An affordable bridge camera with a huge 50x optical zoom
Huge 50x optical zoom, Hotshoe for accessories, Articulated screen
Occasional issues with focusing, Poor quality EVF, Bulky and unrefined design
It's hard to ignore the Canon PowerShot's SX50 HS's 50x optical zoom. Never before has a superzoom laid a 24-1200mm equivalent lens on the features table - something that, in terms of maximum focal length, leaves all other superzooms in the shade. But...
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...

Canon PowerShot SX50 HS review
Canon's superzoom bridge packs a whopping 50x zoom
50x zoom range ; Raw format shooting ; Articulating screen ; Low image noise

Quick Review - Canon SX50 HS
The SX50 HS is packed with features, but it is also exceptionally easy to pick up and start photographing with, not forgetting its massive 50x zoom, which makes it ideal for shooting wildlife or kids' sport. It has a RRP of R5 000.
Expert review by : What Digital Camera (whatdigitalcamera.com)
The Canon PowerShot SX50 HS is a camera that combines an amazingly long zoom lens and a set of enthusiast and novice features, all packed into a surprisingly small bridge-style body and keeping it all relatively easy to use too. Honestly, make no...
