I switched back and forth many times with all these shots, at both large and full-size. I did not see what I was hoping would be an improvement with the SX70. The SX50 photos carried more detail and contrast than those of both the others, with the SX60 coming in second.

This bears out what I have generally seen in looking at several hundred photos from each on Flickr. Thanks for providing these, even though it ends my interest in the SX70.

Eleven years ago, when I bought an SX1, I didn't have the advantage of seeing comparisons like these and had to test the camera for 10 days, before I sent it back. I'd had such good results from my S5 from two years earlier, that I'd expected better.

My comments will not likely be regarded favorably by many on this forum, but they are based on what my bonafide personal evaluations have been. I know that you have done your best to present these examples as accurately as possible and did not alter them to show any of the three cameras any differently than with their true capabilities.

..Thanks very much, Stephen!

..yes, all three are very similar, and also very capable..

..there are a few minor differences between them..

..but the most noticeable difference is the viewfinder, the one on the SX70 is just a pleasure to use..

..and for those needing a hotshoe, the SX60 (or the SX50) are the way(s) to go..

..thanks for commenting on this..

..happy shooting my friend,

..Cheers..
