My new Canon SX50 - a few photos

After asking all the members on UHH to give me input on a new "super zoom" or "bridge" camera purchase, I wanted to share a few photos from my new Canon SX50. These photos were taken in downtown Richmond, VA. They were not carefully composed, but simply shot out of my car window. It was one of the first days I had my camera and I was simply playing with the zoom and auto focus. So far, I love the camera. Very little shutter lag and easy to use. It was quite helpful to be able to download the full user manual before I even purchased the camera, as this helped me to be vaguely familiar with some of the features.

This last photo was taken at full optical zoom while sitting in the stands of a football stadium. I just zoomed and pressed the shutter. Not too bad for an amateur!

Thank you again for everyone's help. I could not be happier with my camera!

Glad to hear they worked on the shutter delay problem. Canon makes a good camera, the pix sure show photographer ability as well.

I am a happy user of a SX40, and will receive a SX50 next week. While satisfied with the 40's general performance, as an avid amateur wildlife photographer I have high hopes on the new camera.
Before the SX40 I had a Lumix FZ40, and for long distance shots this Lumix's had no general performance to talk about, just a colonel performance at it's best. (This last paragraph intends to be a joke, eh?)

Hi Tarzan - would like to see some photos of the Brazil wild taken with your SX50 - and please put the approximate distant of the photo taken. Thank you. We've already seen the works of the SX40 and they are fantastic including these here - now for the SX50!!
