I LOVE this camera, when I first saw it was "to be released" I started getting exited, I need this camera, the zoom was (is) perfect, the price, eh, not outta sight. Finally the day came, It was available to order, I ordered, waiting, patiently for it to arrive in time for our Disneyland vacation. It arrived. I was sceptical, bigger that I was used to, smaller than I expected, would it live up to my 200? ... Then the I took some test shots, garden pics, they looked beautiful!! So we were off to vacation, I took many, many pictures, day, night, motions, stills, portrait, landscapes, flowers, characters, all looked good but only able to see them on the camera. When I got home, I plugged the camera into my 55" HD tv via the hdmi cable, started the slide show.....The moment of truth! Did I get my monies worth? Risking a $4000.00 vacation photo shoot of hundreds of pictures of my kids, the park, capturing the actual "essence" of our grand vacation on a $329.00 camera?I DID!!!I DID !!!

I have been using Canon for the last 15 years. I am now quite familiar with the Canon ELPH series. I was looking for a rather smaller camera to carry around with good telephoto lens. Carrying around my DSLR does take a toll when you are walking about. Especially if you carry a few lenses with you and other equipment. For its ability to take pictures, I believe this camera do deserve at least a 4 star (probably even 5). Low light situation pictures are better. Telephoto pics even with the image stabilizer is still iffy. My problem is the WIFI connection capability. Sounds exciting when I first purchased the camera. Why not. Camera, Video, Wifi...They forgot to mention the system requirements of your computer. IT WILL NOT WORK IF YOU HAVE AN OLDER SYSTEM. Please buyers be aware of this!!! If you are not interested in the Wifi capability, this is quite a good camera. Please check the Canon website for compatibility before you buy...

I had difficulty determining this beforehand, so if anyone's unsure, yes you DO have to provide your own memory card, or else you can't use the camera at all. I bought a Sony 16 GB SDHC/SDHX Class 10 card. Some memory cards might not be fast enough for video recording.Beyond that, I'm no expert, so listen to others more than me. That said, I've made some videos with this and was impressed with the quality. The camera adjusts to light intensity very much like the human eye. This isn't perfect, but neither is the eye. I've tried judging colors, to match stains, from the videos and also from looking directly at the same objects with my own eyes. In both cases, this is quite difficult if brilliant daylight is shining from behind. However, when I showed my videos to the paint vendor, he was surprised that the recording came out so well.I store the camera in the box it came in. I don't plan to use it much, so there's no need for a protective case. If you plan to take this around a lot, buy a case.

Excellent camera. I've had almost every Canon DSLR out there and this one is a great value for the price and quality. Its not a small camera that fits in your purse or pocket, but if you don't mind carrying it in addition to a purse or in a backpack then this is the only camera you need.I am blown away at the quality of the images and video. The optical zoom makes me incredible photos even when all the way zoomed to a subject. However, as with all digital zoom features, the image gets grainy and slightly blurry when zoomed out to max digital capacity. This should not be a surprise to anyone who knows cameras though, they all do that. With the 50x optical zoom, i haven't taken a bad photo yet.Highly recommend this camera to the enthusiast or hobbyist.My only suggestion is that you purchase an additional battery or two so that you don't run out of battery life and miss "the" shot. I always have 2 additional batteries that are fully charged in my case.

I "upgraded" to this camera from the SX30IS. Based on the reviews, I expected better speed and more artistic flexibility. I was wrong.First, the SX50HS's nighttime performance is far below that of the previous SX cameras, due to the so-called "upgrades." First, if you're using a shutter slower than 1 second, the camera takes away any ISO options and locks it on 100- Since I like to take a lot of SFX photos, that limitation sucks.Second, it has a hard time focusing at night- It can't seem to find anything in low-light situations and is constantly searching. The SX30IS is exceptional in this regard but the SX50HS sucks.Finally, the only option for night shooting is a "high speed burst" which combines several photos, similar to HDR. You have no option but a tripod with this and if anything moves in the shot, it's lost.The only remaining options are to toggle back and forth between manual and aperture priority till you find something useable.Zoom- incredible. Flip-out screen- marvelous. Daytime performance exceeds most DSLRs and can be operated with one hand.Quicktime video? WTF were they thinking? That sucks. Nobody uses that crap, Canon, get rid of it.I've had this camera over a month and have a love/hate relationship with it. I loved my previous SX30IS and I'm beginning to regret that I sold it to get the SX50IS.

I had been on the fence on buying a good camera to take with me on a study abroad trip overseas and this proved to be a great investment so far.What surprised me the most about this camera was the zoom which even had a pro photographer friend of mine pleasantly surprised by the quality at such distance. The WiFi integration worked smoothly, although I will say that if you have a Mac, there is no direct Camera-Mac link to be made but to me, it really does not matter since it's as easy as downloading from the Canon site or using the SD card.So far, battery life is pretty great. I've gone out downtown for an afternoon shooting and still had three battery indicators full by the end of the day.I am a college student looking to document my trip with great shots with this camera and so far it has not disappointed me! If you are looking for a step up but not ready to buy a $500+ camera, I would definitely recommend!

This camera is perfect for us - zoom, quick shutter, wifi enabled. HOWEVER, the instructions for getting it connected to the internet and then to your computer are a mess! For example, the instructions tell you to enter your authentication code. Hours of googling finally explained that the "MAC" # on the camera is the authentication code. How was I to know that?! Also, you need to download software from the canon site to make it connect to your computer but no where does it say where to go to download it. And the instructions read as though they were written in some other language and then "google translated" or something. I tried calling for help to the help line and he advised getting a USB cable to connect it to my computer.. HELLO! The wifi is this camera's big selling feature! I finally did manage to get it working and it is wonderful, but the trek to this point was a little arduous! Canon - just sit down and work on your instructions!

I bought this camera to replace my beloved, much-used Kodak z981. Like the SX50, it was a beyond-the-basics point and shoot camera, meaning that you can put it in Manual setting easily.My Kodak had about 26x zoom. The Canon has 50x zoom. And it is WORTH.EVERY.PENNY! I went to a lake outside town last night after work. Geese and duck species often can be found here. I was standing about 40 feet away from the shore and got outstanding photos of wood ducks, mallards, and Canada geese. The colors are true to life and the images are crisp and clear until you get ALLLLL the way zoomed out. I had to do minimal post-processing cleanup.WORD TO THE WISE, THOUGH: You have to flip open the back screen of the camera to know what you're shooting in a hurry! Coming from the Kodak, I was used to being able to aim as I moved without having to fiddle with the screen covering, and I missed an amazing shot of a heron yesterday because I forgot about the screen. Live and learn....but I'll never make that mistake again.

It worked fine for a while then it just stopped working. It was still under warranty so I contacted Canon's warranty people who told me to send it to them. I did - at my expense. They responded quickly that it would not be repaired. They said their "warranty" on their "lower end" cameras is not really for repair. What they do is take a similar camera off the shelf and send it to you. They do not repair the camera you sent and send it back. They said there is no guarantee that you will get the same camera model or one with the same features. When I pointed out that this seemed to fly in the face of their warranty they had no reasonable comment other than to say that I could certainly buy another camera.It's really too bad because I liked the camera and its features. Needless to say I will never buy another Canon.

I loved this little camera. Great features and photos. In first couple weeks had a problem--the screen regularly froze and camera turned off. Fortunately Amazon as always was great and I returned for another. After 6 months the zoom started wobbling. Sent it to Canon for repair. Got an email saying they didn't work on that part, I'd get a new or refurbished. I called to say i did not want a refurbished camera given that i'd already had problems with two of this model. Too bad they said, you're getting refurbished. I asked to talk to customer relations. Got a lady who told me it was in the warranty they could give me refurbished and furthermore they had no new ones to give--this is the CAnon facility mind you. I called back to try to talk to another rep--was told they couldln't transfer me. Then, when i said i was recording it, and told him i had been transferred last time, suddenly he now could transfer me. Back to initial rep who refused to let me talk to anyone else and refused to budge on sending a new camera, even though it was an option in the email. I wrote letters and emails to management. Got a response, said they'd send me a new camera after i said i had the whole thing on recording and was thinking of posting to youtube. but they wouldn't pay for me to ship the old one back. Anyway this story goes on and on, including me mailing the camera back and being told it actually WAS a new one and they were shipping the same camera back to me. Was a nightmare. I don't know if any of the other companies are better, but i've been a solid Canon customer for 20 years--as i told them--and I won't be anymore. They need to take lessons from Amazon on customer service. Hope this camera lasts awhile as I know now it won't get serviced properly without it being more trouble than it's worth.

For the money, this is definitely a 5 star camera. It performed really well.Things I liked about the camera:- Turns on and is ready to use in like two seconds, so it is easy to catch unpredictable shots at any moment.- Really great with low light! I was able to take some cool shots on indoor rides like "It's a small world" without a flash. Impressed.- Compact style, it is easy to hold and lightweight. The rubber grip is great too.- Auto focus is pretty smart, I took alot of clear shots.- Zoom abilities are really powerful. The separate lens really helps get some tight shots.- Inexpensive enough where it isn't the end of the world if it gets lost, stolen or broken during a vacation.- Holds a charge all day, I took about 300+ photos in one day and it worked great.- Uses a thin rechargeable battery - it is more convenient and lightweight than AA batteries.- Feels solid and well made/durable.- Takes quality photos! It did the job excellently for a point and shoot camera.

I had a great Canon PowerShot sx170 that I dropped and broke on my last trip. I was going to order the Canon Sx260 HS to replace it but ordered this one instead. It was okay but I had a few issues that made me return this item. First of all, the camera shell is plastic and seemed cheaply made. I felt that an occasional bump might break the camera easily. Secondly, the lens cap was separate and manually operated. On my old sx170 the camera autoclosed the lens cap when you turn off the camera. Thirdly, the flash does not pop up automatically. This is a pain for me. I don't like the shape of the camera either, the lens is so big and sticks out so far that it could not easily fit in a pocket. I ordered the Canon sx260 to replace this one. I think I will be happier with it although the sx260 doesn't have wifi like this one. I want it primarily for traveling and so these missing features are more important to me.

This is a great camera., The 50 x zoom really is the same as a 24mm to 1200mm lens costing Mega bucks. Don't misanderstand, it's not the quality of the $$$ 24-1200mm lens but it does a very nice job. Word a caution: Don't expect to take pix or video at full zoom without a tripod or way to stabilize the camera. At full zoom you WILL see camera shake if the camera is not stabilized with a tripod of some other means to steady the shot. But for home video/stills, this camera does a great job. I have many rigs from Canon 5d Mark 2 down to GX1 but this unit fits the bill for casual walk about use. Highly recommend. Only one minor downside, you'll need to purchase a seperate filter "Adapter" if you want to use filters. Standard filters that screw onto the camera are NOT supported without the adapter.Update: I just purchased the filter adapter for the SX-50 that also comes with three filters, a soft rubber (?) hood etc that works just great. Kit also included a new lens cap that is necessary as the adapetr allows 58mm filters (etc) to be used. I now leave the included 58mm UV filter on the camera to protect the lens.The Accessory Kit for CANON PowerShot SX50 HS Digital Camera - Includes: 58MM Lens Adapter Ring + Vivitar Filter Kit (UV, CPL, FLD) + Carry PouchSold by Digital Goja.

I am a casual user of a camera for taking travel and everyday photos. I bought this to replace my Canon Sureshot which broke (when I dropped it). Camera arrived as described and easy to use. I am still trying it figure out how to upload photos via WiFi but is somewhat a time consuming project. Camera takes great photos and offers flexibility from automatic setting to manual settings. Telephoto /zoom lens has exceeded my expectations. I am happy with my choice in selecting this camera. My previous Canon camera was user friendly and this seems consistent. I will figure out the WiFi upload of photos but in the meantime I can use the cable from my other camera to import photos to my computer. I recommend this camera for its price point, quality of photos, size, and flexibility of features.

I'm not a professional photographer. I simply like taking pictures and storing them on the computer.My previous camera was a Kodak Easyshare about eight years old, so this was a big step up in technology. Maybe most important, the pictures are very high resolution, clear, with excellent color. I haven't had the camera very long, so most of the pictures have been taken on "auto" or the sports setting. They're beautiful. The camera has a 50x zoom, and you need to be well-braced or use a tripod to keep the camera steady. If you do that, you get great pictures over a very long distance. The camera has a huge assortment of settings and features. It takes a lot of time to acquaint yourself with them, and there's no manual. You have to get it on-line and there are too many pages to print. A manual would have been a huge plus.If it's been a long time since you changed cameras, here's something you might keep in mind: I always used my all-in-one printer as the vehicle for getting my SD card read into my computer. It wouldn't do it with my new camera. At first I thought it might be the camera. Then I thought it might be the SD card. Then I read that my OS (XP) might not read the newer type of SD card. I ultimately found that it was the printer that couldn't read it. I put the SD card in an SD card reader and popped it into a USB port and it worked fine.Overall, I really like this camera. It's heavy enough to have some substance without being too heavy to handle. If you're going to use the 50x zoom (and why wouldn't you?) you should invest in a tripod.

I was so anxious to receive this camera, only to be completely disappointed. I have a Canon PowerShot SX260 HS, and I took pictures side by side and compared the two. The Canon PowerShot SX260 HS took much better photos. The SX 510 had too much noise. Even in the lower ISO setting. Maybe i didn't set it up right, i don't know. All i know is that my Canon PowerShot SX260 HS was alot better, and I've never had to do anything to it but just "Point and Shoot". The SX 510 had blurry photos indoors. It just wasn't right. I wish i was one of those people that got the good camera. Maybe it was a lemon. Don't know. I sure don't feel like giving it another shot. =(

I bought the Canon PowerShot SX20 IS, the forerunner to this one, to take on an Africa photo safari about 4 years ago. Terrific results!! It has a 20x optical lens, and for several long range shots I used the digital magnification out to 50x without running into grainy photos. It uses AA batteries which proved essential when the batteries needed to be changed "out in the bush."Was thinking I'd upgrade to this one, but reading up on the specs leads me to conclude that Canon has taken two big backward steps: this one has no viewfinder which is critical to finding and photographing the lion at 800 yards! And going to a rechargeable battery vs AA batteries was the wrong thing to do with this type of camera. Yes, you could buy a spare rechargeable battery, but I had total confidence in carrying two sets of fresh AA batteries into the bush. I'll stick with my SX20.

This has to be the worst experience I have had with Amazon. I ordered this camera - and before I even received it (2 day shipping) I got an email that told me it was defective. I now need to return it to Canon so they can fix it - and this of course will be at my time and expense. Who knows when I will get it back. Really disappointed with you Amazon and Canon - not impressed at all. Haven't even had the chance to try the darned thing.Here is some of the text from the recall for others to see:The rubber part of the viewfinder on some PowerShot SX50 HS compact digital cameras produced in certain lots from September 1 through November 15, 2013 may turn white after a short period of time. We have determined after inquiry with the rubber manufacturer and internal analysis that the white substance is zinc bis (N,N’- dimethyldithiocarbamate).... and ...As a precautionary measure, thoroughly wash your hands and rinse your eyes with water if they have come into contact with the rubber part of a viewfinder that has turned white. If any medical symptoms develop, please consult your physician immediately.

The wifi on this camera does not work with the current OS X 10.9 (Maverick) operating system on your computer! Would have been really nice to know that before we spent money on a camera that does not come with a cord for plug in uploading. Our house has 2 Apple notebooks and one iMac laptop and home wifi, but we can't upload our pics. It seems to take good pics, but the test will be if/when we can upload and see the enlarged pics on a computer. Very frustrating! Canon customer service tells me that the camera will upload to iPhones and iPads, but I keep my pics on my computer. They also say it will be an estimated 4 months before Canon will get their software updated to Maverick.Update: I found a cable that fit and uploaded the first 66 pics we took over Thanksgiving. Posed, still shots look great. Candid shots are blurry. And we are not novice photographers. My last two cameras have been Panasonic Lumix which were great... for awhile, then began losing sharp focus. We purchased this camera after reading a lot of reviews online, and because our daughter has an amazing Canon PowerShot (but has very little zoom). We thought we'd found the perfect camera. But we are sadly disappointed with this camera purchase!

Canon is out for only the almighty buck and tries to screw its customers to make a few extra shillings - here's the evidence:A few days over a year after we bought this camera, it was on a tripod and blown over by a gust of wind. It fell on the grass lens-first and would not power on thereafter.We took it to a local, highly-reputable camera repair where they quickly diagnosed that the "lens gear assembly" was jammed and needed to be replaced, a simple matter for them to do EXCEPT that Canon refused to sell them the replacement part (at any price) and told them we had to send the camera (at our expense of $18 including insurance) to the Factory Service Center for "refurbishment".We did as instructed and received an email telling us the camera could not be repaired and that Canon would sell us a refurbished model for $350. The brand new camera is available now on this site for $325. I called to ask if the pricing information was correct that a used camera was being offered to us at higher price than I could pay for a brand new one - the answer was yes, that's how it is.Needless to say, we are looking for non-Canon replacement options and this will be the last Canon product we have ever owned.

Haven't exactly got it all figured out yet, they put way too much stuff in there. A lot of functions and adjustments that 90% of photographers will never use. But, that's true of just about all cameras these days. I got about everything I was looking for. Wanted super zoom (got that). Wanted good resolution, image quality and focus at high zoom settings (got that). Wanted these features without the expense of a high quality SLR and a long telephoto lens (got that). However, Canon should have known that the arrangement and locations of the various buttons are inconvenietly located. Also they are so sensitive to the touch that it's difficult to handle the camera without activating some unintended function.

m19Q8I5W4YD1T / mo9O4WT4N76ZW9 Length:: 2:08 MinsUnfortunately, Amazon's max. video capacity is 100MB, SO...to see the real quality of my camera's zoom power in HD, see:[...]An interesting point about the digital zoom is that the video has much better resolution at 51-200x than still photos. The image stabilization is also a great help when taking photos at high zoom.While the zoom is unbeatable for a camera in this class, there are other features that could be improved upon. The macro focus distance is rather far in comparison with other point and shoot cameras. It didn't come close to the really up-close focusing of my old Olympus.Also, it is lacking a built in panorama mode. Panorama photos must be montaged using the software provided with the camera.My only other disappointment was that the Sport Scene mode and the high burst shooting modes make the screen go black while shooting each pic. This means that you are unable to follow your fast moving subject, thus negating the function. How are you supposed to follow a fast moving object if your viewfinder goes black with each shot?Other than these minor qualms, the SX 50 takes some stunning photos especially from far away!I would recommend this camera to anyone who doesn't want the hassle of a DSLR but still wants high quality photos.

There was a link to the Canon website:[...]From the email link:PhenomenonThe rubber part of the viewfinder on some PowerShot SX50 HS compact digital cameras produced in certain lots from September 1 through November 15, 2013 may turn white after a short period of time.

The zoom on this thing is just insane! We just came back from our last visit to Hawaii, and we were shooting freaking whales breaching FROM OUR HOTEL ROOM! I would say they were at least a mile out, maybe 2.I still stand behind my reservations about the manufacturing defect (hence the 4 stars instead of 5), but is it worth the risk? The answer is "Yes, it is!"It did take about a week and a half to get our replacement camera directly from Canon.

Within the first week you own this camera you will take a picture of the moon. You'll show your friend and tell them you took the picture with your camera, handheld, with no tripod, and you'll all be staring in disbelief. At least one of your friends will buy the camera as a result.Superzoom - that's what this camera is all about. It's a high end point and shoot for people who do not quite want an SLR. I have use this to shoot high school football and I can capture up-close shots of the action from high in the stands. The lens is slow for night shooting at games, but the high ISO is very good and the image stabilization helps a bunch. Picture under stadium lights of the team in the huddle are perfect and sharp, action pictures are hit and miss. It exceeds my expectations for this price and technology. Keep in mind a HS football game is not as well lit as a professional stadium, so this is a pretty difficult shooting environment.I will also use it to shoot auto racing and wildlife where the zoom will be utilized and it will generally be daylight, so I expect excellent results.I've been using the Canon S1,3,5 line of cameras for many years and I like the image quality and controls of Canon cameras. I took this upgrade for the zoom, but I also like that the high ISO shooting is greatly improved over my S5.

I do not shoot photos often. But when I do during travel and vacation times, I take lots of pictures of all varieties--from wide angle to long-distance telephotos, under all kinds of conditions.I have been impressed by how much faster this camera is as compared to Canon's earlier SX35, which I have used for several years. I have not yet spent the time I should reading the owner's manual. But most of the settings are intuitive and the results are almost always satisfying enough to impress most who see the images the camera generates.In the past I often missed photo-opportunities with my Canon SLR digital camera due to changing lenses and recalling how the thing worked. Now the only shots I miss are due to the brief time-lapse needed between shots to write the image to the SD card.

Don't get me wrong. I am not maven when it comes to cameras. I have several and rejected Canon a few years back because I thought it was for experts and have a huge learning curve. Well, I was wrong! I have a 25X Panasonic SLR and the zoom of this 30x cannot compare with the 25X. Even without doing a full Zoom the Canon has such a greater capable ZOOM it is amazing. At 30X full out it is like having a telescopic lens!The controls are easy. I am learning the ones I'm going to use (limited for the camera fan but my brain won't hold all the settings) ALSO, this camera besides outdoing my Panasonic SLR 25X is 1/2 the weight! I got a harness for the SLR but with this little Canon Gem I don't need it because it isn't any heavier than a point and shoot but so much more capable.I think I agree with the reviewer that said the aftermarket batteries last longer than the Canon batteries that came with the camera. I bought the set, also because I don't want to miss a shot.Hurray! am I a happy camper with this camera.

I've had this camera for about 2 weeks and so far, I'm REALLY sorry I bought it. Apparently you must have a PhD in order to connect it to WiFi- I have been trying to do this for 2 days now with no luck. It won't work with internet, it won't work to simply connect it up with a computer. I have no way of getting to any of my pictures to print them. Seriously. I'm so sorry I bought this thing. If someone has advice, I'd love to know it. Customer service is about to get a phone call from us and an ear full. I hope we can return it.

There was a party and at least ten non-professional cameras and now when I am sharing the photos with my friends I can see this camera has the worse quality, zoom, color distinction,.... at least while in-door. That was a shock! I went back and checked my old photos from 10 years ago and unbelievable this camera gives the lowest quality photos!! I am so frustrated as just noticed the one month return window is passed otherwise I would have returned it for sure.I tried different setting, lighting,.... but no hope.....I have not used it in natural light but come-on even iphone camera is good in natural light!I still can not believe Canon produced such a failure!!!

Let me be honest. I originally wanted the Panasonic FZ200. But the price skyrocketed over $100 in a couple of weeks. I honestly could not justify spending well over $500 for a bridge camera, although the f2.8 aperture over the entire zoom was screaming for me to get it. The Canon SX50 was my second choice, mainly for its insane 50x zoom. I picked it up for $369. Low light shooting and long reach have always been big draws, along with photo quality for me as a wildlife enthusiast. Turns out that this camera isn't too bad in low light either, although the trade off is higher ISO and grainier shots. Sure, I've had several DSLR's and I carried large lenses around for years. I finally got tired of all that bulk and decided to accept the trade off in a smaller sensor and photo quality. I'm not a professional and don't require full sensor quality. I opted for the SX50 based on pretty darned good reviews and the crazy long reach of the lens. Based on the many test shots I've taken both indoors and out, I am very happy with the performance of this camera! I may not have the critical expectations of a professional reviewer, but I know what I like and this bridge camera satisfies. Photo quality is very good and the 50x (200x digital) reach is incredible! That reach will bring that bird or coyote in the distance up close and personal. Also, remember that any camera is only as good as the photographer. If you don't know how to use a camera to its full potential, don't blame the camera! The SX50 is the best sub-DSLR camera I've owned to date and it serves my purposes quite well.

We are very pleased with this camera--I would give it 5 stars, but just started using it and have not gone through many of its technical options like shooting in low light etc.It has a superb optical zoom capability and is takes sharp, clear pictures. Great to handle.Couple of negatives--nothing to do with the camera itself. 1) It does not come with a carrier case, so you have to find and pay for one. 2) The lens does not recess, so it is a bit awkward to fit into a carry-bag which means you have to lug it around and 3) I wish they had an attachment for a wide angle lens.

No viewfinder and it would be nice if a manual were included (easy enough to download but paper one would make reference easier on the go).Other than that, I can't find much of anything to complain about.Takes beautiful pictures, remarkable video, layout of settings/ controls is intuitive and easy to use.LCD is nice, bright but as expected difficult to see in bright sun.Camera is small and very lightweight which I find is a plus.Zoom lens quality may be somewhat lacking for seasoned pros (some chromatic aberations) but I find it extremely useful and certainly high enough standards/ quality for my use ... and the camrea is well made overall.It's a great camera and fully automatic so easy to use. Manual settings are there if you want to override the auto settings but auto really does a nice job. CMOS sensor produces very nice clear photos, especially at lower ISO settings (400 or less).I'd recommend this camera for anyone wanting a lightweight, easy to use camera that produces quality photos. Wonderful for people on the go.

I never had the lens get stuck so many times, Canon replaced the whole camera once and the second time they wanted to charge full price.They DO NOT repair them but replace them completely.Why build something that you can never repair?!My guess is something is stuck behind the lens enclosure, whether its sand or something else.From what I've read they glue on the Lens!I previously owned an SX 30 which I was really happy with and had not even one Lens Error.I thought the SX 50 would be a great step up, apparently not.I am not happy now that I have a pretty much dead camera, at least when it was working it took good photos.Was good for a year but I would avoid this camera its no substitute for a good DSLR with interchangeable lenses.For the investment spending another hundred or two hundred is worth it if your a serious about your photography.And...Glue?!

I have a really good Nikon, but I wanted something to carry around with me all the time and was sick of crappy smartphone pics. I researched heavily before I chose this camera and I haven't been disappointed. First the pros: pretty good design with nice hand-feel, but I wish it came with a wrist strap. The flash doesn't pop up automatically, which for me is a pro because I often prefer the light effect with no flash, but if this concerns you, not to worry, it does let you know when it would prefer to use the flash. The recording feature with HDMI video is a nice feature which I have frequently used. you can also snap pics while recording, but you should note that it does pause the video for a second with a still shot. The zoom can't be beat. When you are zoomed all the way out you will need a tripod or at the least, have the camera sitting on something, but the shots I got of the moon are unreal. The pics in general come out beautiful. Fantastic color and richness. The option for grouping shots on action mode is also nice. My biggest con of this camera is that some features are buried in menus making them cumbersome to access. Also, I wish it was more obvious when you are looking through your shots what is video and what is a pic. More than once, I've been going too fast and deleted something that I thought was a pic, when it was a video. (note that there is a notation over the pic, but if you are not paying close enough attention you can easily miss it). Overall, I would highly recommend this camera for either a solid camera if this is your only one, or an excellent in-between camera to pair with your more expensive one.

This is a game changer for the camera world! I almost got the top competitor, with a 42x, but found four independent reviews between this and the competitor and the Canon won all four. There's no cell phone in the world that can come close to doing what this does. Any DSLR would need a massively expensive lens to match what this 50mm can reach and you wouldn't want to hike with it! I love everything about it! I could go on and on echoing the positive reviews and features, and countering the negative ones with stuff like, "there's a fix for that, just move your thumb." Make sure you get an extra battery for it - it's easy to get carried away shooting! The "Case Logic DCB-304 Compact System/Hybrid Camera Case" is a perfect fit.

I have to tell you I spent a lot of time reviewing cameras before I actually pulled the trigger. I read review after review after review, describing features and benefits, likes and dislikes of almost every similarly priced camera of almost every make and model. My wife and I are about to have our first and second child and were looking for a decently priced camera that would suite our needs, such as low light and random movement often experienced by children. Based off of the reviews by both customers and c-net and the like I decided on this model.There are only a few pictures through it so far, but y wife is extremely satisfied so far. The pictures are crisp and clear, the functions are easy to operate, and the Wi-Fi is really convenient. I have taken pictures of our dogs both in and out of the house, squirrels running around outside, and everything that has come out of it has been wonderful.Overall I am extremely happy that I chose this camera. I really do not think I could have done better, especially for the price.

I have several other very nice Canon Cameras-they are wonderful. The shutter speed on each is fast and I hardly ever miss a picture, but with this camera, the shutter is slow and I miss many great pictures. I HATE IT and wish a million times I hadn't purchased this camera. The zoom is really nice and that is about all there is to it. I just don't like it. I was and had been wanting a smaller nice camera that wasn't large in size that would take excellent fast picture. A few pictuers do turn out nice, but just every once in a while. I wish I had purchased another brand. Too late now and I am stuck with it, which looks nice sitting on the shelf.

Just got back from Holland Tulip festival and Italy. Loved the results! But I mostly used it on Auto because I haven't figured out all of the options yet. I'd like to have more manual control, but it's a big learning curve to remember which setting does what and how many screens do I have to get through to find the setting. Beyond that, it's light weight, very easy to use in Auto setting, and 99% of shots are clear and great. Spoiler Alert: if you don't know how to set up or frame a shot you still won't like your pics. Remember lighting and staging count. Try to be aware of things like trees growing out of heads :-P

Ok really a camera for almost $400 dollars and no USB cord? what's up with that! Really folks giving this camera all the praise for what? Just because it is the most powerful zoom lense for point and shot camera on the market. It can take a clear detailed focused picture of a knats ass at 100 yards. Has a super powerful processor with Canons latest technology same used in higher end canon DSLR camera's quick autofocus through out the zoom lenses range. Great low light abilities unless you want to stay up all night taking a long exposure shot of the moon. Raw format available too. Made in Japan hello! This is really a great camera!!!. The one star is only because no USB cord is supplied with camera kit. You can take professional photos with this camera but It don't do you any good if you kan't download it to your computer or printer.

Don't get me wrong I would take the t3i over this any day. But if you are a budget filmer or budget photographer. This camera will do.It's lightweight, it's compact, and it takes killer video and photos.If I would say one bad thing about it I would say how it does not have a way to plug in an external mic. I am taking videos on this camera and the built in mic is pretty bad. I would love if there was a way to plug in an external mic. But hey, thats what you're going to get for a 200$ camera right.

I moved up to this camera from a $100-level Canon. I like that the controls and instructions are similar. Also I love how lightweight it is -- it does not have AA batteries where the "hump" is -- everything runs off one Lithium battery, saving weight. My main disappointment is that is it not shockingly sharper than the cheaper Canon. But it DOES zoom a lot during both stills AND MOVIES, so those are big pluses. So all in all , quite satisfied, but not blown-away by the photos it takes.

Got camera as gift for wife for Christmas, before wrapping it up checked it out, so she wouldn't get a defective gift. Camera works great, does everything as advertised, couldn't be happier. Then I started looking for the FREE memory card that was supposed to be included when I purchased this camera from Amazon. It wasn't there, checked invoice, no memory card listed. Just went back to my order on the website to check and see if I read it wrong. Nope, this is what it says just below the description of camera "Free SanDisk 16 GB Memory Card and Case, Free SanDisk 16 GB memory card and case when you buy this camera from Amazon.com.Shop now". Nowhere does it say to click here to add Memory card to order, so this time I clicked on the card which took me to another page where I had to select the camera and still the memory card is $12. I'm sorry $12 is not free, unless something is done at checkout. Just disappointed in the deceptive way this is advertised to include a free Memory card by Amazon website.

I am a novice photographer. If you can even call me that, but I am having a wonderful time with my Canon PowerShot SX510 HS 12.1 MP CMOS Digital Camera. I can take a picture of my flowers and see a water droplet nesting in the deepest recesses of them. My Moonstone Rose is beautiful. I wish I could attach a picture to prove what I am saying.The reviews mentioned some distortion when using the 30x Optical Zoom. For the novice....I can't see it.This Camera is great for me

We have just acquired the SX50 after losing our older SX20 to the TSA at Logan Airport. I haven't had a chance to put it through any paces but expecting it to be similar to the older camera. It is quite bit more compact. 50X will be amazing, 20X at the time was amazing. Didn't come with USB cable or SD card, which might have added $10 for Canon. And missed the warning (if there was one) that you were going to need to order those items separately. A 4GB card will hold/take 1000 pictures. Just ordered two 16GB high speed cards to see if the picture taking speeds up. Some concerns about low light shooting, but don't do much of that. I liked the (4) AA batteries the old one used for convenience, after discovering the Sanyo eneloops. But our experience with LI in other devices has been excellent so not too worried. The price is maybe $150 less than the earlier version and reviews have it performing better than the SX40 in most regards.

I was so excited to buy this camera since I've always been a fan of Canon products. I am not a professional photographer but do use a camera weekly for various projects around the house and also on vacations. Everything worked fine until one day, two months into my ownership, the camera would no longer download pictures to my computer. I contacted Canon and they had me send it to them for repair. Yesterday I received an email informing me that they cannot repair my camera and would be replacing it with either a new or refurbished camera. In early December, I paid over $200 for my camera and I certainly expect a new camera from Canon. I'll update this review when the situation with Canon is resolved. Until then, my rating stays as is.

After a couple of months of searching and researching I settled on the SX50, apart from the 50x digital zoom, the competitive price played a major role in making this decision.I happen to be traveling through an international airport and I saw it in the duty free at 805$ (!!!), Best Buy price is 429$ so you can see how this had a major influence on my decision.to start with the most negative part which made me give it 4 instead of 5 stars: I have to pop the flash manually, I was surprised that a camera of this caliber has a manual flash not automatic since I can control it through the camera software.Although I read several reviews on Amazon before I purchased it non of them mentioned that.Other than that I would have given it 5 stars, the camera snaps great shots, and I used it while attending the Indianapolis MotoGP race a couple of weeks ago in sport mode where it snaps several shots then you can pick the most beautiful ones.If you are like me; fed up with point & shoot tiny cameras and its time for changing your 2-3 years old one with something more professional and not willing to pay more than 500$ (that was my budget), not willing to go into changing lenses to shoot a few shots now and then, and you can live with the fact that you have to pop the flash manually when needed (the camera will ask you do so if needed) this is the camera of choice.I hope this helps.

My main camera is a Nikon D7000 which I love but is for some reason getting heavier as I get older! I wanted a camera that was light weight, flexible and produced good pictures. I read a number of positive reports about it on my photography forum and decided to give it a try. Wow! I love it! It goes with me everywhere for 90% of my picture taking. It is light, easy to use and has terrific zoom capabilities at 50X. I still use my favorite D7000 but mostly at home or where I don't have to have it hanging around my neck for hours on end. I highly recommend it!

I needed a small camera able to zoom long distances that could also take shots in low light. The higher quality CMOS sensor made a difference in my buying decision, and makes a HUGE difference in picture quality. The camera it was replacing has a better lens, but really cheap sensor, and even in full daylight couldn't get a clear picture if there was any movement in the frame. This camera takes clear pictures even when I am all the way through the optical and into the digital zoom ranges.

I searched around for the right camera and I found what i was looking for. At first I wanted one I could put in my pocket or small purse. This IS NOT that kind of camera. This is truly a mini version of a DSLR. However it was pretty darn compact but I still had to put it in a camera case and carry it around my shoulder. The pictures it took were fabulous and I LOVE the fact I could put my pictures right onto my Ipad without Wifi. I haven't set it up for my computer yet...but the help desk was so nice and walked me through the Ipad set up so I didn't even have to worry about figuring out the directions.
