Canon SX50 HS Paowershot - a worthwhile purchase

Ordering and delivery took place as usual simple and short; the reception took place but with skepticism because the package was severely damaged. Thanks to the padding inside the packaging of the camera, however, was fine.

After a week with hundreds of photographs I am with the results more than satisfied over-witness quality and sharpness of the images, through the entire zoom range. Thanks to the optical image stabilizer it is possible to use anti-shake to telephoto to the upper limit of the hand. In practice, the key has proved its worth to zoom out, if I. The object at max Zoom have lost sight and had to aim at again. The quality of the videos is convincing.

However, the electronic viewfinder holds no comparison with an SLR and must be considered as last resort but if I am referring to the expected result, I can live without that. The fact that the image processing takes longer than that of a SLR, I accepted when weighing and resigned myself to.

The dial on the rear panel is a little too delicate and needs to be sensitively operated with your fingertips. / Delete frame button overlying AF frame selection is not quite as low in my opinion and is pushed now and then inadvertently by the thumb.

The handbook there are unfortunately only on the supplied CD, which must first be downloaded and / or printed on 280 pages.

Conclusion: The Canon PowerShot SX50 HS is a camera that is worth its price - just recommended.
