Where did you order yours from? The best price of a refurbished SX-50 I can find is from Canon at $386.00
They seem to change that price every week :) A few days ago it was $179, a few days before that, $386, a few weeks ago $179...and so on. Crazy!

Thanks. I believe Adorama can do better.

A good way to compare and check what to expect in a camera is to look at flickr.

It seems to me that the SX50 has better IQ.

But not very sharp either. It is not your daughter's mistake. This is the usual IQ produced by this camera. Instead try the Nikon P 600 or P900. The P600 is cheaper of the two with a better reach than the Canon HX 50 and far better Image sharpness. I sold my Canon and bought the Nikon p600. Well worth it.

I ordered the P900 about six weeks ago. I have two other Nikons and the P900 will supplement them. As for shooting in RAW, I don't. Some people swear by it. I'm not one of them.

[quote=JPL]Do not rely too much on snapsort.com It is a crap website that is very misleading and bases their score mostly on how many people are showing interest in cameras by searching for them on the internet and the technical features or quality of the cameras have a very limited value in the score. This is by far the worst website to look for useful info about new cameras.
Too many errors on snapsort, there are more reliable sites out there:

Here's an article I saw on Yahoo re: the P900:

Yes, it does have a longer reach, but I've seen hand-held images on the SX50HS from Hoggers that had better IQ.

These days, I wouldn't buy a camera that didn't shoot RAW.

I'm also going for an SX50 refurb. I'd prefer to have a larger sensor, but that's a tradeoff for the longer zoom. It will do until Nikon makes a good mirrorless with an aps-c sensor. (Though I am looking at the 4/3 sensors)
