Would you like it to have a 50x zoom range? How about a 3" swivel- tilt LCD? These items as well as a decent EVF require a size much like the SX50hs. My ideal would be the size of the old S2is but look at what that small size offered. I do prefer smaller but will not give up all the above mentioned items.

I don't require that much zoom or a tilting screen but I am pleased that the SX50 meets your requirements Don. I had an SX40 a few years ago but didn't use it much because of it's size.

I actually currently use an SX40hs as I only upgrade every 2nd or 3rd model.  My next move will be the SX60hs mostly due to the improved ergonomics and better EVF.  For an all in one travel cam these SZs can't be beat.  And certainly that long zoom and twisty LCD are very much required for quick shots on the move, especially with touring crowds.

I certainly agree smaller is better but be careful what you wish for.
