Nice bridge camera which takes very good, sharp photos - but the new finder is very small and you can't tell whether your photos are good until you review them! Also, the small view finder makes it very difficult to find subject matter - at least, the small ones! I enjoy bird photography and sometimes just shoot in the direction that I know the bird is without being able to find the bird in the view finder. That said, even bird behind branches generally come out well focused. The ISO can leave photos grainy at higher ends, but 400 ISO has been working fairly well in low light. Battery life seems good and it is a very light weight camera. For serious photography, I still use my DSLR, but this Canon Powershot is great for quick walks or to throw in the car and have handy. I also plan to carry this while biking when the weather cools down a bit more.Read full review

I prefer the Canon Powershot SX50 to the SX40 which I preordered but immediately sent back. Did not order the SX60 but I finally decided to replace my SX30 with the SX50 and have never regretted it. Both my wife and I use the SX50 and I have two back up cameras still in their original boxes - that is how much I like this camera. I use the SX50 as my primary camera and rarely break out my 60D. This is a prosumer camera and easy enough to use for me since I have progressed with this camera series since the S3. I hate that Canon does not provide a printed user guide or even the option to purchase one. I think they do a great disservice to those who are not familiar with the SX series of Canon cameras. I shoot primarily on AV or TV, M (manual) when aperture or speed preferred setting do not provide the desired results. I love the articulated monitor and probably will never purchase another camera without one. I carry my SX50 with me at all times in my modified photo vest. I recommend it to anyone wanting a camera that will shoot from 24 mm to 1200 mm (35 equiv). Image stabilization helps a lot. It is easy to use - if you know how. I find the image quality satisfactory and shoot JPEG almost exclusively. It is an excellent value. Charlie Wambeke Photography October 2015Read full review

It is a quality camera at a low price. My first Canon. Have a Nikon D800 and D610, higher res than this camera but both are a lot more expensive. If you don't need professional level images like my D800 produces with a 36 mp sensor, then I recommend this Canon PowerShot SX50! High quality, low price, easy to use.

This is my "desert island" camera -- if I was stranded on a desert island and could have only one camera, this would be it. I never go out the door without it, even if I'm also carrying DSLR's worth thousands of dollars this camera is always with me. Yes, it sometimes lacks a little detail, sometimes produces images with some digital noise, and things of that nature, but overall this camera produces amazing images and has pleased me for years. My original SX-50 died after many hundreds of thousands of photos and I went in search of a replacement, and found this one. It's like new and works perfectly. I expect it to continue the legacy of my beloved original camera.

I take this camera with me most days and have it at the ready when I need to capture some image. Often my target is in a tree or distant field, but sometimes it can be something close at hand. The lens on the SX50 lets me take good photos in all those situations. It is so much easier to take this camera than to lug a DSLR and a couple of lenses. It isn't going to produce the same quality of photos as a DSLR, but considering price, weight and size this is an excellent alternative. I have owned an SX50 since they first came available (4 years ago?) and bought this one for my spouse.
