So many better features of S1 compared to Canon SX50, and you recommend SX50.
Why ?!
Typo, corrected it.
I whish they could explain this with some facts as the price is almost the same and the build quality of the Fuji S1 is much higher…
DenisBob..
I wish you would explain why you recommend the Canon SX50 HS when the features of the Fujifilm S1 seem to be better in most categories? Seems like the S1 is the better camera.
Thanks for the alert I have updated the post, it was a typo error.
