Product Overview
Canon PowerShot SX540 HS is an entry-level 1/2.3" compact camera with a large zoom range. Introduced by Canon in 2016, it comes with a 1/2.3" sensor with 20 MP (5184 x 3888) resolution.
The camera has a poor battery life, and a second or third battery may be needed to get you through the day. The PowerShot SX540 HS's 5.9 fps burst rate limits its use for certain types of photography, but it is hardly something that most photographers should worry about.
Canon has endowed this compact camera with a 50x zoom lens, which can be quite useful for travels. Last but not least, the camera can focus quite close to the subject.

Reviewer score 36% (normalized by Neofiliac)Canon PowerShot SX540 HS is middling for travel photography. It's lightweight and comfortable to use, though it isn't nearly small enough to fit into a pocket or a small bag. The lens' enormous focal range should allow you to frame both wide-angle shots as well as tight zooms on far-away subjects. Image quality degrades noticeably at higher ISO levels, while its built-in lens has a narrow maximum aperture.
