DP Review of SX50HS Posted

I usually like Jeff's reviews.  But I'm not sure I agree with his opinions on this one.  I have both the FZ200 and SX50.  After playing with the FZ200 for 4 months, and the SX50 for one or two weeks, at this point I think I rate the SX50 slightly higher.

Obviously the FZ200 has the benefit of a very fast F/2.8 lens which should not be underestimated.

But the SX50 has longer telephoto which is very decent at the long end, and has slightly better JPEG image quality.

I don't see how one rates 80 and one rates 72.  I would probably rate them 78 - 80 with the higher score going to the camera which has the above qualities you prioritize. (fast lens -v. longer telephoto and better JPEGs)

I wish Jeff could post the studio comparisons of the two cameras like he did on his web site showing the "Melinda's" like here http://www.dcresource.com/reviews/panasonic/dmc_fz200-review?page=0,2
