SX50 Mini-Review Take One - Initial Observations, SX50 vs SX40, and Images

All I can say is "Wow!" I've never gotten this great and thorough a review (mini or not) from reading any other article online or in a printed magazine!  Although I sent my SX50 back (because I really didn't "need" the bigger zoom factor), I'm enthralled by all you've brought out about it that I can't begin to ever know.  Still I wonder if I could succeed with the older (but with a zoom more in my "need" range) SX40.  My mother should never have given me the camera and photography "gene"   Thank you so much for all your information and expertise!
