"I had hoped this camera would complement my 50D as a super-zoom for outdoor shooting. The lens range on this camera is amazing. I wish the photos were better...especially in marginal (overcast sky) lighting...surprisingly grainy. I've had this camera for about a month and found the following flaws too hard to live with:
- Camera is somewhat hard to hold and some buttons are encumbered by the neck strap.
- No thread for filters...you have to buy an adapter.
- No remote control capability...I've not been able to find any such feature.
- Slow response time between shots.
- Does not produce 1080p video.
- CCD based...good for video but poor low light performance.
The differences in the 14+ Mpixel images between the SX30IS and the 50D are way too significant. I was hoping image qualities would be somewhat close; thus, mixing similar photos between the cameras would result in marginal differences. I hope Canon fixes these problems in the next SX release. Again, the range of the lens is absolutely amazing."
