The SX50 HS was introduced 12 months prior to the P600 which means that they are both of a similar generation. Both cameras have the same body design (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before getting into a full comparison, here is a brief view of how the SX50 HS grades vs the P600 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Canon PowerShot SX50 HS and Nikon Coolpix P600. The whole galleries are available at Canon SX50 HS Gallery and Nikon P600 Gallery.

If you are looking to carry your camera, you will have to take into account its weight and proportions.

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are utilising at that moment. The following is a front view measurement comparison of the SX50 HS and the P600.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability score of the SX50 HS and P600 is 65 and 65 respectively.

Generally, it is tough to picture the difference between sensor sizing purely by checking technical specs. The photograph below should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX50 HS and P600.

As you can tell, both of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different resolution. You should expect the Nikon P600 to give more detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older SX50 HS is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
