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.

Different tools for different jobs...
My SX50 and Dslr do not compete with each other, they compliment each other.
I will never be able to afford a dslr lens that shoots the long zoom shots.  I will almost never take my dslr with 55-300 or 300mm alone on a hike... the sx50 comes with or usually by itself.
At the same time I am not taking my sx50 to school to take pics of the kids in the gym or classrooms, or to indoor soccer, or pull it out at a birthday party...
Have fun with your new dslr...   I love mine.   If you can find away to keep the sx60, at least consider it.
