Hi Dutch van Atlanta,

I see you took those shots using an SX60 but your list of previous gear says you had an SX700, which I believe has the same Digic 6 processor and sensor.
How does the image quality an IS compare? I guess you got the SX60 for it's increased range.

I did not like the SX700.  Image quality was dicey at best.  The SX60, at least my copy, is far superior.

I, initially, got the SX60 for the EVF.  The extra reach was a secondary benefit.

As much as I'm pleased with the SX60, the new G3X is catching my attention for the what should be better low light performance.  That is one area where the 7D + 17-55 f2.8 outperforms the SX60.
