PowerShot SX60 HS Lens Recommendation

RossyHdz — Thu, 06 Jun 2019 02:47:11 GMT

Hello.. I have a PowerShot SX60 HS and I need lens recommendations. I’m not looking for something professional, just an upgrade for the original lens.

Can someone please help me?

The SX60 has a built-in, fixed lens and you cannot change it.

Bummer.. I was told it could be upgraded. Good thing I asked!

Thank you, John!

Whoever told you that you could use different lenses probably was referring to add-on lenses. They screw on to the front of the camers's fixed lens. They are junk so forget them. Not only junk if used incorrectly they can damage the camera. You got what you got.

The PowerShot SX60 HS has been discontinued.

In addition to that the SX60 HS already has an amazing zoom range for it's built in lens. What are you trying to do with your SX60 HS that you feel you need a new lens for?

That's right it is an amazing lens with the potential to take excellent pictures close up to very far away....like the moon.

Ebiggs,

Problably that’s what they were refering to and more likely I misunderstood. and even though the camera might be discontinued, I’m pretty happy with what I got.

Thank you for your input.

TTMartin,

Nothing specific, just wanted to make my camera even better. But it is pretty great as it is.

Thank you for your time!

Hi Rossy, I bet they are! I have the previous model the SX50 and have captured some really amazing shots of the moon both at night and during the day

John,

Do you have your pictures somewhere? It would be nice to see them, if possible.

Yes pictures of the moon, I had a couple of them printed on frameless canvas, the ones at night. The ones I took during the day are overly blue but that is exactly how it looked. The close-ups are at around 100X I would have to mortgage my house to buy a lens with that kind of zoom. I remember that post about that long Canon zoom lens that only a few were produced and B&H has one that is worth $180,000

I uploaded more of the pictures I took when I looked at the images I had I noticed many were missing.Many of my favorite ones. Outside of some cropping I did not do any post processing. I also did not know that the attachments I sent in my old replies were being saved? How do I prevent that?

Well, we were talking about pictures of the moon.

Nice pictures, John.

I saw them last night, I just didn’t reply anymore because I fell asleep. Long day at work.

Thank you, I put the other pictures that I liked more on here today. Don't work too hard!

Welcome back. I see you are still the same mean person.

Actually, Tom, you are the one who did not read all of the posts.
