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.

Interesting people looking at the some pics but seeing things the other way around with SX70 being better.

..I've had the SX50 for several years now, and is still a capable camera..

..but after the testings are done for the comparisons, I'm considering retiring the SX50 into storage..

..and plan to use both the SX60 & SX70 for future pictures taking..

..the key reason why, is because the 12mp does not fill my needs anymore, of course others may feel differently..

..both the SX60 16mp & SX70 20mp suits my needs better..

..and at this point, if/when a higher megapixel PowerShot camera comes out in the future, I'm not inclined to buy it, it's because the 16mp & 20mp sensors are enough for my needs..

..so everyone's needs, desires, and expectations are different based on personal preferences..

..and I'm glad to see in the camera world that we have choices..

..thanks for commenting on this..

..happy shooting my friend,

..Cheers..
