Canon SX60HS in Action
I finely found the section in the manual for my problem However, It reveals that there is no solution. On page 106 of the manual it shows my options and the option I need is not there. So the way I read it I cannot shot multiple images and then review them. I only have an option of reviewing... -
Canon SX60HS in Action
How do I ungroup my photos so I can preview them on the camera I have recently joined the ranks of the SX60 owners. I have had a 50 since 2014 but have worn them out having birded and traveled extensively in the past four years taking about a half million pictures. (mostly deleted :) I... -
Canon SX60HS in Action
It does seem that the people that are OK with the 60 have no or little experience with the 50. Going on you experiments, I am glad I have two 50s. My oldest and most used 50 seems slower on the focus that it used to, but it has been in service for over two years now and I am certain it has... -

Apples to apples comparrison Hello Crazy Fingers, I have been lurking for some time on this subject. It was your observations that compelled me to purchase a second SX50. I purchased my first one at Best Buy because I wanted to purchase an extended warranty, something I never do. That was... -

Spring in Oregon with the SX 50 I have had an SX 50 for two and a half years and it is in my hand almost every day. Here are some recent shot. The White Wagtail was a long way off, hand held at 1800 mm and the bird never stopped moving. This was the 11th record of this bird in Oregon. Left... -

SX 50 woes I concur, I have owned the SX50 for 13 months and about ten days ago, It died during a flying bird sequence using the sports mode, which is what I use for flying birds most of the time by the way. The last four frames were black and there was no image through the lens from that... -
Canon SX60?
improvements, My SX50 died today. I have had it for 13 months. I rarely buy service contracts but knowing how much I would use this camera, I purchased it at Best Buys in the US and bought the three year contract. We shall see how well they honor it. I calculate that I have used the camera... -

Flying birds I dropped in and saw the flying bird posts, ran across this one from early last month and thought I would and it to the mix female Norther Harrier I often use the sports mode when attempting flying photos and have had mixed results. -

Nice Shots Josh, I wish I had had my SX50 back at the beginning of last year when I was in Florida. -
Canon SX50 Specs
Eddy, glad she saw the light, my wife also designated my camera as my birthday present. Once a long time ago I tried to get a DSLR by reminding my wife that back in the day when I was shooting film with a SLR, I would often spend at least $500 on film and developing when we went on vacation so... -

Still loving the SX50, answers to a couple of recent questions. I wanted to comment on two recent posted questions. First, the question of battery life. I find this camera to be as good or better than any camera I have had when it comes to battery life. I actually have a total of four... -

The Merlin and the Chickadee I was out for a walk again this afternoon when a Merlin shot past over my head and landed in a distant tree. I guess he was in attack mode and snagged some lunch before landing. The camera continues to impress me, the pictures are quite grainy but again, the camera... -
Canon SX50 Specs
Zoom setting There has been some discussion concerning setting the zoom on C1 or C2 and some have indicated that they want it to zoom out to be ready. I have set mine to zoom to 600mm thus giving enough telephoto to see the bird good so I can get it centered and then zoom the rest of the way... -
Canon SX50 Specs
Just a couple of pics Since everyone else has posted some results, here are some of mine. Again, most are pretty soft but so much better than my previous digiscoping efforts that I am really happy with the SX50. -

Tele-converter There has been some discussion on this thread about why the tele-converter works better than digital zoom. I have not seen this response so forgive me if it is a repeat. I just discovered this statement in the manual, (I'm sure you have all read every word of the manal:=)... -
Canon Hack Development Kit
Bought a Canon SX50 last week and I am patiently making my way through the 45 pages of the SX50 thread and there is very little mention of the CHDK. I am not a teckie and I still don't know how to use half the features of the firmware that comes with the camera. So, my question is does anyone... -
Canon SX50 Specs
First time out with the SX50 Weather finally improved since I purchased the camera on Friday so here are some of my first efforts. I am trying to read the manual and this entire thread before I start asking the same questions. -

Glasses vs the EVF I just got a SX50 have not had time to try it since the purchase yesterday afternoon but have already discovered that I have to remove my Varifocals to use the EVF. If I remove my glasses it is clear but of course this is combersome because I can no longer see the bird or... -

Cleaning up the US West Coast – Seattle and LA, USA February 2012
The year of the Snowy Owl Great trip Mike, would have loved to have been there. I can identify with your feelings about the Rock Sandpiper, it is one of my favorite shorebirds. In 2004 I did my biggest North American year and had a total of 474 species. 473 was a Purple Sandpiper on a jetty...- Condor305

Hi Mike, I really enjoyed the vicarious trip to Sichuan. The Lesser Panda was wonderful. I am also enamored by the Grannadas they must look striking in large flocks. Lots of cool birds actually. I agree with your comparison of the Shuangquiao Cun Valley to Yosemite. I experience frozen...- Condor305

Your patch, the enjoyment lingers... Hi Mike, snow flakes are swirling this afternoon in Bend, Oregon, USA so I am sitting next to my computer with my copy of "A Photographic Guide to the Birds of Hong Kong" doing some vicarious birding via your patch. Probably braving the elements tomorrow...- Condor305
