Hey Marco
Did the fix make any difference to your camera??

Don't feel bad mzettie, even with the 65x on the SX60, sometimes I'm shooting "some white bouncing dot" only to find it's a beautiful Bufflehead or something. At ranges like 40x and up it's just digiscoping without the scope, and it yields "surprises" quite often...usually that "something boring" is "something wonderful."
No chance.Some day we'll see cameras like these with physically bigger sensors and we'll all just pass-out from excitement.
I agree about the weight increase. I wonder what the noise levels would be like if they used the same sensor technology as the top DSLRs.No chance.
Bigger sensors mean bigger lenses, and there's no getting round that.
For example, with a 1" sensor, you are looking at a Nikon 1 V2 with a Sigma 50-500 on the front of it, and good luck carrying that round all day (to say nothing of the cost).
Be happy with what you've got, and hope for better ISO/noise and IS on the next version.

I'll have to point out that the SX100 has already been and gone. After the SX90, they'll have to come up with a new model name.Of course, that would make this theoretical "Canon SX100" something like $1200 I guess...still a good price compared to getting 1350mm from a MFT or DSLR. Would become a niche camera and if they didn't get it perfect it would fail hard.

Magnification is not really the right term here.Also, if a prime 400mm lens gives approx 12X with a 1.6 crop sensor, how would the SX 60 at the equivalent magnification compare (again in good lighting conditions).
Many thanks
