Just Curious...
How Many SX-50 Owners have had their SX-50 Die on them & Couldn't Get the Model Repaired Due to Lack of, or No Parts Available?
How Many Out There?

Mine Happens when I Push the DISC BUTTON, it will Go Dark!
In that Case the Viewfinder Screen Goes Dark when you Push Disc Button by Accident, these are the Problems...
1. The Fold Up Screen is Not Folded Out & Everything You View is in the Viewfinder.
2. SX-50 Owners will Accidently Push the Disc Button Under the Round Wheel Function (There's 3, the Outer Round Wheel Type Function, the Small Center Button, that Says Function Set, & the Center Button In Between that has the Symbols.)
If you Accidently Push the Disc Button & the Screen Goes Black while the Flip Out Screen is Out, then Mess with the Upper Left Button that Says "S" in the Square Box W/Small Arrow on Left Side of View Finder, & Also Mess with Disc Button & Next To That the Menu Button Next to the Disc Button, the Screen Will come back On.
& Download the Full Manual from Canon Regarding the SX-50, for Trouble Shooting, or the Disc it Came with if you Still have it when you Bought the Camera.

I have Heard this Story about the SD Cards, Regarding Reuse, Format, & Images Lost Several Times on UHH In the Last Couple of Years & I have Told My Issues!
I Don't Reuse My Cards, Once they Fill Up I Store them Until I'm Ready to Transfer to Flash Drive or Storage Drive, I Keep them as Master Copies.
I Lock Them After I Fill Up the Card so I don't Accidentally Erase Images.
I Keep them in the Plastic Storage Case that Most Came With. Or a Plastic Box.
I Don't Buy Anymore Cheap A@# Fly by Night Cards that are On Sale at Electronic Fry's, or at a Flea Market, Etc,
I Use San Disk, PNY, Sony, & the Now Defunct Lexar & Kodak when they Made SD Cards.
I Read the Postings Regarding SD Cards & Take these Matter Very Serious, & Take Advice here on UHH.
Keep these SD Cars Stories Coming.

Card readers can be very finicky. Sometimes mine works and sometimes it doesn’t. I also have Windows 10.
However (stupid me) I recently realized that my laptop of 4 years has a slot on the left side edge that has a SD slot. I now use that and it works every time.
Maybe your PC has a SD slot?

It's a Problem...
I do some Photo Work for a Friend of Mine who Works for the Boy Scouts, & a Co Worker has a Card Reader which wouldn't Work on the Computer, By Mine did on the Same Computer, I don't know if her Card Reader was Outdated, or it was the Computers, & what I Heard the Computers in the Local Scouting Office were From the G.W. Bush Era.
You Figure.

Phone camera's still cannot do everything that can be done with a digital DSLR. PERIOD.
Do these High-End Camera Phones Have Creative Filters Like Fish Eye, Miniature, HDR, Vivid, Color Accent, Where you Can Shoot in One Color & the Rest is in Black & White, & Color Swap, & Poster Effect, my Two Canon Powershots Have them.
What Kind of Creative Filters do The Apple's & Samsung Phones have?

I Do Look at the Cell Phone Photos on Facebook & on UHH, & Half are Good Maybe 70%, the 30% are Crap!
I don't know about you Fella I Take My Photography Very Serious when Shooting Photos, Again... I Look at the Camera Phone Photos & Photos from Digital Cameras & the Phone Shots are Damn Sharp! & With a Hi-End to Medium D.S.L.R.
The Reunion I Attended this Past Weekend had "Pictures & Memories" but I saw The Photos on Facebook From the Reunion & Again they Looked S@#tty!
The Day After the Reunion A Handful of Of Class of 79 Members met a A Small Restaurant A Couple of Blocks from the Beach & they Posted Pictures from that Event &They Looked Damn Good from their Camera Phones, Sharp & Rich!
So in the Case of the Reunion Photos that were Shot from Camera Phones from the Events, Most that I Saw were Crap, a Handful of Mine were Crap from My Canon SX-50 & It was No Excuse for the Camera Phones to Act Like that!
Again... I don't know what Model Phones they were Using when they Took their Reunion Photos, or Other Features, I know that They (The Classmates) Shot within 2 to 5 Feet with their Phones & Most were Dark, Out of Focus.
& The Reunion wasn't the Only Photos I've Seen Camera Phone Photos that Look Like Crap, some of my Facebook Friends have Camera Phones & Posted Events on Facebook & Most of Their Photos are Dark, Out of Focus, & Crap, & some of the Photos were Events, a Kodak Moment that the Photos Came Out Crap & these were Apple, Samsung & Google Phones.
Another Issue is the Flash Range on the Camera Phones, Despite Lenses that have F-Stops Under 2.0, Some Indoor Photos from Camera Phones that I've Seen Are Crap & Some are Damn Good.
That's Why I Won't Touch a Camera Phone, & why should I have to Pay a Freaking Grand for an Apple 10 or 11, or its Rival that Half Ass won't Bring Clear Quality Shots Indoors Or Out.
No Thanks Fella... I'll Stay Old School with my Regular Cameras, Despite the Size Weight, Etc!
My Photos that I Shoot i Take "Very Serious" when it Comes to Quality, I Carefully Look Hard on the Sharpness of My Images that I Shoot, & Most Likely you do the Same!

I Have a Friend who Lives in Ormond Beach, Florida about 60 Miles West of Orlando, & her Brother had Visited her from L.A. where she Used to Live.
Anyway... her Brother Had One of the Earlier Nikon D.S.L.R. Models from Last Decade, that he Got in 2007, this Incident Happend in 2009 After he Bought the Camera, & they had been Touring The Southern Part of Florida State, Driving in Her Car, & this was in the Summer, the Heat & Humidity Somehow hit his Camera with Mold.
He Managed to Clean Up the Problem, because it was in the Early Stages on the Lens, but After that he Used those Gel Packs to Keep his Nikon from Collecting Mold & Put it in the Case he Bought for the Camera, the Flash he Also Bought & the Lens (55-200) was Not Affected, Nor the 28-70 Lens, Just the Body.
He Took Immediately Action So his Camera Equipment would Not Catch More Mold & Mildew.
One of the Disadvantages with Camera & Lenses & Equipment in Florida!

This Past Weekend (September 14th/15th) I Attended Two Events here in the L.A. Area, a Baby Shower & a 40 Year Class Reunion from My Old High School.
The People who Shot the 2 Events Put them On Facebook, & the Photos from the Camera Phones that they Shot from, Most were Lousy, Underexposed, Dark, & Out of Focus.
I Shot from 2 Canon Powershot Cameras, a SX-50, Bridge Camera & a Powershot SX-150 Pocket Camera, my Photos Came Out Better on Facebook than the Camera Phones.
Now I don't know if they had Apple Phones or Google, or Samsung Camera Phones, & some of my Photos were Poor, but I Have a Feature on Both Cameras that Correct Darken Photos, I don't Know if the Elite Camera Phones have the same Device on those Phones.
Anyway... with the Class Reunion which Graduated a Year Before me in 79, Most of the Camera Phone Shots were from Phone Cameras, I Didn't See One Damn D.S.L.R or Bridge, or Pocket Digital, I Crashed the Reunion After 10:30, & I'm the Only One in the Elks Lodge where the Reunion was Held at with a Bridge Camera, & my Photos Came Out Better than the Camera Phone Shots.
I Viewed a Lot of Camera Phone Shots of the 40th Class Reunion that was Put on Facebook, & Most were So S@#tty Looking, Underexposed & Dark, & Out of Focus!
What the Hell Happend with the Camera Phone Shots, I can't Explain?
Some Camera Phones Work Well... Some Don't!
The Photos I Put Out on Facebook Look a Little More Better I Shot from my SX-50.
To Me I'm Still Mixed with the Camera Phones & Love & Hate Issue!

If your Flash Photos are Coming Out Well you shouldn't have any Problems Using a Film Flash from the 90's.
As I Said I Tried to use Two Film Flash Boosters (Slave Lights) which I Bought from Ritz Cameras in 94, & they Did Not Work Well With My Pocket Digitals, Nikon's L-11 & 16, & My Canon Powershot SX-150, & I Haven't Even Use them on my Current Canon SX-50 Yet!
You have Vivitar & it's Very Reputable, I've Had 2 Vivitar Flashes in the 80's & 90's & they Worked Real Good with my Olympus OM-1, & Nikon F-301 (N-2000) Film Cameras.
But as People Say & I've Taken Serious Advice... Make Sure Your Flash is Compatible woke the Make of Camera you Have because on the Cameras Hot Shot Circuitry, Cause that's what you Don't Want to Burn Out by Using a Wrong Type of Flash on your Camera.
& As I was Told, Film Flashes & D.S.L.R.'s Don't Work Together, Their "Oil & Water" Because of Circuitry & Not on the Same Page With Camera Flash Sync.

If it's a Slave Flash & You can't Use it to Attach on the Camera because the Circuitry is Different & it's an Older Flash, & if its Not a Digital Flash, Just a Flim Flash, then You're Up S**t Creek!
I have Two Flash Booster Slave Lights from Ritz Camera I Bought in 1994, but they Only Work for Film Cameras & Flashes Cause the Chemistry between Film Flashes, Even Slave Film Flashes Don't Mix with Digital Flashes, & Pocket Digital Cameras, & D.S.L.R's & Digital Flashes, the Story is that Digital & Film Flashes Can't Work Together Cause they Don't Sync, & you're Flash Photo Images will come out Bad Other words, They Are "Oil & Water" when you Try to Use them Together.
So Unless you're a Film Camera User, I'd Keep your Older Film Flash for the Film Camera, & Digital Flash for Digital Camera, as well as Slave Digital Light.
