move as slowly as possible when shooting video because of the rolling shutter, even on your higher priced cameras.
