Purchased and returned SX50, similar Panasonic, Fuji, Samsung ultrazoom cameras.
Canon was OK, except the price, and 12MP only matrix - it counts when you use max zoom and try to get smth "panoramic".
All other cameras gave colors distortion, Fuji (not raw) especially.
GPS actually was helpful when I was on resort in Cuba and tagged all "wild" travel, snorkeling and scuba locations.
It's great to remember my best fishing spots (I'm from Canada), and who cares about battery draining when you have an extra one in box.
Yes, Nikon has problems with autofocus (P mode works better for me with minimum of focusing points) when you are trying to shot pictures from the fast moving bus bumping on Cuban roads. Canon is great. But still, 12MP vs 16MP and the price...
Never had problems with focus while zooming videos.
Adjustable electronic viewfinder is very useful for everybody who uses reading glasses so see anything on the screen.
So I'll be using this Nikon for a while till Canon gives me $300 (max), minimum x50 zoom camera with 20MP (at least) :-)

camera trick as well. Looked great. Only had it a week and sent it back
to the shop for a swap with the sx50 and love the camera. I had a sx40
first but did not like the grip. Nikon have a nice rubber grip that
feels great but there it stops. Picture quality from the nikon was best
of the 3 IMO. Problem was the auto focus was slow and I only had about
50 % keep rate for pictures, the rest were a fuzzy mess. Were the nikon
failed for me was its video. Once again I would start a clip ok and then
move with the subject or pan in for a closer look and the auto focus
would simply stop working so once again only a small percentage of kept
clips.
When I brought the SX50 I was blown away with its all
round performance compaired to the nikon. Best thing I have ever done
and I get to keep most of the images and clips I shoot now.
Do the people doing this review even use the cameras to see there results. I think not.
I
are not a perfessional camera man or anything else for that matter,
just joe bloggs off the street that wants to do a bit of wildlife
photography and capture family gatherings from time to time so a pick up
and shoot camera will do me fine. I do not want to know the tech
stuff,just shoot
I don't see how Nikon P510! Clearly someone who gets paid for Nikon wrote the Nikon P510 review.
You haven't metioned these cons of the Nikon P510
The screen only goes up and down, it does not rotate.
The focus is very slow at 42x zoom
It has GPS which pushes the price up for no reason and drains the battery
You need to update your old dated reviews. Anyone who buys a camera with your "advice" is going to get a bad deal and ripped off.
