Introduction:
I was going to continue with my series today on using your on camera flash, but I came upon a new camera review that I just had to share with you. The shots are from that review.
As a results oriented person, the cost of items may or may not be relevant. Sometimes there are amazing bargains out there that you just can't pass up.
Canon PowerShot SX50 HS Digital Camera
This small but very powerful camera has a zoom of 24-1200 mm. Yes that is correct. It zooms to 1200 mm. So first, let us compare it Canon's top pro 1200 mm lens.
You can add this one to you kit for a mere $1250,000 US. You will definitely need an assistant and a big tripod to help you use it.
So how good is this small camera at 1200 mm zoom? You decide. Here are two shots that will blow your mind.
First Shot:
- Keep an eye on the water tower way back in the distance.
This shot was taken with a 24 mm setting - 35 mm equivalent! All seems normal here. Now let's zoom in a little o heck go all the way to 1200 mm
Second Shot:
- Wow. Sharp
Features
- World's first 50x Optical Zoom (24-1200mm) and 24mm Wide-Angle lens*1 with Optical Image Stabilizer delivers magnificent images whether you are up close or far away.
- 12.1 Megapixel High-Sensitivity CMOS sensor combined with a DIGIC 5 Image Processor creates the Canon HS SYSTEM for improved low-light performance up to ISO 6400 and enhanced image quality.
- Capture stunning 1080p Full HD video in stereo sound with a dedicated movie button; zoom while shooting and play back videos on an HDTV via the HDMI output.
- High Speed AF greatly improves focus speed and High-Speed Burst HQ allows for continuous capture at a maximum of 10 frames*2 while maintaining superb image quality.
- Intelligent IS automatically chooses from six different modes to optimize image stabilization for the shooting condition.
- Bright 2.8-inch Vari-angle LCD with 461,000 dots for shooting at a variety of angles, plus an Electronic Viewfinder.
- Smart AUTO intelligently selects the proper camera settings based on 58 predefined shooting situations and the Face ID function adjusts focus and exposure priority based on pre-registered faces.
- Full range of shooting and recording modes including RAW+JPEG for the ultimate creative control.
- Built-in hot shoe allows compatibility with optional Speedlite flashes for additional lighting options.
Summary:
These are next to unbelievable shots. Even if I used the 70-200 mm on our Canon 50D plus a 2x's I would only get around 640 mm or half of this. Plus this camera has a 4 1/2 times IS. It is powered by the Digic 5 processor and has 12.1 MP's. It shoots in RAW and JPEG also. It has a hot shoe for use with your professional flash gun. You need SD memory cards for this one. One lens does it all!
Price: $479.00
What a great camera as a backup and for your vacation needs, birding and special wedding shots.
