Neither.  They both do a fairly good job.  The 60 certainly has better ergonomic features but as for IQ it seems to be a draw.

I dug out my prox 2x3' test board and took 3 shots with each at full tele, mid range and full wide then eliminated the excess.  Surprisingly they all looked alike.  All were hand held with some "arm-against-a-wall" support and all SOOTC.  No pp.  The shooting range didn't allow any more distance so the SX60 long shot is cut down a bit.

Overall, I am getting to like the SX60 and may even find some use for that

ultra tele end.  Just ordered a monopod and a hood.  It seems to have found a home.
