    Canon SX50 Specs

    I've had an SX50 for a fair while now. During that time, I've briefly visited the dark side, in the shape of a Canon DSLR with a big white lens (800mm equivalent), and Lumix micro four thirds with 300mm (600mm equivalent). Without doubt I got better pictures from the Canon (1,200mm...

    Canon SX50 Specs

    First posting I've been interested in birds for years, and I finally decided I'd like to try to make some permanent records. I bought a Fuji HS50 seduced by how nice it felt to use, but I just couldn't get the kind of results I was hoping for. It went on eBay and I got an SX50 instead...
