DPreview's review of the Nikon P950 mentions the Canon SX70, but does not compare the two. No review yet of the SX70? I have an aging SX50, which I keep in the kitchen were I can grab a bird-feeder shot, but for out-and-about birding I'd like a newer long zoom. I never liked the SX50, because of its tiny EVF, and badly-arranged controls (frequently hit the self-timer button when in a hurry to get a shot). Is the SX70 better? Is the IQ as good as the SX50?

Looking at numerous postings I think I would deduce that the image quality went down hill after the SX50 without any doubt. The chase for reach and pixels outran the sensor size.

When the SX60 came out, I remember reading that the IQ wasn't as good as the SX50's.
