Like the title says. How much would it cost to get the same range in lenses for a DSLR as the 65X zoom on the SX60HS.

Lets assume same minimum and maximum apertures and IQ, if that's possible.

I've been thinking about purchasing a DSLR but hate to give up that range.

There is no comparison IMO. Particularly if you throw in the built in teleconverter of the SX60 which doubles the effective range at the long end.

No it doesn't, it just crops the image and not as well as photoshop can resample it. If you are looking for good IQ you should disable all software teleconverters, I am not even sure why canon deemed them necessary.

Can I assume you are referring to digital zoom here?
