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

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.

Thank you very much!!! I was searching for a review of these three cameras for quite some time now. That video helped me to take a better view of the capabilities of these cameras. Thank you again. :)

the XS50 can be charged outside the cam in its outlet charger

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

thanks Andrew i would love to see you do the same with the new HX400v and P600

Great review! Thank you very much!

Very helpful! Great video

FYI friend the Canon SX50 HSdoes not have to be charged 'in-camera'. I have had one for over a year now and I still get blown away using it! Bravo Canon!

Wow. I was still having trouble deciding which camera to get, but those shots make me pull the trigger on the HX300! They look great!

very useful review. thanks!

This video was really really helpful !

me costo muchisimo decidir acerca de que camara comprar, ya que por lo que valen , no puedo darme el lugo de cambiarla si no me gusta... este video me ayudo bastante. al ver las comparaciones especataculares, opte por la canon sx50hs. y no arrepiento de nada, es exelente...

Very interesting and well presented review.

Your photos are superb! You have confirmed me in my decision to order this camera!

Hi may I get some help. Which one of them the best to buy it. I am looking for one good for pictures and Video

Nikon P520!

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.

Please make a direct comparison between the new models Canon SX50HS, Nikon P600 & Sony DSC HX400V. I am really confused to choose between these cameras.

Super camera demonstration VS test production! Great video creation congratulations too! Good day! 👍🍀🇭🇺🌞☝️

i like to know whether hx300 support all types of 55mm filters (eg:vivitar,hoya etc - nd,uv,cpl) without any adapters?? please reply asap thank u

Does Anybody know how long it takes for the camera to load the image after taking a few photos in sequence? Which one is faster in this

I know this is almost a year old, but could you do a follow up with the Panasonic and Fujifilm offerings in the price range?

hey man, why don't you make this kind of videos anymore ? i liked the intro and the edit. a very nice and simple review

After owning my SX50 for a number of years .I only just recently discovered that it is also a fine video camera as well .

Hello I have the canon sx50hs it does not need to be charged in camera and has a separate charger, which is better for image quality pot wise with the megapixel difference thank you

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.

beautiful shots, the HX300 was perfect for your wildlife photography!

Great view! thanks!

amigo que camara usas en las fotos de tu pagina web?

Great review Andrew.. KUDOS :)

could you a comparison with panasonic lumix dmc-fz200 vs tz 60 and vs canon powershot sx50 hs

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.

you should also have used fz200, hear a lot good about that

@Aisse Gaertner, what kind of filters do you use on your hx300 and what are the other after market products do you use? i have the hx300and i have seen your pictures on flickr way before this comment when i searced the model number on website. amazing shots you got there. what size filters do you use?

please say that whether manual focus is possible in nikon p520?????reply as soon as possible....

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.

I have the Nikon P520. Its a good camera but i was having problems when focusing on distant object. The visuals are great.

which one is the best for taking action shots?

Hi sorry for my English. Do you know.why on the hx300 the videos highest quality stop after 30 seconds even if i have an empty memory card 8g? 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

I have really enjoyed the video !!! ^__^ waiting for your next video!!

Great reviews. Thanks!

The info is appreciated, thanks so much, looks like the canon is winning my heart.

Great job! I thought you were fair and balanced on all three cameras.

Okay, good to know! So far, I haven't seen it, but it should be good whenever it comes out.

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.

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????

I got the HX300 last Friday. The lack of instructions supplied is annoying. Everything I am learning bit by bit. 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?

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.

Can you have 2 batteries and charge 1 in the camera and then charge the spare battery in the camera as well?

Thanks homie

Thanks a lot

CAN U SHARE FEW REVIEW FOR SONY DSC H300 PLZZZZ

It's weird, he talked everything better with Canon, and the end the best is Sony?

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

which one has better picture quality when uploaded to the computer

You said that for all the 3 cameras, you have to charge the battery in the camera? The Canon SX50 HS has a charger dock for the battery.

Cool i have a sx50 and it is a good pick.

Thank u very much

An effective review. My favorite is the Canon.

I own the SX50 its a great camera, also to correct, the SX50 can charge out of the camera with the provided charging dock. great tube though.

very nice review and unbiased

very beautiful, congratulations!

Yo he probado la canon, la sony y también la lumix fz200, y he optado por la sony por tener mayores ventajas que las otras dos, antes tuve canon y me parecia muy buena en las imágenes, pero esta vez sony la ha superado con su interfaz de usuario su modo automático y la opcion de zoom manual... los colores en este modelo ya han sido mejorados... si van a escoger la mas completa elijan dsc-hx300 sin duda

what about nikon coolpix p520 ? anybody have it ? please help me and share your experience

wow very nice! I wanna that camera!

I have owned the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX300/BC 20.4 MP Digital Camera with 50x Optical Zoom and 3-Inch Xtra Fine LCD (Black) for 3 years and I have won NUMEROUS Awards with it for my photography it is an Outstanding portrait camera , Mine dose have to be plugged into wall charger or computer to recharge but other then that ,I have no complaints except I need a new one and am scared to death others wont live up to my Sony, Yes I use other cameras I have Nikon 5200, Nikon 3100, Canon Rebel 5, and Canon ESO 80 D, I do fine art photography, portraits, Weddings and would not trade my Sony for anything, How can I have it refurbished .

I think Canon SX50 better because of external flash.

Sony Camera is the best HX300 is a beast! making beautiful pictures very good quality and looks beautiful. I got one :D

I LOVE the Canon sx50!!

which camera's image quality is better?

Exelent pictures dude amazing got the same cam

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.

Nikon Coolpix P520 video tutorial needed

Sony HX300 is best camera. I have already Sony DSLR, Really good picture quality. 20 MP and Focusing at zero milimeter ist good feature. Electronic view finder quality is ok not like DSLR A67. No Raw picture format.

All pics with the Sony HX300 ?? Very beautiful pics

Canon also has slow mo video and it does come with charger. Don't have to charger internally.

Does sony hx300 shoot slow mo???

Hi Andrew, You have done great job comparing these camera. Though I have a question Dose canon Sx 50 shoot raw pic

I got the Sony HX300, my first DSLR Camera :D Works fine and I love playing around with it but most of the time I film a blog with the camera facing me and uh kinda needing the full flip screen but overall works fine 9/10

Out of all the cameras, which one has the best auto-focus?

Which should I buy?all is. Good

nice to watch this vid and now i really get why i choose sony cam

you are right graham , the self timer is in a stupid place . the 240 fps is not worth using as the quality is not great , but i have used the 120 fps and its fine for general use. Not sure any camera in this price bracket will have full hd at 240 fps , is there such a camera at £ 280 quid ?

i hear the canon dose not have a mic in put

I have the sx50,great camera, you were wrong about all cameras batteries charge in camera, the sx50 has a charger and can be charged just by taking the battery out and putting it in the charger.

i have been using the canon t3i and sx50 hs for landscape and wildlife shots and have amazing results and the canon sx 50 battery life is good on mine i bought 2 wasabi batteries with a home charger and a car charger for around 20 bucks so plenty of back up batteries and get a charge from car in the field..if needed..

Great great great video

so yeah i need a quick respond i dont know what camera to buy the sony or the canon i love to make photos of nature and also of the moon, wich one is the sharpest when fully zoomed in and which one is the most stabilized

Good comparison but correction : Canon HS50 has a battery charger in the box (in UK) so can charge out of camera.

Definitely, I will go for Canon!

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.

Yes I have sx 50hs

First I was confused which to buy nikon, canon or sony. But the nikon was out from the race when you told that the auto focus is slow and the lense vibrating is not a good sign. I choosed canon and i am fully satisfied.

All comes down to image quality Andrew You can include all the bells and whistles you want..Gps Wifi..you name it but in the end the Canon's image quality blows the other two out of the water

Thanks, we also have FujiFilm HS50EXR

I keep NEX-6 with 18-200 mm for prime and low light and HX300 for superzoom (I have the HX1 X1.7 lense so I realy have optical X85 or 2040 mm !). Dan

which one is cheaper? sony hx300 or the canon sx50?

Nikon p520 has the sharpest lens go with that one for photos, the other two are better at video go with those for better focusing in video.

The Canon SX 50 has a separate battery charger, so the battery doesn't have to be charged "in camera". It also has much better image quality than the other two cameras reviewed.
