With the recent announcement of the Canon's SX70 HS I've read a lot of bad words on its predecessor SX60 HS. This and that with common denominator almost as "awful".

On the other hand I spotted one Flickr account, by Mr. Helm (USA), where I can find some very good images, even excellent ones.

So I'm wondering, is this Canon's cam really such a miss for Canon ... or maybe not?

Any user insights would be appreciated.

It was very encouraging to see all these photos by Gary Helm, taken with the Canon SX60. If you go to page 3 on his photostream, the shot of a male wood duck is outstanding. Be sure to call up the largest size of it, as its clarity is not a bit compromised. Another good thing, is that if you go back several pages, he presents similar images of his subjects, taken with an SX50. I can't see any difference in the two groups.

Speaks more highly of the SX50 than the SX60?
