Model overview based on user reviews
The Canon PowerShot SX60 HS is a digital compact camera known for its impressive 65x zoom and excellent optical stabilization, making it ideal for wildlife photography and versatile enough for landscapes, portraits, and macro shots. It features a super wide-angle lens at 21 mm, RAW format support, and a port for an external microphone, enhancing its creative capabilities. Users appreciate its solid Japanese assembly and ergonomic design, though some find the small control buttons challenging. The camera excels in good lighting conditions but struggles with noise in low light due to its small sensor. While the video quality is advanced, the manual focus is poorly implemented, and the camera lacks a quick ISO change button and GPS module. Overall, it is a great choice for amateurs looking to grow in photography, offering a balance of features and performance, especially in well-lit environments.
Pros
Cons
Experience in photography - 43 years, has a 5D Mark II with three L-series lenses and a digital compact FT4 from Panasonic. The goal of acquiring an ultra-zoom camera arose to solve some practical tasks in business. Also, wanted to have a device that can be taken on trips. Studied the NH400 from Sony, P900 from Nikon and the discussed device. After lengthy wanderings around sales points and studying candidates, the choice fell on the SX60. The image on the matrix of 1/2.3 inch is practically identical for all studied exhibits, stabilization works well for all, and the ergonomics are good for all. But the Canon won with the best video function (in my opinion), the availability of RAW, "hot shoe," a jack for an external microphone, and a super wide-angle at the short end. -Decent 65x zoom. Very good optical stabilizer. Presence of "hot shoe". Ultra-wide, 21 mm angle at the short end. Advanced and quite high-quality video. Presence of RAW. Port for external microphone. Ergonomically good for small and medium hands. Wide creative possibilities. Solid Japanese assembly. No button for quickly changing the ISO value. It is impossible to delete frames in batches. Small control buttons. No GPS module, use Canon PowerShot SX60 HS week |
The Canon PowerShot SX60 HS camera is quite appealing but ambivalent. The zoom is impressive, and it has plenty of useful features. It's mainly geared towards wildlife photography, but it can handle landscapes, portraits, and macro shots as well. It does all of these quite well. Unfortunately, it is marred by a completely dreadful aperture. The problem is the small sensor, which is the source of all the issues. The camera needs good lighting! With proper lighting, it becomes faster, more accurate, and more responsive. Even without a tripod. ISO is capped at 3200 for a reason, going beyond that results in unacceptable noise. An acceptable working range is up to 800, but noise starts appearing at 400. A tripod will help a lot, but the camera's best friend is light. With bright light, you can even set the ISO to auto up to 3200, and the camera won't mindlessly ramp it up. Give it light, and it will try to be the best in the world!)) In good light, the burst mode is like a machine gun, which is impressive. However, this is only for jpeg; it processes raw quite slowly. Video recording is excellent. The sound is fine, with good stabilization, and there are no focusing issues in proper light. There is an option for fast-motion/slow-motion playback. Fans of falling droplets will love it)) Manual focus is terrible, just junk. It's distant and inconvenient. It seems they focused on enthusiasts and autofocus. They have completely cut off the aspiring professional segment and above. That's a real shame! The body is comfortable, the camera is light, and you get used to it right away. You can even shoot one-handed. But the buttons are too small. Shooting in the dark, by feel, can be difficult. In conclusion, the camera is smart and beautiful, but it's not great for "night-time" photography.)) Excellent - zoom, picture clarity, color rendition, stabilization, video, ergonomics, assembly. The matrix is very noisy, the camera does not like darkness, even just gray weather. Manual focusing is poorly implemented. The buttons do not have sufficient relief, it is difficult to work by touch.  Vladimir Titkov: use Canon PowerShot SX60 HS few months |
