I've been following threads about the Canon SX60 and the previous model, the 
SX50, and I keep coming across people who hate their SX50 and prefer to use 
their old SX50. Image quality problems, I think, and I haven't read any 
explanation for them. I don't know if the problem is just that people don't 
know how to handle a lens that long.

Is anyone here using an SX60 with good results?
