Your experience with a Canon DSLR may have spoiled you. You can't compare the photo quality of your DSLR's sensor to a 2/3" Power Shot sensor. The Canon SX series are excellent cameras within their scope which is, extraordinary zoom range in a small package. I have owned a few of the SX series cameras. I now use the SX50 IS. I know I can't get the same IQ from it as my SL2, but I would miss too many great shots without the range of the SX50. As far as settings, I use Program mostly and adjust the ISO (trying to keep it as low as possible) and the exposure compensation dial after reviewing the shot. Don't expect much success at the long end of the zoom. You will need very bright conditions to tame that focal length and a low ISO for optimum IQ. I'm interested to read other replies to your question. It's a great camera, give it time and learn it's limitations.
It's all about keeping your expectations in check since it's small sensor has it's limitations. Btw, it's a 1/2.3 size sensor and not 2/3" size which is much larger.
Some quick suggestions as I have a SX50:
- stay with ISO 100 or 200 and 400 in a pinch
- shoot in good light
- spot focus for birds/wildlife
- brace (or tripod/monopod) if possible for stills and video.
- I prefer P and A modes. Learn the various Scene modes, they work. Macro is excellent
- Jpeg works best for me, set quality to
- Auto WB (white balance)
- I like Vivid color (more pop/contrast especially on overcast days)
- I use Super Fine jpeg setting
- At this stage (or any) don't spend time on shooting in RAW format which requires learning post processing software for little to no improvement on IQ
