Canon SX60HS in Action
I finely found the section in the manual for my problem However, It reveals that there is no solution. On page 106 of the manual it shows my options and the option I need is not there. So the way I read it I cannot shot multiple images and then review them. I only have an option of reviewing... -
Canon SX60HS in Action
How do I ungroup my photos so I can preview them on the camera I have recently joined the ranks of the SX60 owners. I have had a 50 since 2014 but have worn them out having birded and traveled extensively in the past four years taking about a half million pictures. (mostly deleted :) I... -
Canon SX60HS in Action
It does seem that the people that are OK with the 60 have no or little experience with the 50. Going on you experiments, I am glad I have two 50s. My oldest and most used 50 seems slower on the focus that it used to, but it has been in service for over two years now and I am certain it has... -

Apples to apples comparrison Hello Crazy Fingers, I have been lurking for some time on this subject. It was your observations that compelled me to purchase a second SX50. I purchased my first one at Best Buy because I wanted to purchase an extended warranty, something I never do. That was... -

Spring in Oregon with the SX 50 I have had an SX 50 for two and a half years and it is in my hand almost every day. Here are some recent shot. The White Wagtail was a long way off, hand held at 1800 mm and the bird never stopped moving. This was the 11th record of this bird in Oregon. Left... -

SX 50 woes I concur, I have owned the SX50 for 13 months and about ten days ago, It died during a flying bird sequence using the sports mode, which is what I use for flying birds most of the time by the way. The last four frames were black and there was no image through the lens from that... -
Canon SX60?
improvements, My SX50 died today. I have had it for 13 months. I rarely buy service contracts but knowing how much I would use this camera, I purchased it at Best Buys in the US and bought the three year contract. We shall see how well they honor it. I calculate that I have used the camera... -

Flying birds I dropped in and saw the flying bird posts, ran across this one from early last month and thought I would and it to the mix female Norther Harrier I often use the sports mode when attempting flying photos and have had mixed results. -

Nice Shots Josh, I wish I had had my SX50 back at the beginning of last year when I was in Florida. -

Eddy, glad she saw the light, my wife also designated my camera as my birthday present. Once a long time ago I tried to get a DSLR by reminding my wife that back in the day when I was shooting film with a SLR, I would often spend at least $500 on film and developing when we went on vacation so... -

Still loving the SX50, answers to a couple of recent questions. I wanted to comment on two recent posted questions. First, the question of battery life. I find this camera to be as good or better than any camera I have had when it comes to battery life. I actually have a total of four... -

The Merlin and the Chickadee I was out for a walk again this afternoon when a Merlin shot past over my head and landed in a distant tree. I guess he was in attack mode and snagged some lunch before landing. The camera continues to impress me, the pictures are quite grainy but again, the camera... -

Zoom setting There has been some discussion concerning setting the zoom on C1 or C2 and some have indicated that they want it to zoom out to be ready. I have set mine to zoom to 600mm thus giving enough telephoto to see the bird good so I can get it centered and then zoom the rest of the way...
