Those three lizard shots are absolutely telling. Canon did a great job in the internal processing on the SX50HS. I compared my first SX50 to the FZ200 I had at the time. It was an indoor shot and light levels were low. ISO 1600 on the SX50 was cleaner looking than the FZ200 at ISO 800. I had to drop to ISO 400 to show an improvement over the SX50, and that ate up most of the F# advantage of the FZ200.

My second SX50HS was a factory refurb and not as good; and a later FZ200 was better than the first one, so they tied. But I kept the FZ200 and got rid of that SX50. My first SX50 went to my daughter.

Back in 2014, when Imaging Resource did a shoot out of superzooms, the SX50 was included and soundly defeated the SX60 they had. Later, DPReview compared several superzooms and the SX60 looked pretty good, so there does seem to be some sample to sample variation in the SX60. Several of us who frequented the Panasonic Compact Forum noted quite a lot of sample variation in the FZ200 over the first year of production.

Really well captured ANAYV!

I second what you say Gerald about some variations in the SX50. Such a great lens and while my FZ200 could really nail a great pic, the SX50 always got the job done. The SX60 and SX70 are both capable of excellent IQ..but I still give a slight edge to the 50.

Doobie Brothers  ISO 1600..no man's land for these small sensors, but it worked.
