    Fantastic Versatile Camera!
    This camera is loaded with features. Here are a several: First, the User Interface is very intuitive. Everything you select gives a brief description of what it does. Once you’re familiar with it, the ‘function guide’ can be turned off in the menu. Second, there is an ‘In-Camera Guide’ that makes up several guides: Shoot/playback, Icon, Operation, and Troubleshooting. Third, the camera has wireless capability which allows you to transfer pictures to your PC without removing the SD card, connect the camera to your smart phone to use the phone as a remote to control the camera or transfer pictures to your smart phone, and you can view pics on a TV via wifi. There is also a Movie Mode on the dial that is a little different than just pressing the movie button on the back. The Movie mode has an intelligent auto mode or you can select a particular scene mode to shoot video. There are plenty of filters to play with and you can retouch photos in-camera. The HX-50 is extremely feature rich (it took me a couple of days to familiarize myself with it). For example: if you take photos using the burst mode they are grouped together in the playback mode and if you tilt your camera left or right the burst of photos will play like a movie clip; or you can change the focus setting to allow yourself to manually change the focus spot before taking pictures.I love cameras but try not to compare apples to oranges -not all cameras are equal. Manufacturers build cameras with a particular consumer in mind. It is up to you to figure out what you want in a camera and then find the camera that suits your needs. Look at what your habits are. Do you want to lug around a DSLR with multiple lenses? Do you wish you had a larger zoom but still want the camera small? Do you like not having to worry about the settings and just snap a nice picture? Maybe you do, but have decided you want to start learning how the settings (f-stop, etc) really work and don’t know where to start. Or maybe you just need a nice small well rounded camera you can carry with you all the time. This camera has manual settings that will allow you to start expanding on your photography skills and it also has plenty of filters and features for you to experiment with. No it doesn’t have RAW capability and no, you will not get DSLR quality photos. But what you will get is a very capable camera that handles weird lighting situations extremely well, takes fantastic macro shots, and great zoomed shots that you will want to share with family and friends. And if you decide to decorate your house, instead of buying artwork, these photos can be made into large prints to hang on the wall.
