Personally, Im still not decided on HX50/HX60 vs SX700 as an upgrade over my SX230. I think any newer superzoom will probably have worse IQ than my SX230.

As the owner of an SX230HS and an SX700HS, I can tell you from first hand experience that the SX230HS has a better IQ. However, that 30X optical zoom is a very nice feature of the SC700HS.

At full zoom on the 230 and an equivalent zoom on the 700, there is a significantly better IQ with the 230 - especially when viewed at 100%. Disappointing.

My friend owns a SX230 and a SX700 and said the same thing, the SX230 is much better, and we put that down to the fact that it has the 12mp sensor.  But the question is, if you view the 230 and 700 image at the same size, do they then look about the same quality.

I have a IXUS255 (12mp) and just bought a SX600 (16mp) and the IXUS is better, but when viewed at the same screen viewing size then it is not so apparent.
