Test in a "working" environment
1

there`s no way I`d choose to use a Phone-sensor megazoom as a work camera, least of all indoors but as I was there I thought I`d see what the SX50 could do in an emergency

Had to shoot like the way we shoot theatre , you shoot for the micro-pauses rather than crank the ISO and try and stop action, totally different from sports - I shoot Full frame like this and it works, as you can see the shutter speeds are low but I managed to keep the ISO down to 320 .. Not disappointed in the least at ISO320 on the SX50 in RAW.. Doesn`t seem any noisier than 12Mp Micro 4/3 cams like the EPL1 or GF3 were..

I`m well impressed for a small 9 year old hypermegazoom camera with a Phone sensor - more than I was at the time I first had one - I guess its because I`m comparing to my Iphone 11 and not a 1DS Mk3 as a reference point - also RAW converters have improved somewhat in that time, C1 was always IMO the best but its NR has very much improved in subtlety
