Since it appears that the ONE unit is compatible with BOTH Nikon & Canon, it would appear that it is compatible, but ONLY as a MANUAL flash with NO TTL capability. However it does also have the ability to function as an Off Camera Slave (manual settings). I would not buy it for mine, but it shouldn't hurt the camera.

Thanks. That's helpful.
Is there a Speedlite you would recommend?

Not sure what to tell you, except get one that has the TTL function. I got one at Target but can't remember the name and it is in my vehicle right now. I also bought an off camera cable from eBay so I can use it off to the side too. Flash cost about $60 and the cable was about $25 I think.

Will the Remote Switch RS-60E3 work with Canon SX50 HS? On the compatible list of RS-60E3 I don't see SX50. Please let me know. Thanks!

YES!! I have gotten one of those and a wireless that is RS-60e3 compatible and they work GREAT. If you look on Canon's website or in the manual it shows that item as an optional accessory

I use this with my SX50. The cost is only $4.03. It works fine.

You're welcome. I haven't used the wireless but this one is highly rated and used by other SX50 owners.

I got mine on eBay, no-name, but works good. Just search for RS-60e3 and you should get lots of choices.

Dear Kit Kit and Wahawk,
I already ordered one RS-60E3 and one wireless remote switch for my Canon SX50 HS. Thank both of you very much for your big help! I'm a new member of this forum and a novic photographer. I may still need your help in the future. By the way, my new user name is Bambi Leton.

Welcome to UHH and the "SX50 User Group" (just kidding on the User Group, but there are a LOT of us on here now!!)

Will be happy to help whenever I can. Linda from Maine is also VERY good with her SX50 and may know it even better than I do!! She took more pictures in the first 2 weeks she had it than I have in 6 months!!

By the way: On page 35 of the downloadable 286-page manual there is a list of the accessories available through Canon. I do not anticipate getting those having to do with connecting to TV Video System.

And although not a real accessory, I found very useful to get the 286-page manual printed and spiral-bound through Manuals Ink For $20.00 it is to me the best accessory by saving from the annoyance of chasing information on the computer download.

Would they print the manual from a pdf file? The reason is, there is a lot in there that I will never use - the video stuff you mention for example. I would like to edit the manual and just get the important (to me) bits printed out.

Thats about every accessory they make for the sx50 and I have them all and am very satisfied.

My only suggestion would be the Pixel wireless remote...amazon 21.00 and works very well.

I just got the Pixel RW-221/E3 for my SX50. The instructions have a bit to be desired. I am confused about the difference in the 1 second continuous shooting mode and the continuous shooting mode. Both seem to operate from the same button position.

Also, am I able to use the Bulb feature of this wireless remote, even though the camera does not have a bulb setting ( unless I missed it somewhere).
