The Canon 520 HS is a slim, pocketable point-and-shoot built for everyday convenience. At the core is a **10MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor** driven by a **DIGIC 5** image processor, covering an ISO range of **100 to 3200**. Shooting is composed on a **3.0-inch fixed LCD** with **461,000 dots** of resolution, while the **contrast detection autofocus system** draws on **9 focus points** for subject acquisition. **Optical Image Stabilization (OIS)** helps keep handheld shots sharp, and a **burst mode of up to 6.8 fps** lets you capture fast action. For video, the camera records at up to **30fps** in **8-bit** color depth across a range of color profiles. The body is made from a **metal and plastic composite**, measures **87 x 54 x 19 mm**, and weighs just **155g**. Storage uses **microSD, microSDHC, or microSDXC** cards, and the camera connects via **USB** or **Micro HDMI** for playback. The **NB-9L battery** provides approximately **190 shots per charge**.

Paired with Canon's DIGIC 5 processor, this sensor delivers reliable image quality for everyday point-and-shoot use.
