I upgraded for the simple reason that Canon moved the timer OFF the dial. I'd invariably hit it if I wasn't looking directly at it. A timer is something I rarely use and turning it on when I didn't want it annoyed me no end.

Yes, that dial has been a bit of a problem.  Always inadvertently pressing the outer part with the thumb base.  I partly cured that with a stuck on small pad cut in a crescent  shape up against the outer edge of the dial.  That was on my SX10, SX40 and current 50.  Can't remember if the 60 was a problem.
