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.

the magnification is pretty low too , you can see the whole panel and a lot more around the edges - great for glasses wearers I guess but it does make for a small view

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

this is the problem the button selects 2 different views before it swaps to EVF, a dedicated button where the wasted flash button is would have been ideal (flash is one of those things usually on the arrow pad)

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

Never had issues with focus speed , it switches on pretty fast too

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

that 20Mp sensor is pretty dire though from what I`ve seen .. 12Mp is a sweet spot for these tiny  sensors, the Iphones stuck there right up to now where Quad Bayer seems to have taken over but the sensor is twice the size, you`d not get one of those and 1200mm into an SX50 sized package
