SX50 -Remember!
3

When the SX60 came out and we, the SX50 owners, were disappointed by the IQ of the boasted 65X optical zoom, in fact mere 57X at the telephoto end, some people said we're wrong. Anyway, we moved to other brands...

Now here is the new SX540, with the same zoom range and aperture as SX50, but without RAW, swivel screen and EVF, boasting DIGIC6 (probably better) and, surely much worse, 20MP (!), cramed on the same size sensor of all superzooms 1/2.3"! I think 16MP, like in the famous Nikon P900 and P600/610, is the maximum acceptable; probably I would have preferred even there 12MP, like in SX50.

Thus Canon chose the marketing way to their superzooms: farewell!

I'd like to put here a remember of my dear and still operational SX50:

That was handheld and ...

... here where the tractor was short time after!

Happy shooting everyone,

Augustin
