Re: Just got another SX50

For those who do not use an sx, the problem with the evf is that it is not high resolution..  Meaning at low zoom you cannot see what will be at high zoom.

Spot birds in the fov, then release the zoom button to go back to full zoom. Adjustable.  When at 1200mm goes to 300mm.  Wide enough to reacquire your target.  Let go and 1200mm again.  Issue is you cannot see the target well at 300.  Used to it.  An optical, or sight or red eye would help.

Pressing the display button changes the evf and rear screen. Also changes the review.  Closing the screen automatically switches to evf.

Now focus speed, focus choice, manual focus... those are issues that need help.

Later models did add higher res evf.  Not sure how well it fixed the issue.  Better manual focus implementation is another area.

I still use my sx50s.  Exclusively.  Some have gotten really good copies of sx70. Would need a hands on to feel the improvements.
