The Canon PowerShot SX50 HS is a very likeable superzoom with an easy-to-master feature-set and has everything needed to bridge the gap between your ageing point-and-shoot and that financially out of reach DSLR....

Superzoom cameras were already passing epic magnification levels last year, so it is with no shortage of bewildered fascination that we sit here reviewing the world's first consumer still camera to offer 50x optical zoom. To put that in perspective, were ...
Raw shooting, decent optical image stabilisation system, vari-angle LCD, among the best superzoom image quality at lower ISO settings, close-up macro mode
Chromatic aberrations, limited maximum aperture at longer focal lengths (and less bright than predecessor), auto-area focus can decide to focus on some strange areas, small viewfinder, shorter battery life than predecessor, stabilisation struggles at long

50x zoom range, Raw format shooting, Articulating screen, Low image noise
Poor EVF
What we've got here is good image quality, lots of features, an attractive body and plenty to appeal to a wide variety of photographers. While it's true that the Panasonic FZ200 offers a better maximum aperture value, of f/2.8 throughout its entire range...

50x zoom, Great outdoor images, Robust features and scenes
Poor lowlight images, Pictures get blurry easily at tail end of zoom
The Canon PowerShot SX50 HS is a good camera for outdoor shots during the daytime, but suffers a fair bit when things start getting darker. If you have a tripod with you, you'll be glad to know that you can make the most of the 50x zoom length that this ...
