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.

I compared the SX210 with SX270 and SX270 with 12MP was softer and had less detail at every length than the SX210 with 14MP. Picture quality seems to get worse with the superzoom compact cameras, they only seem to get better at speed, more zoom and more features.

As someone who witnessed this phenomenon going from a Panasonic TZ5 to a Canon SX280, could this be in part due to more aggressive noise reduction in newer models? The TZ5 from 2009 could retain more detail, but it also retained more noise... (much more, in certain cases).
