I cannot decide between these two cameras as I''ve already skimmed through some reviews. But I
am personally leaning towards a Canon sx50 due to the reviews that I've read and since I already own a NIKON DSLR D80 I wanted to give Canon a shot since I fell in love with the image quality that my friend's canon dslr photos takes. I'm not planning to go for a dslr since I wanted something lightweight and easy to carry around rather than having to carry my D80 with me all the time and it's so heavy! Also I know I should not be comparing a dslr camera quality to these cameras because Dslrs do produce much more of a richer photos but I just wanted something light and that still takes great quality photos that's a close call from a DSLR, and a great battery life. I also wanted to stray away from a digital point and shoot camera as It's durability doesn't last at all that long for me like my Sony cybershot so I am looking for a good replacement.So far from reading some reviews I've learned that…
Canon SX50 HS
Pros
longer battery life, flipview of the screen (to do self portrait shots) and I think that is a plus!
downside:
12 megapixel? (or should that be good ?)
whereas
Nikon Coolpix P510:
Pros
has a higher megapixel of 16 ( Which I heard that the higher the megapixel is the bad it is, is this true? how so ?) Much cheaper than sx50 HS! Great picture quality! (from what I've seen on instagram).
Cons
Read a review that the video on a Nikon coolpix P510 is bad and that there are times that it won't focus.
Note: I am not a professional photographer, just an amateur one !
