if ur main photography just on concerts and macro, definitely go for mega zoom compact camera and no need dslr.. fz200 is good for u because u can zoom to 24X at f2.8.. and it's macro can close up up to 1cm

Bro, how do you do that???

Canon PowerShot? Can do it on a PowerShot N?

Not yet

OK. What about Nikon? Do you need any special kind of software to do that?

Another model from fuji that could be considered is the Finepix HS50EXR. Has most of the functions of a DSLR. Though still a small sensor but slightly larger then the other bridge at 1/2". Has hybrid autofocus (phase and contrast combine for faster focus). Probably won't beat a micro 4/3 or DSLR in the picture clarity departmet but would be pretty flexible and lot cheaper and lighter then lugging around multiple lenses.

I think why SX50 excels compare to the rest of superzooms is its SUPERZOOM!

Only SX50 able to zoom up to 200X in camera. That said, you are able to see what you're shooting without depending on luck in post processing.

You may argue 200X digital zoom is crap but look:-



Thats Jupiter in all its glory surrounding by its Galilean moons screenshot from SX50 video and that's not even in full resolution.
