Massive zoom range ; Decent handling ; Robust build

Slow lens ; No EVF proximity sensor ; Limited image quality

Also, the maximum aperture of the Canon SX60 HS is just f/3.5-6.5. It’s quite slow, and both the cheaper Panasonic and Fujifilm rivals are faster, with f/2.8 maximum apertures. We’ll get onto the focusing and image quality effects of this later. But in...

Market-leading 65x zoom range ; Full manual control and raw files ; Wi-Fi and NFC built in

As big as an entry-level D-SLR ; No eye sensor on the viewfinder ; Lacks touch-screen control

With a 65x optical zoom, raw format shooting, inbuilt Wi-Fi and NFC, this is a well equipped bridge camera with a lot to offer the enthusiast.

65x zoom lens. 21mm wide-angle coverage. Sharp vari-angle LCD. Integrated EVF and hot shoe. 6.3fps continuous shooting. Great control layout. Framing assist function. Raw shooting support. Wi-Fi. 1080p60 video. Mic input.

Pricey. Lacks EVF eye sensor.

Finally, remote control from your phone or tablet is possible. Controls are limited—you can zoom the lens, set the self-timer, control the flash ouput, and fire the shutter, but that's it. There's no way to select a focus point, or to control other...

65x zoom lens is unmatched on market currently ; A bit more wide angle capabilities (21 mm) than expected in large zoom camera lens ; LCD is sharp and is articulated ; EVF is also very sharp and easy to use ; Camera's performance speeds are better than...

Price is high ; Would expect a little better image quality in this price range ; ISO range is limited to 3200 ; Electronic viewfinder doesn't turn on automatically when you lift camera to your eye ; Extremely large and heavy camera body ; No touch...

The Canon Powershot SX60 HS is an impressive ultra-zoom camera, offering a huge 65x optical zoom range. Unlike many big zoom cameras, the SX60 performs pretty quickly and it creates images that are of a surprisingly good quality. There's plenty of nice...

Good optical image stabilisation, vari-angle LCD, image quality at middle zoom is good for its category

Problems with focus and general handling at the full zoom extension, competition from higher-end superzooms

There's a lot to admire about the Canon PowerShot SX60 HS. It takes what has always been successful about this companies superzooms and pushes it up a notch.

The Canon PowerShot SX60 HS is an all-around excellent bridge camera with a competitive zoom range, features that make it easier to use and make use of the lens and solid photo and video quality for its class.

Like most cameras in this category, the SX60 can be slow to lock focus when fully zoomed in under certain conditions. Switching between the viewfinder and display is still frustrating and there's no proximity sensor to automatically trigger the change...

Canon's PowerShot SX60 HS is one of the top bridge cameras in its class thanks to improved design, useful features, excellent photos and video and -- of course -- its really wide and really long lens.

As soon as we receive a test sample, we will put this compact zoom camera to the test and publish a full Canon PowerShot SX60 HS review, including a sample photo gallery with high resolution pictures and Full HD sample videos. In the mean time you may...
