This is a very interesting discussion waterwingz and grimlock.

$120,000 hmmmmm. Would image quality be that much better?

and grimlock with your combo of long lens and teleconverter would quality be better?

Obviously yes, but worth it?

I asked this question because I'm selling my SX60-HS and will buy a entry level/enthusiast DSLR of some sort. Haven't decided on Canon Nikon or Sony.

Obviously I can't afford to have the reach my SX60 has.

Of course on an APS-C camera, a 750mm will equal 1200.

Actually TOTAL cost is about $4000-4500 for canon setup. Nikon with a D7200 would probably be about the same. Its very important to understand teleconverters don't to well on APSC bodies. The canon 7DMII and Nikon D7200 being the only exceptions I know of. The big quality gain would mostly be observed in low light and BIF. Wildlife that is stationary and in ample light is not as big of difference. Also, even though modern EVF have come along way they are still not the best for tracking BIF and the ones on the sx60 and sx50 are a little......well little. BIF are possible on superzoom cameras but just harder. If you really into wildlife photography a good DSLR is worth it but you can still make great photos on the sx60.
