Editor's Review
Canon has leapfrogged Nikon's P510 with the SX50 HS, a camera sporting an improbably long 24-1200mm 50x optical zoom. They're claiming improved image stabilization, up to 4.5 stops, but hand-holding 1200mm is bound to be difficult. Other improvements include better autofocus, a slightly enlarged 2.8-inch swivel touchscreen, and built-in wireless. The release has even more clearly divided the market into Panasonic's FZ200, with its relatively short 24x zoom and fast lens speed, and the ever-lengthening zoom ranges of other models. It will be interesting to see where other manufacturers, most notably Fujifilm, fall in future releases.

Canon PowerShot SX50 HS Comments & Questions (write your own!)
Great surf shots (GoPrimalCostaRica — 01/24/2013)
My friend has the older model of this camera and we use this for shooting some great videos from the beach of us surfing without having to be in the water. Can get some real nice close up photos as well. I am looking to get this new model as I have been very impressed with the results of my buddy's camera.

Please help me help my mother-in-law (Anna Esposito — 12/09/2012)
Hi! I really want this camera for my mother in law. She has had the same camera for years and has been complaining about how slow it is, and how she can hardly zoom. We went to see Obama, and you could not even see him in the pictures she took, because her camera hardly zoomed. I so want her to have a nice camera that she can use to take pictures of her grandchildren.

Dream Machine (Alan Gendler — 12/04/2012)
WOW! W/50X zoom I could really focus in on the different raptors flying the coast of central California where I live. With my current 4.1MP 3X zoom point and shoot, I've taken some nice shots of Sharp Shinned hawks and Turkey vultures but can't get very close.
With the 10fps burst I would also be able to get great stop action of hummingbirds.
I've never worked with raw data and would love to experiment with this camera.
Do I deserve to win such a great camera? No, probably not but if I did, I could pass my current camera to my neighbors child. She's shown a great interest in photography but gets no encouragement.

Hoping this comment wins me this camera! (Ric D'Intino — 11/11/2012)
I'd love to own a powerful extended zoom like this, and I'm a huge Canon fan. Currently using an ancient A95, so this would be a huge upgrade for me!
