Canon SX70 (or SX50) vs Sony HX400V (or HX300) (1 Viewer)

[GentleSol]

Hello all - I would like opinions and personal experiences in general between the Canon SX70 ($599 range), or SX50 ($200 range) vs. the Sony HX400V ($400 range) or even the HX300 ($150 range).
I own a Pana Lumix FZ300 (as well as a ZS200 for travel compact), but I want one with more "super zoom" while producing real good quality.
I thank you all in advance for your info and input.

One more thing, on the above options, I would also like info in regards of low light performance factor

Problem is, all those cameras will struggle in low light. Can only speak for the Canon options but I'd go sx70....I know old timers cling to the sx50 like the grail (😜) but I personally thought it awful but there u go. Not much help I know but the old saying "u get what u pay for" unfortunately rings very true in the camera world 🙄

I would say it's not a given that small sensor in bad light equates to awful picture. It depends on the colour of the bird and what's in the background.
