Hi All,

Need help to choose a bridge camera. I have been a Canon user for so many years and for the last 5 yrs using sx50. I do a lot of Bird Photography and since my sx50 has started showing signs of ages want to upgrade it to the next camera (Bridge).

Currently, I am getting 50% off on SX60 so want to know is it worth upgrading to sx60 from sx50? I am looking for a camera with better image quality than my sx50?

P.S. I am not considering sx70 since it is very expensive.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Nandan

Went from SX50 to 60 to70 for upgrade.  Sent the 60 back after a 2 week trial and sold the 70.  The 70 was infact a big ergonomic upgrade but the IQ just wasn't there on my copy.  Some have had great success with the 60/70 but the extra long zoom did it in for me.  Always said if only Canon kept the 50 lens on the 70 they would have had a winner.

With the price at 50% off for the 60 and for your needs I believe it is worth a shot.  It just didn't cut it for me.  I still use the SX50 on occasion.  Went for the M50.  Hate the lens swapping but that's the only real complaint.
