You just met a fire dancer and tried some fried ants on a stick. Are these not things that you would want to share with your friends?! I mean come on, you are dating fire and eating creatures of the soil. These are the most hashtag worthy things ever.

There will never be an iPhone good enough for me, I like my digital compact cameras thank you.

So far yet so near

You can see the concert. You have travelled 600 miles to join in The Warped Tour for the first time in your life and god you will not go home without some kickass photos.

Cue Canon’s PowerShot SX520 HS. With a long zoom (42x optical), you would be able to see the sweat drops on your lead singer. I’m kidding – but you will be able to see his beautiful face despite being pushed to the back of the concert. Never again miss quality just because of distance. The zoom will be able to capture his face so brilliantly, it’d be good enough to be a poster afterwards.

Speed now has a face

Now, you are joining the city marathon. You usually don’t run and you really want to capture this moment in case you never join another marathon again. You hand your camera to your friend and tell him, “I must look good.”

With the new Advanced Zoom Framing Assist function, you can look ridiculously photogenic even as you run along at high speed. The function not only tracks and capture subjects it is focused on, but also follows their movement and keeps them in focus. So you can aspire one day to look like Zeddie Little.

Not only that, this makes for the perfect camera to bring to the zoo too. You know how elusive animals are, and the Zoom Framing Assist will power you through their movements and get you the perfect, Instagram-worthy shot.
