Canon SX50 HS Point & Shoot Camera

- Optical Zoom: 50 | Digital Zoom: 4x
- Sensor Type: CMOS | LCD Size: 2.8 inch
- Max Shutter Speed: 1/2000
- Auto Focus
Point and Shoot cameras are perfect for people who love to learn the details of photography. This is especially prominent in the Canon range of cameras as they are very user-friendly. This is best suited for people who are well versed in photography, yet are not confident enough to step up to a DSLR just yet.
Sensor Technology
This camera is equipped with a powerful and highly responsive 12.1 MP CMOS sensor that can be used for high speed photography with the right lighting conditions. In terms of ordinary situations, or even in the auto mode, you can rely on this camera to perform really well in low light conditions, or across the brightness spectrum.
Image Stabilization is Key
In any camera, a stable image is possible only if the device is kept really still, or at the very least, the device should have the necessary features that let you take crystal clear images even under unstable conditions. This Canon Powershot camera is equipped with an Intelligent Image Stabilizer system that ensures that you always take high quality images free of blurs and other stability related imperfections.
Display Features and Screen Technology
This camera employs an LCD screen with 2.8 inches of size that comes in the Vari-angle format. This is a great format that allows you to quickly and efficiently turn the screen to almost any angle with relation to the lens direction. This also means that you can take difficult angles with relative ease.
High Speed Photography with Auto Focus
This camera is also incorporated with the high speed Auto Focus feature that allows you to focus quickly on the subject under the auto mode. This is a special feature as not many point and shoot cameras, even advanced ones, have quick focus. This is a feature that comes in handy especially when you go in for quick photography, when a situation is so fleeting that manually focusing on it may result in that moment passing by.

An Ultra-Zoom that will overwhelm you, every time!
The other cameras that I had been comparing with this one were Sony DSC-HX200V, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200, Fujifilm FinePix HS25EXR/HS30EXR. After comparing hundreds of pictures online and personally testing the Fuji and the Sony in a store, here is my verdict.
I didn't like the Fuji because of it's manual zoom. The camera is already very heavy and the ma...

Great Camera but with Limitations due to Price Range
1. Crop Factor (search videos online and study about it ) = 5.62
Crop factor or focal length multiplier is calculated by dividing the diagonal of 35 mm film (43.27 mm) with the diagonal of the sensor.
Crop factor = 43.27 / sensor diagonal in mm
Canon PowerShot SX50 HS crop factor
Sensor diagonal in mm = 7.70 mm
Crop fa...

Buy this now!
1) There are too many buttons on the back which get pressed inadverently.
2) With such a terrific zoom, I don't see much use of the LCD panel, instead I wish to have a terrific EVF on its next avatar.
3) Inclusion of remote handling capability would be wonderful.
4) The AF is great but I would wish a little more upgrading.
5) I hop...

World's Best Zoom Camera
1. You are getting zoom of 50x optical and 4x digital. Buying that zoom in DSLR lenses will empty my pocket. And I am not going for photo exhibition.
2. It shoots raw.
3. It possesses a smaller sensor compared to DSLR but if I compare it with other Zoom Camera...

One of the best cameras from Canon
Pros:
1. Zoom Stability: Probably one of the best in the business for extreme telephoto end zooming. Autofocus lovers can have a field day with this camera.
2. Shutter Speed: The minimum shutter speed in this is around 15 seconds, which is pretty good enough...

Excellent Piece of Equipment!
Pros:
Quick focus as the telephoto end
Great image quality at full zoom
LCD works well even in bright light
Plenty of manual controls to maximize the image quality of this camera
Cons: Only two rather minor issues
1) Viewfinder is not too good
2) Hand grip is a little small for someone with large hands (like me for example)
Overall an excellent camera. If you want the best image quality for this class of ca...
