Re: PowerShot SX70 vs PowerShot SX60

I've had two SX50s (the older one has developed lens extension issues after 150,000 images) and added an SX70 to my collection of cameras. Ever since I got the SX70 I've felt that the SX50s produced better images and comparison photos of the same subjects at the same settings confirmed that.

However, my aging eyes really appreciate the vastly better viewfinder on the SX70; the improved ergonomics are a plus as well. Now I've purchased a second SX70 and plan to sell my newer SX50 (2,500 images +/-) since I'm using the SX70 almost exclusively. Before I purchased the second SX70 I did comparison shots between that camera and my SX70 (very cooperative local camera shop that I've patronized for years). The new camera's images are comparable to the SX50's. Individual variation or has Canon made some modification to the hardware or software?
