I have read many reviews and found out that there were many negative the first 3 months. Since I think the attitude has changed. I know that Canon is not making updates to the software on their compact cameras, but there may have been quality problems with production beginning.

The 21 mm         wide is fine, sharp from corner to corner.

100-1000 mm     very sharp and lots of detail.

Max tele             Very good if you can hold the camera steady.

Sharp tele can be done without tripod. If you have been soldier, you might have learned shooting techniques.

Stand with legs apart, let the camera hang around the neck using the strap, open the screen turn it to the side, support the camera firmly against your stomach, focus on your subject, hold your breath, press the shutter button gently.

I've yoused this technique many times, it works better than holding the camera against your face.

Ergonimics.  Everything works well, though I would have liked to have buttons on the back raised slightly. I can not so easily notice them, but often have to look to get it right.

If you want to shoot in M mode you can select the desired aperture and shutter. If you combine it with auto iso you still get correct exposure.

I use it for trawelling, studio, nature, birds  -  yes everything

It is very good for macro 100-500mm very detailed and sharp

Therefore I bought:  better wide, tele, screen, lcd, less high iso compared to SX50

I am very happy with my SX 60
