Re: Pictures • Brand New, 2nd-Time-Around, Canon SX50

Thank you very much, everyone, for your responses and encouragement.

@doctorxring, I'm always happy with my SX50. I felt I was working hard with the SX60 I owned a week, just to match the SX50 results. But money enters the equation, as the SX50 can sometimes be purchased for just half the price right now. My brand new one cost me $285 plus tax.

Should there be extremely good sale prices on upcoming Black Fridays or Boxing Week sales, I might re-buy an SX60 if I can find one at, say, $450 or less. At the moment the SX60 is $580 plus tax here.

If a person could afford both cameras, I think continually trying for "personal better" photos, alternating between the SX50 and SX60, would be fun. I did learn more about my SX50—even though I'd previously used one for some 15 months—during the short time I was attempting to tweak my SX60.
