I've had no less than 10 Olympuses, as well as 6 Canons, 2 Sonys, 1 Fujifilm and 0 Nikons, and I can unequivocally tell you from first hand experience that Olympuses ARE TACK SHARP. In this class of camera, I'm not saying that Canons aren't tack sharp either, I am saying that I've never had a single issue with any of my Olympuses (nor Sonys, for that matter), but have had niggling little problems with the Canons. Having said that, the SX50 is a proven winner! It's simply a great camera in its own right, so just know you can't go wrong with it either. My friends who've had Nikons in this class have had several problems, which is why I've steered clear. My recommendation is get the best Olympus you can afford and go use it a lot. They are very fun and extraordinary cameras.
