If you're shooting at ISO 80 (for best image quality), you're going to need hands of stone or a tripod in order to get a sharp photo. Conventional wisdom says that you need a shutter speed of 1/focal length in order to get a sharp photo, though you get a few stops back thanks to image stabilization. What I'm getting at here is that you may need to crank up the ISO sensitivity in order to get that sharp photo, unless you're using a tripod.'

Just got myself an SX50 what an awesome piece of kit. The best way I found was to have it in sports mode, it can rattle 7 off in a second and when you look back at the pics only the 1st pic will be scene when your flickin through.
