I am extremely pleased with my new Canon SX50. Being new to digital slr's and not much of a techie, I find it perfect for everything I want to do. It takes great pictures with the zoom while bird watching and great close-ups for family shots. I recommend this camera for anyone who wants to step up from a pocket camera but doesn't want to spend alot on a high tech camera and then buy another lens too. Great price, great camera.Lost my Canon PowerShot SX120 IS which I loved except for the fact it didn't have a viewfinder. Sun glare made zoom shots very difficult. I started research for a replacement; must-have was a screen and view finder and perhaps a more powerful zoom. Considered going to a DSLR but initial price and potential future costs were more of an investment than I wanted to make. Due to reviews and familiarity with Canon products, I chose the SX50 HS.
Many reviews had mentioned poor quality of bundle items. I checked on separate prices of tripod and flash, which I would've eventually ordered, and couldn't believe the savings on this bundle which did not disappoint. I was like a little kid on Christmas when it promptly arrived, absolutely giddy opening all the packages ... I am still getting used to camera, but great results so far! Zoom is phenomenal! The moon shots are awesome and herons don't freak and fly at photographer intrusions. (If we returned to Africa, I bet I wouldn't have so many zebra butt shots.) I have arthritis, so fumble a bit with larger size, though camera weight is not a problem. I occasionally hit self-timer by mistake, but it's easy to quickly remedy. I am a total amateur that just has a good eye for composition and am looking forward to a long happy relationship with this camera.
