Canon Powershot SX50 HS Camera

By Bryan Oliver


Camera companies adore 'world's top' tags, no matter whether they genuinely are 'globe's top' or simply greatest, smallest, lengthiest, widest, quickest, smartest ... or whackiest!

Nevertheless, it's difficult to disregard Canon and its description of the PowerShot SX50 HS as possessing the 'globe's biggest optical zoom array in a compact camera.' Simply because, at time of composing, it is!

Consider it this way: if you possessed a 35mm SLR movie camera, wouldn't you just like to clip on a zoom lens that ranged from an enjoyably wide 24mm to a fearfully long 1200mm? I understand I would!

But, get real, and theorise about the physical practicality of such a 35mm film lens! It would weigh a ton, stick far out from the camera and most likely constitute a wind danger! And forget handholding it.

In reality, the brand-new Canon Powershot SX50 HS compact weighs just a little over half a kilo and is no larger than the majority of compacts. Not pocketable however easy to carry, this new maxi zoom camera looks no larger than Canon's first long zoom compact, the SX30 of 2 years back.

First off, you notice that the tiltable LCD screen is a little larger than lots of recent cameras, at 7.1 cm and has lower resolution. Nonetheless, there is the turret viewfinder which is ideal for bright light shooting. I discovered it useful, to a specific degree, quite reduced in resolution however handy in pointing the camera!

The camera feels good in the hand and is well-balanced; you could operate it solely with the right hand with the lens at full large ... if you needed to!

Top deck: at left is the button to launch the flash; to the right are the shutter button and zoom lever sited on top of the popular rate grip; back a bit is the on/off button and mode dial where can be discovered positions for automobile, Program AE, aperture and shutter priority, scene modes, customized settings etc

. At back: a shortcut button goes to far left ... this gives two opportunities to appoint a function; to the right is replay, the four way rocker to access macro, timer, ISO setup and exposure compensation; lower is a button for the display options, including access to the turret finder and then the menu button.

There are two front mounted framework assist buttons which will significantly assist using the long zoom: if you're focused at any distance, the button temporarily whizzes the zoom back to full wide to let you understand where you are, with a white summary showing where you were (in tele)!
