Powershot SX530 on safari
2

I've recently upgraded from a Powershot SX530HS to an M50, but on a recent safari trip I needed the extra reach so the Powershot came along with me.  All I can say is that I still love this little camera - ok, so it needed stabilised in low light, but my word it delivered on the close up shots. Definitely worth holding onto as my backup camera!

Great shots. I am always debating whether to take my SX50 (equivalent to your SX530zoom wise) or my SL2 with the 55-250 STM.  The SX50 wins out 95% of the time. I come back with more winners and diverse subject matter.

Re: Powershot SX530 on safari

Thank you! My dad (a much more experience photographer than I am) was also on this trip with his T3i and a 300mm lens - much to his annoyance, I've come back with quite a few images that are better than his
