Thank you very much for the time and effort you have put into the SX60 and SX70 so far. I am amazed at the sharpness and IQ of the last one at ISO 1000 without pixel peeping. Did a little noise noise reduction on it and was quite happy with the result. Now here's the thing: I see you have all the "super" super zooms one can buy! I can get a SX60 and a P900 for about the same price. I am not into birding (yet), more landscapes and wild life and anyhing that catches the eye. Do you have any recommendations from your experience with these two cameras. I am a bit weary of the P900 because I know that initially there were some LCD screen problems if i remember correctly. Is that something of the past?

..They are both good cameras (SX60 & P900)..
..it really depends on one's own preferences..
..I have a tendency to go with the SX60 for casual snappers, as I'm really impressed with the pictures it takes..
..however, if going to be shooting lot's of birds & wildlifes, especially at the long end of the zoom range, then the P900 will have an edge..
..both cameras will make you happy..
..Cheers..
