Ok without a discussion...I am going to spring for either a SX60 or a P900. I will be selling a Fuji S1 in very close to mint condition. What camera should I get. My other equipment is a FZ1000 A FZ300 and the Fuji S1. I will be up for an offer for the S1 in the $140 range...Please advise as to what you would do as to a new camera addition. Please no long discussion just what you would do. If you are interested in the S1 please advise,This is only going to stay up tonight as I am tired of thinking about both cameras...,,Thank You

I would read the specifications and buy the one with the most useful features for me. The last thing I would do is ask someone else to choose a camera that I am going to spend my money on!

We owned an SX60 and it did not take clear photos on the farthest zoom. After sending it back 3 times the told Best Buy to give us full credit on whatever camera we wanted.

I have a Fuji S1 - - WHY are you unhappy with it, and WHAT do you expect to gain with the other offerings ??
I REALLY like the AutoSave feature on the S1. I can push the photos to my computer over my home WiFi
Can the SX60 or the P900 do that ?
My other cameras are a Canon 7D Mk-1 and Canon 80D
My Go To Cam for quick pix is the S1

Thank you for your input. I do not expect a clean shot at full zoom from any camera expect maybe the FZ300 with a small sensor.The only bridge that would give me a clean crisp image was the HX400. I do not have wifi to try the auto save...I didn`t feel this would take me a long time to make a decision...I just wanted some more reach. Thats all....Thanks

GAS attack.....some people collect coins....some collect stamps...mine is being frugal saving my money for months and months and aquireing a camera and getting to know everything I can about it...the FZ1000 has been a tad challenging.....

Thanks........one major factor is dealing with B and M is a pleasure....Any takers for the S1?.....heck of a Florida camera......let it rain......ok there is the 2000.....would be great until you get atmospheric (heat...ocean spray) and the 60...have a feeling the iq is good on both but just thinking that it may be a tad better on the 60....leave the optical to off....well my friends going to sleep on it...thanks for being there....I know why this has been a little difficult.....they are both good cameras...

The P900 doesn't shoot RAW, so it's just for dilettantes.

S1 shoots RAW - - wouldn't have gotten it otherwise

My advise, buy neither.

I owned a Nikon P900 for a week. At 72, I tend to shake. In order to use the camera to its max at 2000mm, I found I had to use a tripod. I returned the camera for something that didn't have such a long reach. I just used something less, like 1000 and crop the image. Good luck.
