Our verdict

Those photographers who are concerned about the impact the wide zoom has on image quality can rest easy, because the Canon PowerShot SX50 HS puts in a solid performance. Furthermore, Canon has wisely addressed the areas where the SX40 HS was found wanting and brought the SX50 HS up to speed, with noteworthy changes including raw capture, a wider ISO range, improved LCD screen and, of course, the class-leading 50x optical zoom. I expect the SX50 HS to be a popular camera indeed.
