Thanks for sharing your experience. To my eye, I can't discern any notable difference here. I think you also have the SX70 which would be a more important comparison for me. Have you already shared that?
Yes, please. Your thoughts on the SX70, especially IQ vs SX50/60 and camera ergonomics. Thanks.
..Currently, ANAYV does not have the SX70 camera..
..ergonomically, all three cameras are about the same..
The one thing I disliked on the SX50 HS was the absence of a proximity sensor for the EVF. Drove me crazy....
Worse was the inferior resolution. It was behind the times
That drove me way more crazy than lack of eye sensor, to be honest.
That and the AF.
..the major differences are, SX50 (12mp), SX60 (16mp), SX70 (20mp)..
..if having a hotshoe is important, then get either the SX50 or SX60..
Never used the hotshoe so not a big deal. Always shoot outdoors in good light.
Same here. No use for the hot shoe...but it's nice to have, especially for those using a external mic. (SX60)
..if the quality of the EVF is important, the EVF gets better with each generation..
..if the buffer size is important, then get the SX70, which have an amazing buffer..
That's good to know. The SX50 was not a fast shooter or fast with the AF compared to my FZ300.
AF was terrible on the SX50. Among the worst of the superzooms I've used since 2004.
..if you have not seen this posting before, the below link have pictures from all three cameras..

Not a great deal of difference though I expected a better performance from the SX70 in this comparison.
Many of us were hoping/expecting better I.Q. than the newer SX models can deliver.
Only those who shot with the SX50 can fully understand this. Especially once one goes to ISO 400 or higher.
SX50 is the clear, undisputed winner, with regards to I.Q. of the last three SX models, IMHO.
That sensor was hard to beat..even now.
