The perfect bridge between compact and SLR

After five years a digital compact camera from Canon was allowed to call my own, I found it was time for something new. Since I was very happy with my old Canon PowerShot A720 IS, there is a model of Canon should be natural again.
On the one hand, of course, has an SLR à la EOS already her charms. The many manual settings can quite overwhelm a simple amateur photographers as well. Compact cameras à la IXUS or PowerShot on the other side offer good image quality at your fingertips, because they are automatically set to the scene being photographed. However, most models are so compact that although they easily fit in your pocket, but it can no longer hold so stable in your hand. Especially good handling with the handle on the right side I liked very well with my old Powershot.
So I finally stopped in the PowerShot SX50 HS in my search. This so-called bridge camera combines features of SLR and compact cameras. She has a shape similar to an SLR and lies comfortably in your hand and it automatically adjusts to a button on the scene as a compact camera.

In addition, the SX50 HS also offers lots of great features.
The absolute highlight is of course the 50-times optical zoom, which is currently unrivaled in the camera market. Thus objects to be photographed, the mere 1 ° viewing angle make (By comparison, the full moon has an apparent diameter of about 0.5 °). With the additional digital zoom to reach an up to 200-times magnification, with which one can even take pictures individual craters on the lunar surface.
The camera can be video in Full HD quality record and play back via the HDMI output on the domestic flat-panel televisions. Optical zoom during filming is easy with the fast motor and you hear no disturbing noises on the video. In addition, can still take pictures during filming.
The camera detects a very large number of scenes automatically and automatically adjusts shooting settings to match. Faces of people can be in the camera store and are automatically detected and placed preferably sharp. Fast movements can be hold in all the details or a video in slow motion with the help of high-speed continuous shooting. Numerous creative filters allow those special moments even better or brand new play to the gallery. If that still is not enough, one of the three manual modes can use the recording settings according to their own ideas to adapt. And thanks to the digital viewfinder and the rotatable display will always keep the overview.

I am excited about this camera. Never before has photography and filming more fun than with the Canon PowerShot SX50 HS.
