Have to say this about the SX50: I couldn't have gotten this with a shorter lens:
Young Great Blue Herons in a rookery, maybe 75 yards away. Fuzzy, but still recognizable.

Right on! Still lovin' the SX40 after all these years.
Stuff you really can't shoot with an iPhone;
Picked Baby Buzz, handheld, out of the crowd at around 130 yards over seven years ago...

Little red bird in Maui, also handheld, at around 50-55 yards about five and half years ago...

Big red moon, 2 second exposure w/ timer on a tripod, at about 239,000 miles from January of this year...

When iPhones can pull these shots off, *maybe* I'll consider not taking a camera...

IOW, I'll likely get a SX90*, before trusting the iPhone 14 with all photo tasks.
*Canon is probably gonna have to rejigger their numbering system soon, so I don't know what the real model number is gonna be.
