I own the SX50 and the FZ200...I sent the first SX 50 back after a short period and it is slow and does just OK...nothing impressive...I got to thinking after seeing some higher ISO from the Canon SX50 that I did not give it a fair shake, so I bought a second and brought it with me to West Africa...I also brought the Nex-7 and 18-200 LE...the Canon SX is so slow that any movement at all with slower shutter speeds results in very soft photos...it's not bad, but it's not anything special...

Kenn Threed sits in his backyard and shoots birds at 12-25ft maximum, heavily processes and him and his wife do excellent, there is none better except maybe Kevin at shooting "Birds on a Stick" or BOS...it is a prop setup more or less just like a bird blind which is what I use often my self....

The FZ200 is the better camera of the two...by a comfortable margin....

I use SX50 for bird photography for extra reach ,  it is slow  as compare to my Nikon D7000 (don't know about FZ200).  But it too great to reach near bird without disturbing them. I never bother to go near to bird , just take pic where am standing . In my pics i used +1 EV and vivid color and that too in bright sunny day , that why it look over exposed.

Am not saying fz200 is bad , but in India , there presence is very less , and after sale support is very very very less as compare to Canon/Nikon. It is hard to get to see FZ200 in any camera store / BIG digital store  and specially for trial / test in hand , so hard to say about fz200 , Spec look good on paper like 2.8 till 600mm , Lica is master in lens for years.
According to me after seeing pics both look good , BEST is what suite you

Here is my sx50 pic.
