Did I make a mistake?

The image quality is quite good for such a small sensor. Checking the store original would have given us a better sense of how good it.
It think the OP has nothing to be concerned about.

Thank you, joer, I kept checking at WalMart to see if they had one in stock, to get the feel and weight of it in my hands, but they would tell me to come back in a couple weeks, they may have one in, they never did.
You made me feel better about my purchase.

Thank you, Laura, I'm hearing good things about the SX60 and it's improvements, making me more excited and not so anxious that a mistake has been made in choosing this camera over the SX50.
Sounds like you have a case of wouda, coulda shoulda. Best to learn and enjoy your new camera and not look back.

Thank You in Advance.
I don't mean to sound harsh, but don't you think this inquiry would have been better timed before rather than after purchase? Are you looking for some hand-holding to vindicate your choice?

Or the New Nikon P900, with 83X zoom, and 8000mm digital zoom.
The SX60 is newer, and I think that's reason enough to prefer it to the SX50. Also, when you decide to sell it, it will get you a better price.

I agree, and if you had bought the SX60, you would have been asking yourself the same thing next month when Nikon releases it's new 24-2000 superzoom.

Cameras tend to be like most electronic equiptment. As soon as you buy the latest model, a newer model is announced. Stick with what you have for a few years. I'm sure the sx60 will serve you well, I had a sx30 and loved it.

Don't know anything about the SX60, but I have a Canon Power Shot S95. It's small enough to fit in my purse (a fanny pack carried over my shoulder) and I can adjust aperture, speed, etc. It's a great back-up camera. I don't have, nor need, a smart phone. My camera will take better pictures than a smart phone.

One BIG advantage for the SX60 for shooting birds is 6 fps compared to the SX5o at just under 3 fps.

I think you are correct, Jim Bob, I was looking from facts about the SX60 from people who know more than me.

I have the SX50 and love it so far. I was considering selling it and saving for the P900, it should be an awesome camera. I changed my mind though..........................i think I'll wait for the 'Next' one to be introduced, you know, the one with an 18-10,000 zoom that takes the photo by voice command, then flips the scene automatically and takes it from the opposite direction, all while uploading your photos to your pc or phone, shoots up to 50 fps (jpg only of course), or raw 25 fps. It will do video with virtual reality feature while allowing you to change the dialogue and manipulate the people in the video all by a voice command.
I guess my point is, there will always be the 'Next' one, so enjoy what you have. It's not always about having the best or latest, but more about what gives YOU, and not someone else pleasure and relaxation.

Is the Nikon P900 more or less expensive than the SX60? the idea of 83 zoom is very tempting. I have read good things about the Nikon family of cameras too, but I'm a little shaky on changing.
You are enforcing my belief that the purchase of SX60 over SX50 was the right choice.

I will be interested in hearing about the Nikon 24-2000 Superzoom and the price for future reference as well as the other Nikon cameras with great zoom capabilities, (always out there trolling for more info. on great products).
P.S. Price does matter.
