Re: Upgrading from SX40

Received the new sx60 today and was hoping to try it, break it in over the weekend.  Unfortunately the weather forecast where I am doesn't look to cooperate.  Oh well.

But here is one of the last photos to be shot with the sx40.  Its a Gadwall Duck out in the middle of a large pond.

Re: Upgrading from SX40

I can see why it's a favorite. I have taken some shots with my SX40 over the past few years, that were keepers for me also.  When I get a new zoom, I am going to give the SX40 to my grandson.  Thanks.

Finally got out today to test the sx60.  Found the shutter fast and the zoom perfect.  Shot in Jpeg+RAW.   Below is a shot that was cropped and edited in PS Elements.  Any feedback is fine.

Some additional editing was done to improve on the duck photo.:

I never had the SX40 but had the 50 and 60 and from my tests, the 50 had better IQ so I sold the 60 and gave the 50 to my brother who loves it now.

I also sold my SX60. At a loss. I was just happy to be rid of it.
