The Canon SX50 has attracted plenty of attention with its 50x zoom lens, and sometimes a touch of concern (notably about the stabilisation). With test shots from the Canon SX50 HS now online, you can head over to our Face-Off for a first impression of this camera's performances.
We've all been wondering what image quality will be like in a camera with a 50x zoom—especially since the Canon PowerShot SX50 HS is no bigger in size than a standard bridge camera. Can it keep image quality consistent, with good levels of sharpness at wide-angle and telephoto settings, and both in the centre of the frame and around the edges? It's a tall order.
Ahead of our full review, you can get an idea of how the SX50 performs from the test shots in our camera Face-Off. Try comparing the Canon SX50 with Panasonic's recent and excellent FZ200, the Sony HX200V and Canon's previous model, the SX40.
You may also want to compare the SX50's ISO test results with those of the SX40. Progress isn't all that striking, even if the SX50 seems to smooth images a little less at high-sensitivity settings.
Stay tuned for our full review of the Canon PowerShot SX50 HS, coming soon.
