SX 50, SX 500, of G15? I think I am trying to decide between the SX50 and SX500. Give me your opinions!

I just took my SX 50 to the top of Mount Evans and was able to get dramatic close-up pictures of a herd of mountain goats. I also got a phenomenal shot of a mother mountain goat and her kid on a steep outcropping of rocks. The picture is so clear that you can see the eyelashes on the goats! I've owned many, many cameras and have never loved a camera as much as I love this one.

To Tom Martin or anyone who can help, excluding video, why is the EOS 50D 15.1MP a higher quality than the T1i or T2i?I'm trying to decide between the three and when I look at the list of specs for them, they all seem almost identical from what I can tell. I'm sure I'm missing something. Does the 50D have a more rugged build?Thanks to anyone who contributes an opinion on this.

Without a doubt the Panasonic is a better deal and camera for the money ,I have both the G12 and the LX5 and the Panasonic wins hands down in almost all aspects. Just My op of course.

I have an SX30 and they work fine on it. They have a 52mm thread, so if the SX50 has a 52mm thread they will work.

Congratulation on the purchase of your SX50. What an amazing gem of a camera! It seems you have solved the problem. I'm pleased that you were dealing with Gojo... A great company that always takes care of their customers. Now, you should consider getting a polarizing filter and a lens shade. If you are doing any landscapes or seascapes you will find that the polarizing filter is the most valuable tool in your bag. When you get a lens shade I strongly suggest getting the soft collapsible rubber shade. Those hard tulip shades are a waste of money. Your lens on the SX50 goes from 24mm to 1200mm. At the 24mm, wide angle setting, the rubber lens shade will vignette very slightly in the corners when the shade is mounted on one of the filter. Without a filter in place it won't vignette at all. Gojo sells both items. Just make sure you get the collapsible one. I leave my rubber lens shade on all the time. In the collapsed position it gives great added protection to the lens by acting like a rubber bumper. Your 58mm lens cap will snap right into the threads of the shade when the shade is in the collapsed position. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any additional questions on the SX50 or related topics. I am a photojournalist and I use this camera for many of my magazine features. Good luck and good shooting! massey_23@msn.com

I can tell you from experience that the Nikon P500 is not a good camera for stabilization. The new P510 might be but I haven't tested that one. I did test the P500 several times and was disapointed with it. I haven't tested the canon sx40 but you may want to test both cameras before making a decision. I bought a sony HX100 after testing it and finding out it had great stabilization and low light performance when I tested it. You may want to try testing it along with the other cameras before you make a decision to buy one.

I have used this Battery in my SX40hs and it works great. I believe it will perform as well in the Sx50 if it's the same battery model requirement. I agree with the previous answers in that it seems to last longer than the original battery.

Thank you! I haven't heard of the sx40 i'll check it out. I really like the specs. On the sx230. The images looked better than the Sony hx9 I was gonna get. But the canon seem to beat it with quality of picture. Thanks again

The G15 is a discontinued and replaced by the G16. I bough the G16 for its small size with robust features to compliment my Canon 5D. The SX260 is much larger than the G16 and didn't fit my needs. As for the G16 performance, spectacular! the large sensor captures large amounts of RAW data for great pictures. On board star trail processing feature has produced some DLSR quality shots. My biggest dilemma is the confusion going from 5D controls to the completely different G16 control. I still give it a 5 star rating!

I was just debating the SX20 vs SX30, so I was really glad to find this discussion. I assumed the 30 would be an improvement, but it sounds from this discussion and many customer reviews that 20 is a better choice for image quality.

I'm NC45 as well and I believe sx11 would be the better choice. However after using mine for a while wondering why it was so light I realized Amazon sent me sx 01 instead of 11. So I dont even use it and I won't be purchasing another.

Hi Pablo, I have a similar camera (and lens set). I have the GF5 with the X series (compact) 14mm-42mm and I recently got the x series 45mm-175mm. After a ton of reading all the reviews and comments and factoring price and everything (for me) I decided this was the best 2nd lens for me. That said, it is no good UNLESS one is 20+ feet away from what you basically want to shoot. When I take a group shot I have to switch back. I will say the 45x175 is a superb lens, but if you were going to mount one and leave the other home, you would really want the 14-140 (IMO). When I chose the 45-175 I figured why get a lens that was already a range of one I had but in practical use I now see the 14mm-140mm There were a few other factors, one was the price was significantly higher (I got my 45-175 for one hundred ninety two using "like new" on warehouse deals) the other was I really wanted a "X" series lens and the 14-140 is a "G" series only. Two other factors were the 14-140 was almost 8 years older and twice as heavy. I have a GF5 and LOVE how with the 45-175 mounted I can hold it like a soda can in one hand when not using it. I am sure the 14-140 is a great lens, and with the GH2 being a much bigger and heavier camera, I am not sure the increase weight would be an issue. Next time I get another lens my quandary may be similar to your, but it would be the 100-300 vs the very useable 14-140. I already get "Wow" comments with the 45-175 mounted on my tiny red GF5 camera. I can only imagine the comments the humongous 100-300 (zoomed out) would get. I do like how the 45-175 it totally internal and am a tad fearful of the 'zooming/slide' tube feature of the 100-300. I know they have to do it, but it's a tad scary. Overall I really think if you are going to REPLACE (meaning sell or no longer have access the 14-42mm lens) you should opt for the 14-140. That way you ONLY change if you want CRAZY zoom potential! Take care!

I'm also trying to decide if the Canon XS or XSI is right for me. I own the original 6.1mp Canon digital Rebel slr and am wondering if now is a good time to upgrade? I used to shoot primarily landscapes while traveling, but am doing more portraits now that I have kids. The Digic III processor definitely caught my attention, but I'm wondering how much of a difference in the cameras will I notice?

I have an SX30 and they work on it. They have a 52 mm thread so if the sx50 has a 52 mm thread it should work.

I purchased LX-3 back in March 2009 and paid less than current price. I was sold on abundant glorious reviews. I take lots of macro shots with manual control. I was expecting superior performance to my old Canon G6. To my surprise, Canon G6's image was superior to LX3. I sold LX3 on eBay with BIN and my loss was minimal because I sold LX3 when all online dealers didn't have the LX3 in stock.I am eagerly waiting for G11, sure it is bigger than LX3, but G series cameras feel solid and secure. Also LX3's annoying lens cab is a shortcoming.

I have the SX500 and it fits perfectly. SX50 looks to be the same size so it should fit also.
