Head to the Coolpix forum if you want threads about it... I'm stuck between buying a refurb sx50 and the P900... price is a big difference (and the size is a huge difference too).. leaning towards the Sx50 for cheap and getting the next SZ iteration new when it arrives.

what do you shoot?  i bought a refurb SX50 recently.  image quality is pretty good for a superzoom, and i like that it shoots raw, but the autofocus for birds in flight isn't good and the EVF is jittery, so i'm selling it and probably buying a P900.  i rented one and got MUCH better results than with the SX50 plus using the P900 was just lots of fun while for the BIF results i did get, using the SX50 was disappointing.  some people suggest you use sports mode on the SX50, and i did try that, but with sports mode you can't shoot raw, results were only so-so and the jittery EVF still made framing really challenging.
