The easiest way to learn all about the SX50 is to watch Fat Dragon's video tutorials on the Canon SX40. Very minor differences between the two cameras except for improved performance. Fat Dragon is a young lady who works in a camera store in London and made these tutorials in her home. Very informal, fun to watch and lots of demo shots on different settings. This is her web site:

There has been a lot of talk lately about the SX50. I checked one out and found out that it is much more expensive than my Nikon L820 and in many ways does not do as much.

I moved to the Canon SX50 from the Nikon Coolpix P90. It's Canon's 50x optical zoom that makes the cost difference. I shoot mostly wildlife so the extra optical zoom is very important to me.

I also moved up from the P90. Have been very satisfied with it.

Best to you, glad I could be of service. Where is that little town you live in. I am from PA originally. My mother was from Ridgeway, PA (upper NW) I was raised near Valley Forge (SE).

about 20 miles north/east of Pittsburgh. We are in a nice small town and the Allegheny river is right across the street. With a nice park. We have a boat and spend most of the summer on the river. Thought this camera would come in handy for the wildlife across the the river where we cant get in close enough for the other cameras. The only thing so far I don't like about the sx50 is the photos seem alittle more grainy at 100%. But I haven't played enough with it yet.
Again...many thanks for the site.
And THIS site is THE BEST! Everyone is sooo helpful.

Don't go past optical zoom in auto..if you go into digital your shots will definitely start to get grainy. Go in camera settings and chose the 2X tele-converter. You will get longer optical and clear.
