Thanks for that post and those great images . What are these on again ?

I really don’t want to end up going down the slr route again with bags of lenses to carry so I think I’m going to sell this on and get the sx70. I just got it as an inexpensive trial to see what zoom was like and the general feel of a bridge camera .

this sx530hs has no view finder , no raw etc but it’s been good to get out snapping again

EOS M6 mark II. It’s a mirror less though, lens swaps. The M is sort of a large sensor power shot that you can swap lenses on. I hate bags, often I’d go out with just a 18-150 on it, or, say 55-200 + 11-22, etc, where I pocket a lens, no bag. 22 pancake and 18-150 is an excellent example.

Canons lacking in the bridge camera department. Their best option is the SX70 HS, but again, small sensor. You may be dissatisfied with the output. I’m on another thread about that very subject... It’s a hard one.

Essentially you have:

SX70 HS = reach but small sensor

FZ-1000 = reach, larger sensor but non canon colors, DFD focusing

EOS M = small but lens swaps

Canon never followed up with a G3X mark II, but rumor has it the mark I was a sales flop, so it’ll probably never happen leaving you with one of the above choices.

It's always good to think of and have options.

Here is two out-of-camera jpgs from my SX70.

They are full-size, and are not post processed.

(Note: my SX70 uses the Hoya HD3 lens filter.)

..

(1) SX70 @ 21mm (widest)

(2) SX70 @ 1365mm (longest)

..

Cheers!

Looks good to me. Good light = good results on smaller sensors.

I’ve thought about an SX70 for reach, but I’m HUGE on 24-70 as that’s what I shoot these days. Again, not too shabby.
