Amazon is offering free delivery in the UK with that price, and hong Kong you have to add at least the import duty...but its good to have options

Well, I just pulled the trigger (or is that shutter release?) and ordered an SX-50 to replace my Lumix FZ-35. Looking forward to seeing how well it performs. Based on what I have read here, this should fit nicely. Happy B'Day to me!

And me to replace my Panasonic DMC-FZ38, also ordered spare battery and memory card.
I was told on here that the Camera comes without a card is there anything else not supplied.

I have had mine for a month or so now and it is a real step up from the FZ38 (or 35).

Mike, apart from the memory card everything is included to allow you to use the camera. I bought an additional OEM battery which works just fine and is half the price of the Canon one. I also bought a lens hood (again OEM).

I presume OEM is a non Cannon part I cant work out what OEM stands for, probably me having a senior moment.

So if you want to buy one of these from the UK, where is the best place online?
Also what acessories would you need?
Memory card & Camera case spring to mind.
Whats the battery life like? Would you need 2-3 for a full days birding?

You can get it from Amazon UK here with free UK shipping, and I recommend a card I use which is the SanDisk 32GB 45MB/s Extreme HD Video SDHC Card[/URL] and works wonderfully on my Canon EOS 1D4 and is dead cheap and offers plenty capacity

Magnification comparison - part 1

I sold my year old Canon SX40 for £180 and bought the new SX50 for £280 - good deal I think.
I gave a test out today after finding a Little Owl that was perched about 80 yards away in a quarry - impossible to get closer.
This first series show the bird at 100mm then 800mm then 1200mm then 1200 with 2x converter applied. None of the photos are cropped - just straight out of camera.
The next post shows a comparison with same bird/position only digiscoped.

 

[crazyfingers]

Excellent!

Magnification comparison - part 2

This second part shows the same little owl as above from exactly same position - about 80 yards away
I digiscoped these using my Swarovski 80hd scope and the Sony RX100 which was set on 3.7x magnification.
The shots below show the scope magnified at 20x, 40x, then 60x (I would not normally use 60x magnification as you do lose some quality).
First impressions of the Canon SX50 are good although the Chromatic Abberation on the photos is a concern - I never noticed this on the SX40.
Again these photos are straight out of the camera and not cropped.
