I have different friends with the SX50 & 60, & from what I've seen of the
results, in my opinion the SX60 is clearly better.
I have the P900, I'm happy with it & I disagree with the step too far
comments, in reasonable light, I hand hold it no problem.
I agree with Peter's comment about flight shots & manual focusing being hard
on these compacts, but perhaps bloody hard or nearly impossible might be a
better description.
Cheers, Steve

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.
