Canon PowerShot SX50 HS Review

Preview: Canon PowerShot SX50 HS

 Canon’s new bridge camera, the 12.1-megapixel PowerShot SX50 HS is a portly looking thing, especially considering the miniaturization trends influencing everything from DSCs to DSLRs. Its bulky size – weighing 595 grams and measuring 122.5 x 87.3 x 105.5 mm – can partly be explained by its optical zoom, which is the industry’s first to reach a whopping 50x, or a 35mm equivalent of 24-1200mm! Despite the camera’s eye-popping telescopic-like focal length, it is slightly hindered by its aperture range of f/3.4-f/6.5. The restricting apertures could prove difficult in low light environments, but Canon provides SX50 HS
