I want to commend the subject forum and express how much pleasure it has brought me - Not going to get SAPPY here!! I just joined this week and am really interested in all the content on the forum.

Thanks for bringing this info to all interested.

Best regards,

Thanks for correcting me, Wahawk. I'm pretty new to the "Bridge" camera generation.

Thanks Linda. Appreciate the comparison between 170 IS and SX60. Gives me a good idea of field I'm in. Will look forward to initial reviews.

Best regards,
Yardman

My field of cameras ranges from Nikon 6006 to Nikon L110(which has lost the flash) to current Canon Powershot SX170 IS. Really like the L110, but the SX170 is doing a very good job. Seems like the SX60 HS would put me back into creative photography. I really like macros and pay very special attention to composition to surround my subjects.

Am considering purchase of subject DSLR to help me enjoy my phototaking. Would like to read any reviews and/or comments you and others have before taking any action.

Thank you,
Yardman
