Here I will publish a little about my camera. It is not an SLR type camera, though it looks like one, only much smaller. It is a Canon Power Shot SX 50 HS. One of a new breed of "super zoom" so called point and shoots. It does not have an interchangeable lens and it does not have the larger image censors of the larger cameras. It does however shoot "raw' It has many advanced features, the best of which is a stabilized 50X zoom. That is equivalent to a 1200 mm focal length on a 35 mm. Most of the folks with the big fancy NIkons and Canons have no more that a 400 mm zoom, even if they spent thousands of dollars. Here are some pictures of the camera.
The camera is really full-featured. Note the optical viewfinder and the accessory hot shoe. It has almost every kind of control one could think of. I'm finding it fun to use the burst mode of 13 shot/sec. That is good for flying birds. Sport mode is much slower at about 2 shot/sec
There is much more to tell and I want to talk about a marvelous book I found that is actually about a different Canon camera, but is very useful for the SX50
I'm going to look around for some reviews and such on the web and hopefully put the links in here:
