Read on to discover if the SX530 HS is worth laying out the extra cash for, or whether a less expensive model might suit you just as well.Ĭanon PowerShot SX530 HS design and controls Here I’ve tested and compared it alongside Canon’s budget compact bridge super-zoom, the PowerShot SX410 IS and Nikon’s Budget COOLPIX L840. Essentially then, the SX530 HS adds a longer zoom range and addresses one of the earlier model’s biggest drawbacks, the lack of Wifi. As before, there are special Framing Assist features to help keep your subject framed when zoomed in. The mode dial is unchanged with the same PASM modes in addition to Auto, the novice-friendly Live View Control and among other things scene modes and Creative effects. The SX530 HS shares the same 16 Megapixel CMOS sensor as its predecessor and also retains the 3 inch 461k dot LCD screen. In the new model the Wifi is augmented with NFC for straightforward initiation of a wifi link by tapping the camera with a suitably equipped smartphone. Go back two generations and the SX510 HS was Wifi equipped, but it was inexplicably dropped from the SX520 HS, so its return is very welcome and hopefully it’s back to stay. As is often the case when new Canon compacts are introduced, the older model remains in the line up for now.Īs well as increasing the zoom range from the 42x of the SX520 HS, the new model re-introduces Wifi.
