Pre-training Session Images at Intaka Island, Cape Town

| Environmental Education Centre Intaka Island : Canon PowerShot SX50 HS |
Canon PowerShot SX50 HS in ActionWhile waiting for one of my clients for a Canon Birds in Flight photography training session at Intaka Island yesterday, I took out my 2012 Canon PowerShot SX50 HS for a few images around the island. With good light and some patience the camera delivers good RAW (CR2) processable images in Adobe Lightroom.

With its 12-MP sensor (2012) and RAW file support the Canon PowerShot SX50 HS can still deliver a few reasonable images.
The older Canon PowerShot SX50 HS is effective in good light. The Image Stabilisation at 50x zoom works remarkedly well for such a small sensor camera attached to a '1200 mm' lens.
Note: The SX50 HS is not a DSLR camera. The 50X zoom lens is the only lens permanently attached to the camera. The latest PowerShot SX HS model is the Canon PowerShot SX70 HS - be aware that the SX70 HS does not have an external hotshoe for Canon Speedlite flashes.
