Rank 12 out of 14Stiftung WarentestKameras: Zoomen oder laufen?ReleaseSeptember 2015

Große Kompaktkamera mit Superzoom, manuellen Funktionen und Netzwerkfunktion. Positiv: grundlegende Handgriffe funktionieren einfach. Kamera insgesamt befriedigend, mit Tendenz zum Gut.

Rank 27 out of 29CHIP OnlinePreis-Leistungs-Sieger Bridge-KameraReleaseApril 2015

Die Powershot SX530 HS ist eine Bridgekamera zum Preis von mehr als 300 Euro, die dafür gebotene Leistung passt nicht so ganz zum Preis. Dennoch findet man hier eine solide Wahl hinsichtlich Bildqualität und Tempo, zumal man sich auch mit der durchschnittlichen Ausstattung arrangieren kann.
