Canon SX50 HS receives Dpreview and Dxomark reviews

The Canon Powershot SX50 HS is the first 1/2.x" Canon superzoom that (finally) offers RAW capture out of the box - perhaps pressured by other superzooms with RAW (Panasonic FZ-series, Fuji HS-series). With this new feature, the SX50 HS is generating more curiosity interest and the curiosity interest is translating into more and or earlier reviews. The last couple of days the camera received two high profile reviews:

+ dpreview with DC Resource review and discussion

+ Dxomark test results and discussion and comparisons

+ last week, it was reviewed by Luminous Landscape

For more opinions on the camera, check the list of completed Canon SX50 HS reviews. As of the time of writing, there are 13 available (including the three mentioned above).

As of the time of writing, the camera is priced at around $430 at many retailers including Amazon. Or if you prefer extra accessories at the same price, you can get it at Adorama.
