Camera business like 'world's finest' labels, no matter whether they truly are 'globe's top' or merely biggest, tiniest, lengthiest, widest, quickest, smartest ... or whackiest!

Nonetheless, it's tough to disregard Canon and its description of the PowerShot SX50 HS as having the 'world's largest optical zoom array in a compact camera.' Simply because, at time of composing, it is!

Think of it by doing this: if you owned a 35mm SLR movie camera, wouldn't you simply love to clip on a zoom lens that ranged from an enjoyably large 24mm to a fearfully long 1200mm? I understand I would!

However, get real, and theorise about the physical practicality of such a 35mm movie lens! It would weigh a ton, stick far out from the camera and probably constitute a wind risk! And forget handholding it.

In reality, the new Canon Powershot SX50 HS compact weighs simply a little over half a kilo and is no larger than many compacts. Not pocketable but easy to carry, this new maxi zoom camera looks no larger than Canon's first long zoom compact, the SX30 of two years back.

First off, you see that the tiltable LCD display is a little larger than lots of current cameras, at 7.1 cm and has lesser resolution. Nevertheless, there is the turret viewfinder which is perfect for bright light shooting. I discovered it beneficial, to a specific degree, rather low in resolution but practical in pointing the camera!

The camera feels great in the hand and is well-balanced; you might operate it entirely with the right-hand man with the lens at complete large ... if you needed to!

Top deck: at left is the button to release the flash; to the right are the shutter button and zoom lever sited on top of the prominent speed grip; back a bit is the on/off button and mode dial where can be found positions for car, Program AE, aperture and shutter concern, scene modes, custom settings etc

. At back: a faster way button goes to far left ... this offers 2 avenues to appoint a function; to the right is replay, the 4 method rocker to gain access to macro, timer, ISO setting and exposure compensation; lower is a button for the show choices, consisting of access to the turret finder and then the menu button.

There are two front mounted framework assist buttons which will significantly help the use of the long zoom: if you're focused at any distance, the button temporarily whizzes the zoom back to complete wide to let you know where you are, with a white summary showing where you were (in tele)!
