Canon Powershot SX50 HS Camera

By Bryan Oliver


Camera business enjoy 'globe's best' tags, no matter whether they genuinely are 'globe's best' or merely most significant, tiniest, lengthiest, widest, quickest, smartest ... or whackiest!

Nevertheless, it's tough to neglect Canon and its description of the PowerShot SX50 HS as having the 'world's largest optical zoom variety in a compact camera.' Just because, at time of composing, it is!

Consider it by doing this: if you possessed a 35mm SLR movie camera, would not you simply like to clip on a zoom lens that varied from an enjoyably broad 24mm to a fearfully long 1200mm? I know I would!

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

In reality, the new Canon Powershot SX50 HS compact weighs simply a little over half a kilo and is no larger than a lot of compacts. Not pocketable however easy to hold, this brand-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 many recent cameras, at 7.1 cm and has lower resolution. Nevertheless, there is the turret viewfinder which is optimal for bright light shooting. I discovered it helpful, to a particular degree, quite low in resolution but useful in pointing the camera!

The camera feels excellent in the hand and is well-balanced; you might run it solely with the right-hand man with the lens at complete wide ... if you needed to!

Leading 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 famous rate grip; back a bit is the on/off button and mode dial where can be discovered positions for car, Program AE, aperture and shutter priority, scene modes, custom settings etc

. At rear: a shortcut button is at far left ... this provides two avenues to designate a feature; to the right is replay, the four method rocker to gain access to macro, timer, ISO setting and exposure settlement; lesser is a button for the show choices, including access to the turret finder and then the menu button.

There are 2 front mounted framing assist buttons which will considerably help the use of the long zoom: if you're focused at any distance, the button temporarily whizzes the zoom back to complete wide to let you understand where you are, with a white summary showing where you were (in tele)!
