HS50 vs X-S1

You aren't doing a fair evaluation by choosing an after-market, cheaper zoom. It's not unusual for Nikon's or Canon's own offerings to be a little better.

However, most long reach in that end of the market, for quality imaging, is done with very expensive tele primes in the mega-thousand dollar market.

What the bridge cam market needs is a quality, constant aperture (around f2.8) lens, even if it only goes 20x or 25x, on a 2/3" sensor so you can shoot comfortably at ISO800. Or even ISO1600 in a few years time.

But there possibly is not all that much market for such a thing.
