Unfair comparison
2

I had an RX10 Mk3 for 3 years, this and the Mk4 (same cam but with PDAF basically) are the best bridge cams ever made IMO so pitting the SX50 up against one is rather an unfair comparison ..........

........and I made it unfairer by downsizing the RX10.3`s 20Mp images down to 12Mp and re-sharpened .. remember that the RX10`s lens is F4 at 600mm whereas the SX50's is F5.6 which is deep into diffraction for a 1:2.3" sensor - the RX10 has a 1" sensor of course , was made many years later, has far larger optics and was in far brighter conditions so at 500th sec .. the SX has one advantage, its at half its zoom range

So here we are - RX10 MK3 (the current Mk4 is £1500 - £1100 used or £800 used for a nice MK3) vs SX50 which was £110 used (scruffier ones can be had for £80 even from a dealer) ...... All in RAW in C1 . it`s slightly misty today so the RX (which was shot in 2019) gets a benefit there too . I think the little SX is doing pretty good
