Canon ELPH 520 HS (IXUS 500 HS) prices and specs
The ELPH 520 HS (IXUS 500 HS) was produced on Jan 9, 2012 and is available in USA for 199.99
The ELPH 520 HS (IXUS 500 HS) belongs to the category of point and shoot cameras. Its main benefit is a small size: the photographer can even put it in the pocket. The camera has various automatic modes but you won't shoot pictures of the same perfect quality in comparison to DSLR cameras.
The ELPH 520 HS (IXUS 500 HS) can take images at 10 megapixels highest resolution. But for better image quality the more important specification is a sensor size. This model has a 1/2.3' (6.17 x 4.55 mm) sensor which means that the model will take images with not so high quality as cameras with larger sensors but instead it has smaller dimensions and weight. And if you want to produce images of the best quality pay attention to Sony Alpha 7R II.
The camera has max shutter speed of 1/4000 sec. It is an average shutter speed that is rather good for making action images of a satisfactory quality. The camera shoots perfect videos in Full HD resolution.
The lens is built into the ELPH 520 HS (IXUS 500 HS) and the camera owner won't be able to change it. The lens has amazing 12x optical zoom.
The ELPH 520 HS (IXUS 500 HS) battery life will be enough to make up to 190 images.
