I too had a Canon superzoom, mine was the SX40. I loved it! However, as I got better at using it, I stopped going for maximum zoom shots and wanted pictures of a better quality. The G3X has a fine digital zoom facility that is very good. I think the SX50 has the same function. You go into digital zoom and the zoom bar stays yellow to show you are in fine zoom mode. It goes up to x50 in this mode, and with the larger sensor returns very acceptable results.The Fox picture above was take in digital zoom at x50.I'm not sure if that has been of any help to you?RegardsMoocher</blockquote>
