Zur Videoaufnahme ist die Canon Powershot SX520 HS eine nur durchschnittliche Wahl, ebenso wie bei dem verbauten Display und auch der Bedienung. Der integrierte Blitz hingegen macht einen guten Job, zumal auch die Fotoqualität eine Stärke darstellt.

Rank 1 out of 5Stiftung WarentestReleaseNovember 2014

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