I upgraded from my Kodak "Z 1012-IS" digital to this cannon sx60 and I am very impressed with it. It does everything I want it to plus it has RAW. The distance for the zoom is awesome 65X WOW. I think I seem my relatives on the planet Mars LOL. The stabilizer is good also. The only thing to me this doesn't have is is a touch screen which is ok for my needs. The video is great on it also . If ya need some info go to you tube type in "cannon sx60 review" and see everything for yourself. If you don't want to miss a picture and have to change lenses often this will work for you. Great price at $370 but of course you need to buy the accessories to make it a complete camera . I suggest 2 things,,, when you purchase this camera or other cameras. 1- make sure you see in the listening there is a manufacture warranty because I only had a 14 warranty and if anything goes wrong with it now I have to pay for it to get fixed . 2- I'd check out a package deal if you can afford it that the camera and accessories comes all together. Ya might save a few $$. I only purchased the camera /charger/and 1 battery and will pay more for accessories . Most important tho is the warranty and some auctions don't have a 1 year warranty. Best of luck and happy shootingRead full review

1.) When compared to my Sony DCS-400V (50x zoom) the Sony Leica lens are like comparing Swarovski crystal to glass. The view using the Sony viewfinder is crisp and clear, and the Canon has a slight dullness. 2.) The viewfinder in the Sony is larger and bright, and I prefer it for all photos. Canon states that their viewfinder is only good for bright situations; and even then it's smaller and difficult to see your subject. 3.) I read in online reviews that a plus for the Canon is that it is better in low light conditions, but I find it's not much different than the Sony; which doesn't perform well in low lighting. 4.)The Sony is well balanced and fairly easy to hold steady even in full zoom, and the slightly longer zoom Canon is almost impossible to hold steady on a bird or small object at, or near, full zoom. 5.) The Sony is quick to take a shot and easy to focus, and the Canon delays once focused, and is sometimes difficult to focus. 6.) When tracking a bird in flight, the Canon is nearly impossible to hold still and follow it's flight. It's also nearly impossible to see distant birds in flight, and zoom in on it. With the Sony I can easily see distant birds in the sky with the viewfinder, zoom in, and follow it's movements. 7.) On full zoom with the Sony, my photos were better than the Canon on closer shots. If I hadn't used the Sony, I might consider the Canon an ok camera, but the Canon doesn't seem as nice as even my earlier Sonys. I don't recommend the Canon, but unfortunately I'm stuck with it.Read full review

Having owned it's predecessor the SX50, and several DSLRS, this camera is a great improvement on the SX50. It's easy to use and gives excellent image quality, though still falls short of dslr quality. But when you factor in the reach and ease of use it's a no brainer. I usually shoot in one of the PASM modes on my dslrs , but this camera gives excellent results in auto mode! And I was also surprised by it's low light image quality. Highly recommended!

There are some excellent, simple, pocket-size cameras around This is NOT one. It is not close to being pocket-sized and is hefty. If you're looking for a full option, highly technical camera, this is NOT that one, either. It's what is called a "bridge camera," somewhere between the simplicity of an easy point and shoot and the complexity of a multiple lens, SLR camera. It is challenging to someone like me, not a camera geek, whose prior camera was about 20 models old, a PowerShot S1 IS. The SX60, compared to the S1 IS, which is the earliest model in this particular Canon line, is much more complex and requires a steeper learning curve--IF you want to master all the camera can do for your picture taking. The camera is still very new to me, and I've not had a lot of experience shooting in the various modes. Especially, I've not done much on the fully "Auto" mode. From what I see, the pictures are, as you'd think, a significant leap forward in detail and all else. I'll suspend judgement on the automatic aspect until my wife (who uses the camera that way) compares her pictures now to the ones she took with the early PowerShot. My fully manual and fully adjusted function pictures are, in my opinion, excellent. I can take better pictures in more lighting conditions. I get much, much better detail. So I'm a happy camper. It's just too early to give a definitive opinion. I think the major drawback, for me, is the amount of function that has to do with wifi connectivity and keeping up with the latest computer technology. While I'm somewhat into that, the reason I get a camera is to take pictures. My ideal would be this same camera minus a bunch of bells and whistles that have little to do with picture taking. They add to the complexity without adding to the picture taking. Read full review

This camera is light weight and easy to use. It came with all the excessories I need. It has a very nice zoom and takes great pictures. I wanted a camera that I could pack and take with on trips and also take on nature hikes to take quality pictures. This is the camera for me. I love it.
