I have progressed thru several Canon bridge cameras with the latest being the SX60 and then the G3X. The G3 X has worked out great for photographing birds, particularly hummingbirds. I set the shutter priority on 1/1200 and let the camera set the aperture and ISO. I crop many of the photos even with the photos being taken at 25X, and they are quite sharp. The same has been true for bald eagles as well. The G3 X has worked out much better than the SX60.
Agreed on the Canon G3X. I just recently purchased this camera when I didn't want to lug around a DSLR with a heavy 70-200 2.8. I was amazed at the features packed into this small power house, and the few test shots I have taken are tack sharp. That being said, it's best used on a tri-pod when fully zoomed out. It also shoots RAW and has a built in HDR feature. I couldn't be happier!
