My brother baught the camera canon sx520 hs.it is very good camera for random use.it has got 42x optical zoom with 4x digital zoom. it is a 16 mp camera.
Battery backup is good enough. only draw back is there is no wifi. you can shoot picture in different mode.there is a lots of settings like auto, manual, av, tv etc.you can manually adjust the shutter speed. the camera can capture very good quality of low light images.dont think more just go for it.
