What I don't like about the Canon PowerShot SX530 is:

JPEG Compression Mode

Still Image: Exif. 2.3 (JPEG)

Video: MP4 (Image: MPEG-4 AVC/H.264; Audio: MPEG-4 AAC-LC (Stereo))

-------------

That is it produces a JPEG picture type when RAW, PNG-24 and TIFF are superior, JPEG produces much lower quality images.

At least the Canon PowerShot SX60 does produce both RAW and JPEG, but it is like $429 versus $249 that is $200 more expensive, too bad, I guess that JPEG or not the Canon PowerShot SX530 HS would be the better buy or even the Canon PowerShot ELPH 350 HS at $159 and:

Optical Zoom

12x

Digital Zoom

4.0x

= 12X4= 48 Total Zoom. Not too bad!

And a lot cheaper, but no burst mode, too bad.

But also:

JPEG Compression Mode

Still Image: Exif. 2.3 (JPEG)

Video: MP4 (Image: H.264; Audio: MPEG-4 AAC-LC (Monaural))

That is only JPEG, not very bright of Canon not to have RAW or at least PNG 24 or TIFF on it.

I repeat, JPEGs are trash!
