The Canon PowerShot SX520 HS is a digital compact camera announced by Canon Inc. on July 29, 2014. The point-and-shoot superzoom camera has a 16 megapixel sensor, 42x optical zoom, and full 1080p HD video capabilities. It replaced the SX 510 HS from previous year. The zoom was increased from 30x to 42x but unlike SX510 HS it does not support WiFi transfer for images and videos.

This camera is equipped with optical Image Stabilization technology, which reduces camera shake during videos and photo shooting and has a very good stabilizer. This camera records video in up to 1080p Full HD, with stereo sound via the two microphones located on the top of the camera.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Canon EOS 5DS</span> Digital camera model

The Canon EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R are two closely related digital SLR cameras announced by Canon on February 6, 2015. Both are professional full-frame cameras with 50.3-megapixel sensors, the highest of any full-frame camera at the time of announcement. The only difference between the two models is that the sensor of the "R" version includes an optical filter that cancels out the effects of a standard optical low-pass filter. This distinction is roughly similar to that between Nikon's now-replaced D800 and D800E. Canon stated that both the 5DS and 5DS R will not replace the older EOS 5D Mark III; therefore, both the 5DS and 5DS R will have their new positions in Canon's DSLR camera lineup.
