I own an SX60HS and I also own a D7200, two very different cameras. I also have the 18-140 lens; nice lens. The Nikon will definitely give you much higher resolution images than the Canon, 16 vs 24 megapixels, but if it is range you want, the Canon's 21-1365 lens is one of the top performers out there. The Nikon and lens is larger and heavier than the Canon and worth about 3 to 4 times more. If you are planning on making large prints then the Nikon gives you a definite advantage but if you're images are going to be viewed mostly electronically, or small prints, what you already have is plenty sufficient. If you need the performance of the DSLR then the D7200 is a good choice but you're going to need more than 1 lens to replace what you get with the Canon.

Thanks Morrison for the comment. It is really useful since you have both the cameras.
I'm not planing to make large prints. Only viewing in my computer and some small prints. Also I'm not expecting to have large zoom lens for D7200 to reach 60x zoom like SX60 since I couldn't afford those expensive lenses. I just thought to improve quality of family portraits and macro shots. But after reading your comment, I think I should reconsider about the upgrade. May be I have to learn the capebilites of my SX60 first.

Although I have never used a SX60 the reviews I've read suggest it is an excellent Bridge Camera. My question is why do you want to change?

My background in photography goes back about 60 years. My first "real" camera was a Petrie 1.9. After a mumber of years (in the late 60s I move up to a Minolta SRT-100 and a few other Minoltas. After I retired, I used several bridge cameras because I didn't want to carry a large camera bag and have to change lenses.

Finally, I upgraded to a Nikon D5100 because I was in a location that offered many photography opportunities that my bridge camera could not handle adequately.

Now, from what I have read, the Nikon D7200 is a great camera and would be an excellent upgrade. The 18-140 lens is awesome, in fact I use one for 90% of the photos I take. If I need more reach (birding is a good example) I use my 55-300mm "kit lens" which is excellent.

Bottom line, why do you want to change? Does the SX60 meet your needs or is it lacking somehow. If you can't achieve what you want with the SX60, then considering upgrading (and the D7200 should be a great upgrade). Next, do you need the reach of a 300 mm lens, if you do consider an 18-300mm lens, if you don't need the reach, the nikon 18-140 mm is excellent. Your choice, your decision.

Thanks Larry for the detailed comment. Only reason is, I'm thinking about improve my photography skills (as a hobby) with DSLR which have large sensor and more controls.

Why do you think you need to upgrade?. What is wrong with the SX60?


1. It has a small sensor. I thought I can improve quality of my photos with a camera with large sensor.

2. In SX60, to change most of the settings, you have to go to the menu (Eg: ISO). But D7200 has control buttons in the body. (At first I was thinking about D5500. But changed my mind due to the same reason )

Hi Guys,

As I mentioned in a previous tread I’m using a bridge camera Canon SX60.

Now thinking about upgrade to Nikon D7200 with 18-140mm lens or 18-300mm lens.

I would like to know your professional opinion about this upgrade. Any thoughts, comments, suggestions ?

Thanks and Best Regards,
/Suneth

I haven't. We lost power for several days after hurricane Irma with no subsequent problems. Probably a dumb question but, have you checked to be sure it didn't just lose settings during the outage? I also put an inexpensive humidity gauge inside the cabinet to double check the levels. They never match but are close.

My main concern is mold. It would make me sick to develop mold in my lenses.


OK. My concern is, my dry cabinet is not air sealed completely and there is a leak somewhere.

Since I'm living in a tropical country where humidity level is high, it is better to use a dry box/cabinet to protect the cameras & lenses from fungus.

I brought a dry cabinet (30L – smaller one) about a week ago. I’m keeping the humidity level about 45. But after a power outage (about 4 hours) humidity level is going up to normal level (about 70) although I haven’t open the cabinet door. I’m bit worried about it. Have you ever experienced something like this ?

Barb, I have been using one for about a year and I really like it. Mine has four shelves. I'm currently down to two large DSLRs and an assortment of lenses, flashes, etc. I have had as many as four cameras in the cabinet at one time along with the other stuff. It wasn't cheap and probably isn't necessary but I like it for two reasons. 1. I'm in central Florida. We run the air conditioning all summer so humidity isn't much of a problem then. However, we don't run the air for 6 months or more and we seldom use heat during this time. The humidity can be quite high and I just feel better with all my cameras and lenses stored this way. 2. It is a very neat and compact way to store my equipment. I keep it organized and everything is together and I can always find what I need. The cabinet has a glass front and interior lighting. The shelves also pull out for easy access.

I realize it may be overkill but I like it and that's all that matters!

No. Not a variety of hummingbird. Purple-rumped Sunbird. I read this is common in Sri Lanka. Did you photograph it there? Would love to go to Sri Lanka someday. Yala is on my list. Have been to India several times and other spots in Asia. When i lived in Singapore I photographed several varieties of sunbirds but Purple-rumped wasn't among them. Not sure they are native to Singapore. Nice shots.


Thanks for commenting. Yes, it is a Purple-rumped Sunbird and photographed in Sri Lanka. Sorry for the wrong title. I think now I can't change the title of the topic. Isn't it ?

Yes, you will not regret by visiting Yala. You can see large number of wild animals including Leopards and elephants.
