As most here may know, the SX50 gets high praise for it's I.Q.

It's O.I.S. (IS) was very effective, too.

Hi Anayv,

As you have shown many times here in and the Panasonic Compact Talk over the years, taking/ posting these type of images just about any camera can provide great results for their image size.

I guess. Sorry , I make it easy for folk to download , posting smaller sizes

I got tired of messing around with the FZ80 which I got in hopes to use in lieu of the FZ200 with having the R&R of the 1.7 TC combo to have 25-1,020mm EFL.

The overall FZ80 IQ reminds me of the reviews on the FZ100. I gave the FZ80 to one of my grandsons to play around with.

That was one noisy camera (FZ100).  The first using a CMOS sensor, I recall.

Panasonic quickly came out with the FZ150. Briefly owned that one. Clearly the best FZ (with the 1/2.3" sized sensor) I owned , IMHO. Also 12MP

After re-reading the Imaging Resource:
"Best Superzoom 2014: Eight competitors, 2.5 clear winners" ,

I remember reading that. Also recommended it to few folk...but they didn't quite agree with their conclusion. Oh well .

I like the fact that it is a real world outside test.

and looking at many other sample images of the superzoom bridge cameras, when I saw a SX50 HS in "Excellent" condition with a 180-warranty at KEH.com I bought it.

SX50 HS delivered Friday (09/20) but have not been able to use yet; camera is in 'like new' condition.

Congrats!

Great I.Q.  Step up from FZ80....but

Terrible EVF (hope you don't need to use that, and can use the LCD instead).

Also be ready for really slow AF.

Also , no way to make AF box small enough for certain smallish subjects.

Burst mode is only around 2fps, and the EVF/LCD will blank out between shots

Been very please with the overall IQ of all the 12MP (1/2.3" sensor & 1/1.7" sensor) Canon compacts I've used—still have my S110 and G15.

Here's part two ...with more thoughts and SX50 images:
