Re: Some more (last) questions on the SX40 HS...

Unless you really need raw, a little more zoom, a tiny bit better EVF / LCD and reportedly slightly faster focus I would not spend more than double on the SX50hs.  Personally I can't justify going for the 50 over my 40.  Focus problems have been overstated, using raw on this type of camera is not worth the effort, the tiny EVF/LCD upgrades are so small they are still debatable and the extra zoom is a joke.

Perhaps the 60 will get us up to where it should be.  If it were my call I would go with the best deal on a 40.  But it isn't my call. You will no doubt get many responses that differ.
