At first glance, the Powershot SX500, was a solid camera that was simple enough for beginners but had enough features to keep more experienced photographers happy. It's definitely an interesting buy for the $300 price tag. Best Buy now has this camera—along with other long zoom cameras—on sale with free shipping.
