Customer Review

A week already photographed with the SX50 HS. General views (city, country, etc): Excellent sharpness and color. Both at 100 ISO and at 400 ISO. Thanks to the wide angle (approximately 24mm) very well indoors use.

Close: class, so never achieved results! Recordings easily doable at Focal Length 1,200mm (!). Premium autofocus and excellent image stabilizer together ensure that even a 1/400 sec not verreißt. The rarely achievable prospect of 1.200mm Teles is alone a sensation! In this focal length is obtained a magnification ratio of about 5: 1 at a distance of 1.5 meters. That is, you have a 5-fold magnification when you look at the image at 100% size! The sharpness is very good. Yet I am still a little with SilkyPix.

Remote Shooting: The 1200mm telephoto end is sharp! However athmosphärisches fibrillation reduces naturally strong image quality. Knowing this you just put the lens up only in clear air a. Contrast is slightly lower than at shorter focal lengths, but in the post-processing is easy to correct. I held out a contrail before fun. Altitude of 11,000 m. The picture shows a machine of Air France is then clearly and sharply visible. This is something I've never experienced. Incidentally, for 1.200mm relative aperture of 1: 6.5 and a superlative, you do not get with a stationary 1.200mm never in my life.

What you should do in principle and what is a basic condition for good results with the SX50 HS:

Always work in RAW format. Always adjust aperture priority (Av) and select Always open aperture (smallest f-number =, for example, 3.4). If possible, adjust ISO 80-100, but ISO 400 is also good for indoor shots.

The SX50 HS is very useful for travel photography, macro photography, landscape, wildlife photography, portrait, product shots. Less suitable it is for all tasks that require a fast image sequence. A unique feature is the Tele. There is a secret (especially because it comes from CANON and therefore really works). Animal and bird photographers get with their wickedly expensive equipment (and sauschwer they are still) never as many good results as a small way with this camera!

What is not so great: A bunch of buttons and knobs on the back, to which one is constantly unintentionally. That's unnecessary bad solved, but the camera is indeed obviously designed for children's hands. Unfortunately, always make all Japanese in the low price segment. Expensive cameras can handle properly cheap must always be super-mini with all the resulting disadvantages. But that's the only criticism. And if you otherwise want a great camera, you have to live with it halt. Maybe yes times provides a firmware update on that allows you some control (such as the video start button) can paralyze.
