hi everyone,

the reviews for this camera look good, i have a nikon d90 with 70-300mm lens and i'm not really getting on with it. i mainly shoot wildlife and can't afford a bigger lens, so i was wondering if anyone has the SX50 and what its like for wildlife photography with its super zoom, , just weary of the image quality at longer focal lengths.

any help/advice please

mike

thanks, the only thing is they seem to have fallen short on a few things like the viewfinder so just weary that canon have already got a new version in the pipeline :S

The SX50 is a great camera but I feel that the rise in ISO setting for the longer zoom and the shorter shutter timer setting of only 15 seconds does not seem to be its' greatest points according to the many reviews I've looked at when choosing this camera. Eventually I chose the Panasonic Lumix FZ200 as it is only £330 here ( http://www.digitalrev.com/product/panasonic-lumix-dmc-fz200/MTAwMTEwMw_A_A?googl... ) and I hope to get the cashback promotion for it before the end of January 2013. Purchase deadline for this deal is end of 2012.

I've seen the many reviews and lets face it, you could go on about these two cameras till nobody knows what to go for in the end and both cameras are brilliant. The FZ200 has more features but the SX50 has a massive zoom that is 50x optical (100x digital!) and also the SX50 seems to have less noise than the FZ200 at higher ISO settings. The FZ200 has a faster lense however and can stay at ISO100 throughout without any problems.

Now I'm going on and on, just look at these two reviews and then all the discussions, everybody has a lot of difficulty deciding what to choose:

Hi to all,
I know that this post is about 8 months behind but I wanted to know how are people uploading photos taken from the sx50 with no noise in the pictures, and every picture that I take has noise in all of them? No matter what setting I use.

Hi Rod, welcome to EPZ!

May I suggest you upload a few images to show us what you mean (making sure the EXIF details are included) - I'm sure someone will be able to help you, once they know all the details and how noisy your images are.
