It is more compact than the SX50, but a bit heavier. It hasn't got the reach of the small sensor super zooms, but the pictures can be cropped harder due to the larger sensor and pixel count. I loved my SX40 but I prefer thr Canon G3X. For me, it's the ideal walk about nature camera. They aren't cheap, so I would advise getting hands on with one and seeing if it can do what you want and meets your expectations. Everyone wants different things and have different priorities for their photography,but the G3X suits my style of photography perfectly and gets a big thumbs up from me. :t:</blockquote>
