2012 Canon PowerShot SX500 IS digital camera, tested and working. This bridge-style Canon combines the simplicity of a point-and-shoot digital camera with a substantial 30x optical zoom lens, DSLR-style grip, image stabilization, and manual shooting controls.
Released in 2012, the PowerShot SX500 IS features a 16-megapixel CCD sensor paired with a Canon 4.3–129mm f/3.4–5.8 30x optical zoom lens, providing an approximately 24–720mm equivalent focal range. The wide zoom range makes it useful for everything from everyday snapshots and travel photography to portraits, events, wildlife, and distant subjects without needing interchangeable lenses.
Canon's built-in Optical Image Stabilizer (IS) helps reduce camera shake when shooting handheld, particularly at longer focal lengths. Additional features include a large 3" rear LCD screen, built-in pop-up flash, HD video recording, automatic scene modes, macro capability, and P/A/S/M-style manual exposure controls.
TESTING & CONDITION:
Tested and working. Camera powers on properly, lens extends and retracts, optical zoom functions throughout its range, shutter fires, flash works, controls respond, LCD functions, and the camera reads/writes to the included memory card.
Pre-owned with normal cosmetic wear from use and age. Please review all photos closely for the exact cosmetic condition.
INCLUDED:

CHARGER NOTE:
A replacement battery charger has been ordered and is currently on the way. It is expected to arrive September 19 and will be included with the camera.
With the battery, charger, and memory card included, this is a convenient ready-to-shoot setup once charged. The SX500 IS is particularly appealing for anyone looking for a 2010s CCD digital camera with significantly more optical reach than a typical compact point-and-shoot.
