I'm getting a little more comfortable with the SX50 now and having fun, if not spectacular shots!

I am really interested in shooting macro/close-ups and bird shots. I found this video tutorial that provides instructions for setting up your programmable C1 and C2 modes on your camera, one for bird photography and one for macro... for any of you SX50 users that might be interested.

Great series of photos, Susan! That SX50 looks sharper than I would have thought.

Thanks Howard. I have been pleasantly surprised myself. Best distance stabilization and clarity I've gotten with a point and shoot camera, and I've had some really good results in years past using Sony and Olympus mostly. Not comparable to my Canon 7D, of course, but very effective for a camera I can carry with me all of the time. A lot of fun!
