Canon PowerShot SX60 HS

[Metal]

Is there any hope we will be seeing the Successor of SX50HS in upcoming NAB show ?

Planning to buy a Bridge Camera on April next month and Canon was always my first choice.

SX 40 HS Release Date: September 2011

SX 50 HS Release Date: September 2012
And SX 60 HS, it's April 2014 coming and no news of any possible release date, Canon really disapponted us.

Can we expect Canon will bring a signaficant time changing technology after this long wait ?

Both The SX40 and SX50 has same 12 MegaPixel so expecting to have a increase in Pixel.
SX 40 has 35X Optical zoom while SX 50 has 50X so trend saying SX 60 will have 60X optical zoom.

What others we might expect

A new Image processor ?

Bigger LCD panel at back
better lens with improved autofocus and aperture ?

What you all pro people are guessing ? Thanks

I still can not swallow this aperture of f / 3.4 - f / 6.4. The PANASONIC has a superzoom camera with 60X optical zoom and aperture of f / 2.8! I have the SX40 HS, I've done numerous comparisons of photos taken with it and made ​​with the SX50, the SX40 arguably the pictures are much better. More clarity, definition, etc. The photos taken with the SX60 are few on the internet, but I did not see myself very excited. Perhaps this new DIGIC processor 6 do some miracle, but so far have not seen anything.

These photos of birds I did with the SX40 in sunny day. The only editing I did in Photoshop was resizing to a smaller size and one of them made ​​a slight crop to recompose. But PICTURE QUALITY IS ORIGINAL AS GAVE ME THE CAMERA. The SX40 HS has handed me the "ready" photo!

Notice in the pictures that there is no "harshness" that has the photos taken with the SX50. In the SX60 I'm also noticing a harshness in the photos but is somewhat smaller. Bottom line: I'm still with the SX40 HS, which to me is still the best superzoom from Canon SX series produced by in terms of image quality.

No, they don't.  The FZ200 is 25-600mm equivalent - 24x, not 60x.

Reader does have search, at least on Windows (control F for find). So does the reader on my phone.

You are absolutely right! I have been used to the full version with the buttons at the top for search. I still like the full version because I can change text in Acrobat. I use a mac mostly but have 3 PCs which usually are sitting quietly in the corner. Pictures are so much easier to manipulate on the mac. IMO

I am referring to the Panasonic FZ70 camera!

It's not 2.8, it's 2.8-5.9.  The SX60 is 3.4-6.5.  That's almost no difference - less than half a stop.
