I've heard the "step too far" comment before. I'm wondering if the SX60 is as 
good as the SX50 when only zoomed out to the SX50's maximum zoom. Apparently it 
has a higher resolution viewfinder, and my experience with the Canon S3 is that 
that is a very valuable thing. Sometimes just finding the bird in the 
viewfinder can be a challenge with an electronic viewfinder, a disadvantage I 
forgot to mention earlier.
