I can't picture how a tall speed light on the hot shoe is going to throw light evenly to a close up macro subject, but for compatibility, there is at least one Yongnuo model that works in TTL with my SX50. Quite likely it would work with the '60' as well.
Yongnuo 565EX II - that's the exact model I bought even though there are III's and there are 568's, etc. because of someone else's success.

As we know, manufacturers add and drop features with every revision so I wasn't taking chances. If you are feeling lucky, the III revision has a USB for firmware updates, or move up to a newer model. I'm not that brave.
Yongnuo keeps a half decent website but it takes some searching.

I bought mine on Ebay last August for $55 new (that dealer source is not found now) and I'm quite happy with seeing the flash interact with the camera. I also have a wireless remote and it works the flash off camera but it's a standard cheapie so there's no off camera TTL. I just reminded myself to add a TTL extension cable to my next online order.

I'm done rambling Good luck.
