Cheap/Budget Superzoom Options? (1 Viewer)

Doing some further reading on the Canon SX60, it appears it has a lower IQ than the P610/P900. [...]

You can compare and download test shots here. For a while I had considered the SX60 and the P900 as a possible upgrade to my Canon SX50. For watching waders 150m away the P900 was/is tempting. The SX60 isn't so heavy, will typically suffice to ID birds. Canon's offer good value. Read some user reports, visit the Flickr site to search for "P900 birds", watch youtube videos like this one.
 
I ended up going for a used P610. It was the best price of any of the models of interest I could find. I added the imagr quality will be quite a bit better than my old Fujifilm 30x, so hopefully I get it soon.

Thanks for the advice.
Justin
