I hope my comments haven't offended anyone. It's not a criticism of the photography, just the output the sensor produces. There's a reason phones (with sensors about the same size) have settled around 13MP. Marketing pushes the pixel count up while diffraction and pixel efficiency hold it down. 13MP has evolved as the compromise. I was also quite happy with the output from my 10MP Nikon P80 a decade ago.

What resolution would the SX70 sensor be scaled up to full frame - about 640MP? There's a reason we don't see that.

..What do you think about these "SX50" pictures?

..they are all either 3000x4000 or 4000x3000 sizes..

..these are "not" my pictures, see the "source" links..

..however, the SX50 camera is also in my collection..

..just because a "newer" camera comes out, that does not mean you or anyone cannot enjoy the existing "older" cameras..

..and just because a "newer" camera comes out, that does not mean you have to impede others from enjoying them..

..the SX50 is a great camera, that has been "proven" through time, and will always be considered to be great..

..enjoy the cameras that you have, photography should be fun..

..thanks for sharing & happy shooting..

..Cheers..
