    You are right! We apologize for the misinformation. The SX50 has a charger dock, which is a great feature!

  • @bt10ant
    @bt10ant 11 років тому +4

    Two things: I know that the Canon will shoot in RAW and the Nikon will not, if you like to use software for adjusting your image. Also this review says the batteries are only chargeable within the camera itself. You can inexpensively purchase extra batteries and an external charger for the Canon from E-Bay or other outlets that will allow you to charge one while using another.

    Great review, but I guess some facts need to be corrected: the Canon SX50 has an external battery charger, the battery cannot be charged by the camera.

      Yes ...that is the only thing that he got wrong. My CANON SX50hs has a separate charger that plugs into the wall.
      Otherwise this guy has a great persona in front of thecamera. great job.

    Brief but good comparison work here. Thanks! Helped more than most vids on YT to make my decision on a superzoom.

    • @MikeUpie
      @MikeUpie 10 років тому

      I did lots more research and ordered the Sony HX400 for $419 from 42nd St. Photo this week. Mine won't have GPS, but I don't need it. The Sony's Wi-Fi might be useful. I needed a microphone input that most superzooms lack. The Sony has a hotshoe that accepts their adjustable stereo mics (and has a mic out ability to send the signal to a mixer, etc. for processing.) The Sony seems to focus faster than the others, and the ability to manually focus is a plus.

  • @anulearntech
    @anulearntech 10 років тому +2

    one singular reason why the hx300 falls behind the sx50hs is the use of 20 mp.
    the more pixels you put, the more noise it creates.
    there is an optimum limit of megapixels for a particular sized sensor, where it peaks it's performance. beyond it pic quality deteriorates.
    20 mp is just a marketing gimmick & may help sometimes when creating very huge posters; but why would u use this camera for creating for that purpose????

  • @coreyrc
    @coreyrc 11 років тому

    Oh and I also need 1080p video w/ decent autofocus and image stabilization. Since I've already ordered the HX300 I need to give it a try, but if you have any suggestions of something that'd meet my criteria and provide better image quality than the SX50, I'm willing to give it a try.

    Nice review, you convinced me not to buy the Nikon, but definitely didn't convinced me that the Sony is better than the Canon.
    A few points to be noticed when comparing the Canon against the Sony:
    The Canon is lighter and smaller;
    It supports RAW file format;
    It has a flash shoe for an external flash;
    Actually, despite what you said, it does have a charger so you don't need to charge the batteries inside the camera;
    It has a supersonic zoom speed, that is why you noticed it's zoom as the fastest;
    It's display can do a FULL flip-out and is easier to see in outdoor conditions;
    It shoots faster (13 fps against 10 fps from Sony);
    It can record in slow motion (even 240 fps but not so good resolution).
    But I recognize that the Sony has 12800 ISO against only 6400 from the Canon.
    I'm not saying Canon is better, I'm only saying it has a lot of advantages over the Sony, so I don't understand how you came to the conclusion that the Sony is better in overall. I would like to understand why you said that because I'm doing a research and still don't know if I'll buy the Canon SX50 or the Sony HX300. I want a good camera to take pictures AND full hd videos.

    • @yayamaisara

    Thank's for the superb review, I have a Nikon P100 that's been great. I stopped into a Best Buy to play around with these three cameras and was surprised at how flimsy and toy like the Nikon P520 is. The P100 had much better build quality and it's 4 years older
    Your assessment of the Sony is spot on. I think one of those clear protectors might help reduce fingerprints. I'm stuck between the Sony HX300 and the Panny FV200.
    Thanks again for the great review.

  • @FocusCameraTV
    @FocusCameraTV  11 років тому

    The Hx300 is not an interchangeable lens camera and though you can find filters that do fit, and could get an adapter, it is not easily compatible with most filters. We suggest you take it into a store to see what works! We linked to a video of the HX300 being used with adapter rings in the info of our video as well.

    Achei a comparação entre as três câmeras com super zoom ótima. Eu realmente estava em dúvida entre esses três modelos, mas, já me decidi: a melhor relação custo-benefício me levou a desejar a Sony HX300. Só mais uma observação: o inglês do apresentador (A. White) é bem "limpo", parecia que eu estava assistindo um vídeo em português. Parabéns.

    Good point however 600mm equivalent is more than enough for most cases. This is also longer than most dedicated tele-lenses. Be aware that with tiny sensors and small apertures you will los a lot of resolution by diffraction

    I'd like to wait on the SX60 / HX400 (or whatever it ends up being) / any other next-gen competitors to be released, but I have to have whatever I get by the end of this month :\
    I've looked around but haven't found much - is there a concrete release date yet, or even an official features/specs list, out for the SX60HS? If it's unveiled on Aug. 21, I'm guessing it won't be released in time for my trip anyway. I had a DLSR (Canon EOS T4i) but I don't want to lug it around all day at DragonCon.

On the screen you can read 21 minute of recording free but when i record it lasts only 30 seconds. Do you know why? On the other video qualities the videos last a bit more but always they don't correspond To the time put on the screen. Ciao

But for the life of me, I can not find half of the Picture Effects, Miniature mode and all the HDR effects are not on my menu. All I can see is Part red, green, blue and yellow filters, Pop, Toy and SftH key in the Picture Effects menu. Nothing to access any other special effects that other people say are on the camera. This camera needs a proper manual. Anyone help?

    The weather issue won't be a huge factor - most of my pics will be taken indoors and in a fairly well-lit area (convention halls). I don't *need* a huge zoom like 50x, but I'd need something at least around 20x, and I need a screen that at least pivots (though flip-out would be preferred) Price is the biggest factor, really - I basically need the best cam I can get, with a spare battery, for $400US. If there's a small Point & Shoot (non-Super Zoom) that'd fit that and be better, I'd go for that.
