Oh...that would be me

Yes, I thought the lens on the SX60 was soft...it's not.

The sensor is not as good as the one in the SX50, but I guess we will never see such good I.Q. again from that era.

So I stand corrected...the lens IS sharp on the SX60...the sensor is it's weakness, as with all newer superzooms with 1/2.3" type sensors.

Oh well, can't have everything

No, we can't have everything best.

So, we are left with what we have to bring the best out of it.

My 2c: Sharp lens also on SX70 HS

SX70 HS - Watchful eye of the Meerkat Guard

SX70 HS - Timber Wolf female portrait

Enjoy.

..Yes, the 12mp sensors seems to hit a "sweet spot"..

..but truthfully, for me, the 12mp image size is not enough for my style of editings and post processings..

..for that, I much prefer the 16mp sensors..

..so it's really a give and take type of thing..

..this is the reason "why" I'm preferring the SX60 (16mp) and SX70 (20mp) for my pictures taking..

..as usual, your pictures are just fabulous..

..thanks for sharing & happy snapping..

..Cheers, John..

Indeed.

Yes. Do the best with what we have...and be thankful

I thought they both had same exact lens?

I think so. So it too is sharp

Many think so. This Canon version seems better than others. I think the sensor in the SX50 is better at higher ISO than the FZ200 I owned.

If you crop often, then the more , the merrier

Yes. Indeed.
