LCD, viewfinder and video
Composing and viewing images across a number of situations is aided by the articulation of the 2.8in LCD screen. It is moved from a hinge point on the side of the camera and can be viewed from high and low angles, as well as from the front of the camera. The resolution of the screen has been upped from 230,000 dots on its predecessor to 461,000 dots, which brings the camera up to speed with some of the competition. However, a class-leading model such as the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V uses a screen that is both bigger and with a higher resolution.
The SX50 HS also has an EVF, which has a basic 202,000-dot resolution. Its display is not nearly as crisp, bright or responsive as the best EVFs around, but it is useful guide for composition when conditions are too bright to see the LCD screen clearly.
