Re: I am returning my SX60

I have owned the SX50 and the HX400, although when I shoot this class of camera I mostly shoot the HX100.  I have looked at a lot of SX60 photos.  I was "waiting for" the SX60 as a possible upgrade for my now old HX100.  In my opinion the SX50 is the best IQ of this group.  The HX400 IQ is good, provided you don't do pixel peeping.  There is a lot of sharpening and noise reduction going on and its not pretty to pixel peep it.  On the other hand the operational features of the HX400 are super, vastly better than the SX50 or 60.  The HX400 IS is great, the MF works well, if you want it, but the AF is also fast and spot on.  I love the ring as a left hand zoom control. The evf/lcd refreshes during 10fps burst, making that very useful.  The in camera panorama works well.
