Test Shots
5

Couple of Test Shots,. 24mm F4 and 1200mm wideopen ,, in RAW

Sadly C1 no longer supports the SX50, it did in 2013-2016 but DNG converter dosen`t load it up with correction or NR for this camera so the files are as good as CR2s in C1

Mild Distortion correction applied at 24mm - none for CA applied , another note is that the lens at 24mm doesn`t toilet roll anywhere near as bad as a G7X , G5X-II or Pan FZ1000 let alone a G1X Mk2 - its just a bit at the corners so you can just correct to lose that and you get about 22mm as shown in the example below

Full Size images (CLICK ORIGINAL) quick test shots , you can see the windmill at the top of the 24mm image so you can see how well the zoom works - excuse atmospherics at 1200mm of course ..

Best £110 (Mint from a dealer with 12m warranty) I could hope to spend. makes a fool of all of the 1" megazooms optically except the RX10 Mk3 and Mk4 of course let alone stuff like the gargantuan Nikon P1000 - and that sweet spot 12Mp 1:2.3" sensor is rocking - the SX50 has aged so well , if Canon relaunched with modern EVF, screen and CPU (in a more R10 styling) it`d be a killer - dosen`t even need a new sensor .
