Are you wondering what this thing can do? For high-quality photos, sports mode, video, etc.? Go to my photography page where photoshoots and videos are posted with using THIS camera. Facebook.com/DiligoAmabilisPhotographyThat'll bring you to the page and you can see all the work I have done with this camera, I am so happy I got it! If you want to handle it before buying it on Amazon, go to Walmart, Target or Best Buy. They should have it on display (I got mine at Best Buy).By FAR the best thing about this camera is the zoom! It probably shouldn't be legal for how far this thing goes... Haha! And no, it's not some big blurry blob of nothing when you zoom all the way, the quality is amazing for how far away it can be.Got questions about it and wanna talk about it? Email me! DiligoAmabilisPhotography@aol.com -I'm happy to answer ANY of your questions!Good:Lots of different modes/settings to make wherever/whatever you are shooting the best quality it can be!I do professional photography, and the "C1" setting vs. auto...? C1 makes a crystal clear photo, the megapixels makes you want to shout with joy... lolSports mode shutter speed is crazy fast!The screen will come out, flip over, go sideways, etc. When you shoot up, you can aim your screen down. Or when you shoot down you can aim your screen up. Just about anyway you need to shoot, the screen can be combatable with.Okay, as I said... THE ZOOM! Speaking about it doesn't do it justice...The sound quality when you are recording video is so good it's almost annoying... I was once was making a video in my basement, and had to stay awake until 1am when everyone in my house was asleep... Why? Because the camera picked up floorboards squeaking upstairs... No really, you could probably mumble something and somehow, it'd be on audio...Good, anti-slip grip when holding it.LONG battery life... When fully charged, mine goes for about 12hrs.Anyways... I could go on and on and on about good stuff. So email me with specific questions... Hah!Bad:(I'm sitting here trying to think of something negative, and it's not working... Geez. There has to be SOMETHING that is slightly wrong with it)...OH. When your shooting in the evening, sports mode takes pictures slower...Um um um... That's all? I'm sure there might be another thing or two, but that's all I can honestly think of..-Again, please do not hesitate to email me if you have any questions!!

I recently went on a 5 week trip to Hong Kong and China, and wanted a smaller, more flexible camera than my digital Nikon SLR. I took 2,800 pictures and a dozen video clips with this camera and it fit my needs almost perfectly. The incredible zoom capability was especially useful in two ways. First, I can frame any shot exactly the way I want it. With the old camera, I'd have to switch lenses or accept a shot which didn't frame the subject the way I wanted. Second, the extra long zoom provides the ability to take candid closeups of subjects which are fairly distant. It's also great for wildlife. I even used it as a telescope to read signs or examine things at a distance. The image stabilization works pretty well, though not 100% of the time. Sometimes I would have to take a second or third shot to get a good image when on high telephoto. The camera also compensated for low light very well up to a point. In early evening or indoor light, sometimes pictures would come out better without a flash than with it.The video clip capability works well, but eats up a lot of space and will shut off after a few minutes. It's really not a video camera. A couple of negatives - the viewfinder was worthless, but the screen is bright enough to use in the sun unlike some other cameras. Also, the video button is right where my thumb tends to rest when holding the camera, so it's easy to accidentally start a video.Overall, I'm very happy with this camera.

This is not a product review as I am planning to return the camera for deceitful practice by AMAZON. There was a limited time promotion on the camera when I ordered the camera. The bag and the memory card were advertised as part of the purchase price but they were not in the package when I received the camera.When I called the Amazon customer care, they said that they were not aware of promotion as it is no longer available and will have to forward it to their promotion department. The promotion department responded to the query by putting a link to another promotion which said that the bag and card should have been ordered with the camera. SERIOULY AMAZON !!! If you do not mention the brand of the case and card in the promotion how the heck will the customer know what to add. Do you expect us to guess? Also, if there was a promotion and you expected the customer to add the it to the order should you NOT have prompted me to add it if it was missing. Were you expecting to get away with providing the card and case if the customer forgets to add?The next time I called Amazon customer care to challenge the response and the customer care rep responded by apologizing for not having sent the case and card (That's why one star else it would have been no STAR!). But she was not able to send them to me now as the offer had expired and hence cannot be added to the cart to be shipped.The expectation was that AMAZON should have sent the case and card with the package as advertised and not rely on the customer to guess something and add it to order hoping that it will be waived at the time of order confirmation. Hopefully somebody @AMAZON reads the review and they do not advertise such fraudulent promotions in future.

5 stars for value for price factor. Well built, solid. Flash is adequate for family oriented, non-professional work but don't try to shoot a wedding with it professionally ;0) Has a flash override which I use a lot, many times I need a fill flash in bright sunlight to avoid harsh shadows on a facial portrait (eg at the beach). So-so quality in existing light situations; again, you're not paying top dollar either. It's good for me, but for those who love dark settings/existing light it will be iffy results, sometimes great, sometimes not depending on conditions. Shooting at a full, bright moon on a clear night with stars will give good results, shooting the moon when overcast at night with tree branches will not have a good result. You will totally love the zoom, and the anti-shake feature at extreme zoom is excellent. I shot a wedding recently, and got some great candids. 300 people and I could stand at the far end of the hall and easily frame a head & shoulders on someone at the other end. They didn't know I was photographing them so I got some really nice shots. No blurs from handshake, there was slightly dimmed lighting in the hall for mood. General outdoor has excellent, deep color. On scenics, especially wildlife, you will kiss this camera, trust me. Your finger will never leave the zoom lever. Camera also has wide angle/24mm which is about as wide as you can get without going into fisheye lenses. Good for mountain ranges, etc.Canon has put out another great camera.

I've owned a variety of top of the line SLR's. I took a Canon SX20IS to Europe with me 4 years ago, shot over 6000 pics and hours of video without out a misfire (on the camera's part) and have since passed it down to the next lucky owner. This camera does all I need without having to carry extra lenses, etc. Slightly lighter than the SX20, it still has the feel of a "real" camera, and most important, it too has a view finder. As I shoot 90% of my photos through the view finder, and under certain lighting conditions, the view finder is an absolute necessity. The mobile flip screen makes it possible to get those really creative and otherwise impossible shots. The photo quality is superb. I shoot on high resolution and I've blown these pictures up to 20x30 with unbelievable clarity. You can get 1200 pics on an 8 gb SD card with room to spare. This is a great camera for the above average amateur who wants to travel light. I did purchase the spare battery pack, to be sure of my power source. A small case of basic filters rounds out the purchase and you're good to go. My one concern was the power source. The SX20 used AA's, which is std world wide. But the battery in the SX50 seems to last a long time, so I feel comfortable with it now. Looking forward to many happy hours of use from this camera. There are numerouse adjustments which you can get creative with. Great little camera!

I bought this camera to replace my Fujifilm FinePix HS10 that has recently decided to take pictures only 10% of time when the "shutter" button is pressed. With a 50x optical zoom, the Canon SX50 HS could so easily be a "Five Star No-Brainer", but it misses the mark in several key places. Because of the number of extensive and well written reviews of this camera and its features, I'll simply give the bulk of my review in list form of pros and cons.What I Like- "Holy Crap It's HUGE" zoom- Very good image stabilization- Quick focus (when it works) and metering adjustments when snapping pics... no shutter lag at all- Very good quality bright light photos- Very good (for a super zoom) color in images- Did I mention the size of its zoom?What I Don't Like- Auto focus is sometimes quirky- 12 megapixel is a little on the low side... I'd think this camera would've merited 16 MP- Camera body is just a little small for a bridge super zoom camera- Placement of Movie Record, Self-Timer, and Trash buttons ensure you will occasionally press them by accident- Not the best indoor shots (you don't want to go above ISO 800 with the SX50)- Fold out LCD can get in the way- Auto focus assist light blinds subjects, even from 15 feet away- Doesn't use standard AA batteriesThe focusing problem is my biggest issue with this camera so far. Sometimes the camera will focus on a small object, and sometimes it will focus on the background. For example, I recently tried zooming in on a bluebird sitting on a fence post and it took several attempts before the camera would focus on the bird and not the foliage behind it, even though the bird nearly filled the screen. I ended up having to put the camera in full-time auto focus, get it to focus on the base of the fence post where it met the ground, and then move center frame up the pole until I had my bird centered.In conclusion, I'd be in heaven if I could take the best qualities of this camera (mainly the zoom) and combine them with the best of my old Fuji HS 10. Obviously that isn't possible, so the question really is, if I had a "do-over," would I buy this camera again? The answer is, with a little reservation, yes. Most of the faults of the camera are things I can overcome, and I'm sure with a little time, I will learn to adjust my shooting technique to minimize them.The bulk of my photography is wildlife (mostly birds) and landscapes, so the zoom on the SX50 is perhaps the most important feature for my type of photography. If I did a lot of indoor photography I might think twice about making this my camera of choice. If I were shooting a high school wrestling tournament or basketball game, this would not be the camera I'd want in my bag, in spite of what the zoom would do for my shots.

I have read many reviews about this camera, probably more than I had to but before I buy something I want to make sure I'm getting what I pay for. I knew I wanted a super zoom camera but since there are now so many different models available, the choice was a difficult one. The reason why I chose this two year old model over a newer one was that I found the sample images taken with this camera were better than others I have seen. That, coupled with some very good reviews written by people who have been using the camera for a while, prompted me to buy one. I have had it for over a month and I have not been disappointed. I bought the camera primarily for wildlife pictures and not only have I found the results very good, some of my friends who are avid photographers have also been very, very impressed. I would even say shocked, at the quality this camera is capable of producing.I won't go into detail about all the cameras features and settings because that is available all over the net and even here at Amazon. If it seems like I'm going overboard about the sx50 it's just that I have been so pleased with this purchase and have been having so much fun with this camera, I strongly recommend it to anyone who loves to take great pictures.Remember, a picture is worth a thousand words so check out some samples around the net and see, despite some one star reviews (which I don't understand why they are there) this really is an excellent camera.

My wife and I are birders and are always on the look for a camera with great zooming ability that is still sufficiently light to carry. We have owned Canon's prior model, the SX40, for just 2 months and loved it. When the SX50 came out, we were tempted, but skeptical about the faster auto focus and the additional zooming ability. We decided to give it a try. The verdict: Canon managed to noticeably improve on an already excellent product, and we bit the bullet and bought the new model.Here are our observations:General impression: the camera is light, has a nice grip, and takes amazing bird pictures even with free hands. The image quality further improves with the aid of a light tripod. When it comes to landscape pictures, the image is less ideal (less sharp) comparing to those taken by Canon S95, a compact camera we own. So our solution is to carry both cameras (both are so light) if we want to have excellent pictures for birding/wild life and landscape.Below is a direct comparison between SX50 and SX40:Auto focus: It really is much faster and more reliable than the SX40's. This is a big deal, particularly for taking pictures of birds.1200mm zoom: This sounds too good to be true for free-hand shooting with a compact camera and in a way it is. At some point cropping yields better results than zooming. So I was skeptical whether SX50's extra zooming ability would really add any value compared to the SX40. Some extensive testing revealed that the SX50 performs equally well as the SX40 at the same (840mm) zoom level. When zooming in further, there is some additional resolution (sharper image) compared to cropping. However, the added value is small and disappears in all but at the very best lighting conditions.Aperture: The aperture numbers are less than stellar: 3.4W-6.5T. Keep in mind though that at 1200mm poor aperture numbers are simply a fact of life. Also worth mentioning: At around 840mm, the aperture is the same as the SX40's, so no loss there. That being said, I would not recommend using this camera except for its amazing zooming ability. In the standard or wide angle range most any compact camera will deliver better results than the SX50.In summary, the SX50 is an amazing camera if used for the special purpose that it is good for. This includes birding, wild life photography, and anything else that really needs zooming in to the max. However, this is not an all-purpose camera. If your main need is to take amazing landscape pictures, other compact cameras would be a better option. (For higher quality images, we use Canon S95 or 5D depending on weight restrictions).Worth mentioning: Before we purchased our SX40, we also tested Nikon P510. SX40 outperformed P510 in auto focus (speed & reliability) and picture quality (sharpness).Useful accessories to greatly improve image quality:- Sirui T-1204X: ultra lightweight and super sturdy tripod, essential to keep the ISO low.SIRUI 4 Section Pro Carbon Fiber Tripod T1204x with Professional Travel Bag- Sirui G-10 ball head: lightweight and smooth. Total weight with the T-1204X is about 2.5lbSIRUI G-10 29mm Ballhead with Quick Release, 40 lbs Load Capacity- Canon remote switch: to avoid shaking caused by pushing the shutter release button.Canon Remote Switch RS60 E3

LOVE this camera! excellent quality pictures, easy operation, compact and the zoom is awesome! The macro shots are clear and capture the detail without blurring. I have been very impressed with this camera. It's a dynamo in a small package. The video is great....good clear videos and very good in low light. It's a very good bridge camera for the money.The only thing I would change is that I keep accidentally hitting the self timer button somehow....that button does not need to be so easily turned on and I have small hands! I accidentally hit that self timer button and then I have to wait for it to go off before I can take my shot resulting in some missed shots. The way the buttons are arranged, I have to be extremely careful not to mash one or more buttons on the camera every time I pick up the camera, The battery life seems to be kind of short also. I purchased 2 extra batteries and have had to rely on them several times when out shooting pictures. If you buy this camera, spend the extra money and get extra batteries. But except for a few aggravating features like the battery and the buttons, the camera is excellent. I'm giving it 5 stars on the picture quality and the awesome zoom capability.

This camera, while reputed to be not up to the image quality of a DSLR, more than makes up for the difference in convenience, weight and simplicity. The images are plenty good enough for my purposes. I previously owned the Canon SX40, and this newer model has noticeably shorter shutter lag, a needed improvement which shows up in my action photographs. For example I just attended an air show with the Navy Blue Angels performing. While standing at the front of the viewing area I was using the zoom function between 400mm and 1200mm, and captured a number of maneuvers being performed at 350-450 mph, in a couple of instances with jets entering the image area at 400mph from opposite directions, a total of 800 mph. I actually captured close-up images with the planes virtually nose-to nose, in one case actually overlapped - one with cockpit up, one down, all in single-shot mode. Certainly I had some misses also, mostly with planes zipping out of the image area in tight crops, not unexpected because I wasn't using a tripod..The SX40 would have been useless for this scenario. I also feel that the improved Auto Exposure scene selection logic gives more consistent results in varying light and contrast situations. I love the new larger and sharper LCD. And all this capability fits into my fanny pack with a spare battery, 1200 mm and all. Love this camera.

I hauled off & bought a Nikon L810 in January 2013. I got the Nikon & was okay happy about it until I used the Video & discovered the blurry + zoom it had. I also noticed that the Shutter Button wasn't "acting right" & all of a sudden, it stopped working altogether. So back in the box it all went, I sent for a Refund & good ol' Amazon was MORE than willing to give me a full refund.The next day it left my home & when I went back to look at other models, I decided I was NOT going to limit myself to a mere $200-250 price tag. I stepped up my budget and BOY am I ever glad I did! I saw this Canon SX50 & went to You Tube, looking at all the Reviews and demonstrations of the camera & it's 50X zoom. I splurged and put this SX50 on my Amazon.com Store Card.Believe me now & hear me later, I looked at EVERY single bridge camera out on the market in the span of a month and the SX50 is THE best deal going....could it have a 16MP on it, sure; but you'll not miss it, the pixs on this camera are just fine.I got the camera yesterday & I am ALREADY thrilled and can't WAIT to get to CA in March and try it out on the Auto Club Speedway!! This zoom is INCREDIBLE, the camera is sturdy, the functions are MANY but almost idiot-proof....I hate having to "study" a manual on anything, but this camera's functions are straight forward and almost make sense the way they are programmed into the camera and set up to guide the owner thru taking pictures or videos. No more dragging the manual out EVERY time you go to take an unusual picture or video,.....the instructions make it pretty safe to bet your pix will be good.If you're curious about the bridge cameras, go to You Tube, you find out ALL you want to know about this little gems.I paid $403 for mine, it's already gone down to $399 and might go down more, I have probably already sold at least 3 of these for Amazon! The filters, hood, adapters, accessories and cases are cheap enough here, or on Ebay...you do not have to be rich to HAVE a good bridge camera. You don't have to be a semi or pro photographer, this camera will walk you thru everything. The CD w/ apps and manual is easy to read and the manual is easy enuff to pull up anytime.I used to take LOTS of photos for my work & personal use with my old Yashica FX-2 & this Canon is the closest thing to my old faithful 35mm I have found yet, unless I wanted to spend the megabucks for a DSLR. Don't hesitate, if you want a good bridge camera and have $400, this is the best one to date. There's only Pros on my Review; I guess if I just HAVE to gripe about something, it would be that you don't get a USB cord in the box.I'm a happy camper, this is gonna be it for awhile, it's all I'll need unless I leave it on the roof of my car someday. ;) JK! Not gonna happen, love this camera.

I have recommended this very versatile camera to several people, because it is a great buy for the 50x features. I have been able to do nice macro at 50x at a distance of 1.3m with it. It's hard to use manual focus, and you need to know the custom settings to make this well for your applications. But, overall a remarkable camera. The reason for my lower rating here is that my camera suddenly stopped working a few weeks out of the warranty period (black screen), and Canon would not repair it, but offered to sell me a replacement. This camera was never dropped etc. and was working well until it suddenly stopped. I recommend that if you want this camera that you buy an extended warranty with it, since repair is apparently not an option. Be sure to keep all of your paperwork and be ready to send it in for replacement when the time comes. I've used many digital cameras for years, and this is not the first defect I have encountered, but it is the first time I had one that just stopped displaying what it saw. The display of pictures already taken and other features, including the zoom motor, still worked, so I assume either a software failure that could not reboot, or more likely a wiring or sensor failure.

I wanted to like this camera but unfortunately I have to look beyond my favorite CANON powershot line for my next point and shoot camera. I ordered this camera and was so excited to replace my recently deceased 4MP CANON powershot that has amazingly lasted over a decade of service. The first week I convinced myself the SX510 HS was great, it takes beautiful well balanced and colorful photos OUT of automatic and scene selection modes (BUT changing manual settings must be done slowly via on screen menu) and I loved throwing photos wirelessly from the camera to my iphone and could text/email nice photos easily from wherever. Week 2 however, the WiFi would not connect to any device: computer, iphones, imacs, powerbooks, just plain dead. I was enthralled with the feature so I exchanged for a new one. Getting a dud electronic every once in a while is understood, Amazon was great to send a new camera almost next day, and I used the same box/wrapping for my return. That's not worth a bad review. The new replacement camera took less than 10 photos and something started rattling like loose plastic inside the camera...come on. It felt light to begin, convinced that was OK, but this could never replace my trusty old powershot in quality.

I won't go in-depth with this review, as more knowledgeable camera aficionados have written more detailed summaries than I possibly could. But I wanted to add my voice to the chorus who are singing this camera's praises in the reviews.I love photography but am not a camera-savvy expert by any means. I like a camera that takes great pictures without me having to know a lot about the technical considerations. The SX50 is the perfect camera for me. I can leave it on auto mode and get great shots in just about any lighting conditions. Of course, the SX50 has a full menu system with which I can control the camera's configurations should I wish - it's an enormously flexible piece of equipment. And as many people here have said, the 50x zoom is spectacular, for the most part taking great shots even when handheld. I recommend a tripod for full zoom though, as well as a remote shutter switch so that the camera won't shake when you press the shutter button at full zoom. Check for my pic of a recent full moon in the submitted pics section for an example of full (optical) zoom, Auto mode, tripod and shutter remote.I know I'm going to get my money's worth out of this camera, and I do highly recommend it.

Excellent little camera. Very light, very compact. Fantastic zoom lens and very nice manual features.Only a couple of small things are a little bit irksome. Due to it being such a small camera, the grip on the right hand side is a bit cramped. It can be difficult to figure out a way to comfortably grasp the camera, especially if you have larger hands. Secondly, the additional camera modes seem a bit arbitrary and not necessarily the best choices; it has an artificial "fish eye lens" effect, but no automatic panorama, which seems like an odd choice to include the former but not the latter. Lastly, the WiFi functionality is very useful, but could use a bit of tweaking. The process of connecting to a local network or device isn't exactly intuitive, and the process of selecting multiple photos to upload and add comments to them is a bit cumbersome. The functionality is definitely very nice, but it feels like it might need some improvement.Overall, however, I'm very happy with the camera. It could use a few small improvements, but for the price you're getting an excellent camera.

Fantastic little camera with a great lens and awesome zoom. I took it on vacation to Jamaica with my girlfriend and they really captured the experience. The video is impressive and the stabilization is really useful when you're filming while walking or driving. I love this little camera.HoweverI purchased it on March 24th 2014, and today, May 18th 2014 it has stopped functioning properly. Less than 2 months. I am outside of the 30 day exchange period, so I will have to pay shipping to get it replaced or fixed. The button that snaps the photo, as well as the zoom slider have both become difficult to use. When I zoom it sticks, and continues to go either out or completely in until it can't any further. The button also intermittently works when I snap a photo, I have to press relatively hard and that leads to a blurry photo. I probably got the lemon of the batch, but in order to review it properly based on my experience I will warrant it only 3 stars.EDIT: I ended up talking to customer service at Amazon, and no questions asked they sent me a return label. Since it will be so easy to exchange, I will bump it up to 4 stars!

I wanted a camera that took awesome still shots and could shoot 1080P for my youtube projects. I thought I had struck gold with this camera, but unfortunately I was wrong. I tried recording videos over and over again and randomly, during the process, the camera would beep and stop recording. Confused and irritated, I looked online, tried contacting Canon for support (that was a waste of time) and kept looking for help on forums. Finally, I found a yahoo answers that explained what was happening. The sensor in the camera will start to overheat, or get close to overheating and stop recording to protect itself. Though it may be a nice feature to elongate the lifespan of your product, Canon really should have mentioned a LIMITED recording time on this product page. It just says "Capture beautiful 1080p full HD video in stereo sound with a dedicated movie button." When it should have said, "Capture beautiful 1080p full HD video in stereo sound for a few minutes, before I get too warm and switch off." Of course, that doesn't sound very appealing, now does it?That being said, The image quality of the photos were absolutely awesome! So I'm very sad I'm returning this camera.Pros - Great still shot quality and great build quality.Cons - Shooting video with a sentient-like sensor that will just randomly shut off when it gets warm sucks, hardcore.

I love this camera. I've been using it since late July, so through 3 family vacation events countless garden shots and an amazing peak foliage in VT trip. I bought this as a step up from my Canon Elph (SD 1100 IS) which I also love - and still use. I'm a 50+ year old mom who has aimed for simple, minimal thought needed for most of my picture taking years.You can't think about the f stop and keep them out of the lake at the same time. The Elph got me through years of field trips and hikes and other kid stuff that I just didn't want to have to engage the brain, but still get great photos-and fits in my pocket. I got frustrated with the lack of zoom though, so started looking. There are lots of choices out there, but when I got my more technically minded and camera savvy husband to check my top 5 choices (by way of what I thought I wanted and customer reviews), I gave him the parameters of - least customer complaints, maximum zoom, and stick with Canon if you can because I am already used to their symbols and menu navigation nuisances. He agreed with my top choice despite strong leanings towards Nikon. They will always be faster, but seriously, I'm not that picky. I will never be a professional photographer, but this camera could be used by one. I am still working on reading the manual for a bunch of presets I can make, but it is also totally possible to just set it on auto and use it. I have photos of loons where you can see every feather and the drops of lake water on them. I will say that, before we headed for foliage in VT - I bought a set of filters and adapter ring for it. Just wanted the polarizing filter, but the others may be useful and it was under $30 for the set. Incredible photos, easy to use and a completely reasonable price, and I know I have MUCH to learn to be using it at full capacity!

My husband and I were in the market for a new camera as what we would be replacing had lower megapixels than our cameras on our phones. It was time for an upgrade! After extensive research online and recommendations from friends we decided to go with the SX50. We wanted something that had the ability to be customized as I learned more about photography and would be similar to a DSLR yet we also wanted to be able to just "point and shoot" until I got the hang of it all. I enjoy taking photos but I really have no idea what a lot of the terminology is yet. The idea of getting a DSLR was really intimidating, plus the cost difference was pretty substantial if we were going to go with the "best" beginner DSLR out there. The SX50 offered the chance for me to learn more while still have an automatic setting that could take all the guess work out of it for me. Less than a week after we got the camera we went to a friend's wedding. The 4 hour plane ride to get there allowed me some time to play around with all the settings and trying to learn some tricks to get good pictures at the wedding. At the wedding though, I wasn't comfortable enough to actually use any of the settings so I took nearly all of the photos on the auto setting. It actually worked out ok because the auto setting took GREAT pics! Since we've been home I've gotten the chance to mess around with the settings a little bit more and I'm slowly starting to get more comfortable with them and what they do. I'm really happy that I'm able to do that. Other features about the camera that we really like are the 50x zoom. I had no idea how far that really is until I was taking pictures from my couch of a squirrel outside in a tree-I got so close that it looked like he was sitting right next to me! We also really like the screen and the way it can be folding back to protect it. Another camera we were thinking of getting was the Nikon P510 but we really disliked how the screen on that one moved. With the Canon we can put the screen facing in to protect it from being damaged when we aren't using it and that is a huge plus-the last thing I want to worry about is breaking the screen because we couldn't protect it.Overall, we really like this camera and are really happy we got it. We've yet to do a lot of picture taking since Spring has taken a while to show up and we haven't been outdoors a lot yet. But once we're able to I plan to have that camera by my side taking all kinds of different pictures!

I am a point and shoot photographer! However, needed a better camera for a double safari - 6 week trip to Africa. By the time I got the camera, dealt with the recall and received the replacement, I had only a couple of weeks to get acquainted with a whole new camera system. Intimidated, YES! Well, I am back from the awesome trip with 2400 pictures and am I impressed with this camera. It was learn as you go, it was amazing the pictures I took of the animals, birds, plants and people! The camera performed flawlessly. I was able to photograph herds of animals on the Ngorongoro Crater floor that looked like dots from the rim! For the price of this camera, I am so impressed with the pictures and the camera can perform like a point and shoot. The pictures are amazing and the camera was light enough for me to wear around my neck all day. I did use a good UV lens. My only disappointment is the low/no light, I wish it had a pre-set for those situations (like a point and shoot). I missed a few shots of lions on night drives because I was unable to change the aperture/ISO yet. The long lens on this camera makes it a great camera!!

A person who has been using a Canon S5 IS for over 6 years, the new Canon SX510 HS has alot of whatyou want. Also tells you how well the Canon S5 IS has fit my needs. Only buying the SX 510 for the extra power to catch Wild Life..This new camera has a 30 X Optical vs the old Canon S5 had a 12 X.12 Pixels is a good all round number. Have been using 8 MP for along time and found it plenty.Only part I miss is the Eye View Finder. The new camera has a 3" Screen. This always presents a problem when shooting in sun.No matter the camera, having only a Screen on the back, is about the only draw back of these kind of cameras.For size, excellent. You could call it a Mini Full Size Camera.Weight: wise: excellent. Has the square flat battery. Although, still think the double A's are good. And easy to find vs the flat types. Have extras.If you have any knowledge of past Canon's, you should be able to zip right through the settings.Easy to have around in crowds. No large lens hanging off the camera. You can catch anything in a distance without an extra lens.The 30 Optical is enough for me, without any wiggle. Have yet to figure why people need Digital Powers.This camera is a must. Especially if you do have the larger cameras with all the lens. Such a compact camera.After this many years of being in the S5, all the Upgrades are Great!

I just received this camera yesterday. Fully charged the battery and took some pictures to test it out. When I tried to turn it off, I got "Lens Error, Restart Camera". The only remedy I found was to take the battery out, wait about a minute, then put it back in and it would usually retract the lens. It would only fully retract when the lens was fully set at 24mm wide angle setting. I would expect a camera with a zoom should be able to retract the lens at any optical extension. So I'm sending this one back and getting a different camera. I found out that "Lens Error" is very common with Canon Powershots and that Canon typically blames it on user error (like dust, sand, or dropping it). I had done none of this and it happened right out of the box. Yes, this camera may have been defective, but I don't want to take the chance that replacing it with an identical one wouldn't do the same 6 months from now.It's such a shame because I was able to take an amazing picture of the moon last night ([...]). All the craters of the moon were visible at 50x zoom and auto settings. And it was taken without any tripods, fully handheld. I'm impressed with the photo quality, but not worth having the lens error every time I try to turn it off after use.

I am the owner of many a Nikon (Coolpix, D90, D7000, and D5200). I LOVE my Nikon dSLRs. I am going to Walt Disney World in October and didn't want to drag one of my dSLRs, but I wanted something that would be more flexible and have a better zoom that the Nikon point and shoot that I keep in my pocket book. I was researching on line and was looking at the Nikon Coolpix P520 and read a review about the P520 that mentioned that the SX50 HS was superior. I went to web sites that compared the two and the Canon PowerShot SX50 HS was rated much higher and had better reviews - so I cheated on my NIkons and purchased this Canon. I can't give it 5 stars because I compare its functions and build with my dSLRs - which are much more flexible, more solid, etc. than this Canon - However, it is fast and takes great photos outside (I don't really care for the inside w/ a flash shots - but that is because I usually use external flashes with my dSLRs inside and the quality is just much better). I like that this has a viewfinder as well as an LCD swivel screen. I do not like taking pictures via a LCD screen unless I have too (sometimes it is nice - for instance when shooting video). The video quality of this camera is great. It has a very good 50x Optical Zoom (I seldom use a digital zoom - the quality stinks). I have taken quite a few shots with this camera out the full 50x and have been impressed with the shots even without a tripod. I wish the camera more than a quick manual in hard copy. It really just helps you set the camera up. The full manual is on the CD inside the box -which I have not looked at yet. So - all in all - I am very pleased with this camera which is very reasonably priced. It is well worth the price it sells for. I would recommend it to those not looking for a dSLR but wanting a camera that does more than a point and shoot and that has a good optical zoom.
