Re: Canon SX70 vs SX50 — big differences?

Can't help on a comparison but it would be very interesting.  My old SX50 and older 40 are my mainstays as I sold the SX60 when a referb 50 come up.  Now await a better deal on the new 70.

The big problem with the SX50/40 is white burnout with narrow DR.  Often I need -1 t0 -1.3 when shooting ships with their white con tower and dark hulls where some detail is required in both.  I know, get a DSLR.  Been there,done that.  Not going to happen. 

I do hope the SX70 with it's many ergonomic improvements will improve the DR.  Other than that the hot shoe issue is a black mark for Canon.  I too look forward to a good direct SX50 /70 comparison. The SX60 was only a middle ground offering and is now of little interest to us old SX50 hold outs.
