Canon PowerShot SX50 HS Review - price and specs - Canon PowerShot SX50 HS announced at an event called Photokina 2012 in conjunction with the Canon PowerShot G15 and Canon EOS 6D. Has outstanding optical zoom that is 50 times the equivalent telephoto lens 24-1200 mm. It would be the Prosumer Camera which has the longest optical zoom range today. Beat Nikon Coolpix P510 has optical zoom range "only" 42 times. Is that an optical zoom feature is offered? Curious? Immediately, we are down to discuss the Canon PowerShot SX50 HS.
50x optical zoom is a phenomenal optical zoom range that can only be dreamed of by most users of DSLR cameras. If there is a lens along this course must be redeemed at a great price. Got 2-3 years ago we learned along the 1000 mm telephoto lens and even then had to use a crutch in a very large tripod. Well, the Canon PowerShot SX50 HS zoom range is actually put into the body that can be said to be equivalent to the size of a small Pocket Camera.
Without the zoom, the smallest point of the lens which is owned by the Canon PowerShot SX50 is 24mm point is a point that is ideal for capturing the sights and objects in the room. While the longest telephoto zoom is perfect to use for photographing wildlife in distant places.
Unfortunately we have not been able to try out the camera itself is to test how sharp the images that can be taken by the longest zoom. In addition to this trial can be known how fast the lens moves from minimum to maximum zoom point, whether there is noise or blur the image generated.
In addition to offering 50x optical zoom, the Canon PowerShot SX50 also offers 100X Zoom Plus with digital zoom. For this one has not got any specific sample images.
Continuing Canon SX40 HS traces that have been successful in the market, the Canon PowerShot SX50 supports RAW format shooting manifold. This is very interesting, especially for professional photographers who want to cultivate and mengekstar file every piece of detail and organize a wide variety of digital processing.
