The Guys say...
The Canon SX50 HS has several significant advantages over the Nikon P510, including a longer zoom range, higher maximum ISO, in-camera HDR processing, continuous shooting that is twice as fast, a longer battery life, higher speed movie shooting, external flash support, longer maximum exposure time, and RAW support. Its 12-megapixel sensor does not offer significantly lower resolution than the 16MP sensor of the P510, because at these small sensor sizes megapixels don't matter very much. In fact, the larger physical pixels of the SX50 HS will lead to better low-light performance and lower noise.
