So happy that I bought this camera.
I had a very difficult time deciding which super zoom to buy. The Sony XR10 IV was my first choice but I keep hearing a new model is on the way so $1,700 when a new model is coming narrowed my choices to either the Nikon p950 or the Canon sx70. The p950 has a little longer zoom but the Canon was lighter and offer 20 megapixel instead of 16. So when it arrived and I took the first few pictures I was thrilled. The quality of the photography is amazing. I had a bluebird that in life is a neon blue and the photo looked as good as the bird. Great fun, great zoom great camera. See photos below. These were all taken before I had even looked at the instructions. This is a simple camera, very easy to use, light weight. The only negative is that it is not weather sealed like the Sony.

Better than I had expected
I have owned a Canon SX40 HS for several years and have thoroughly enjoyed the convenience that it afforded. I also have a Canon 6D MKII which I use for serious photography. When I got the new SX70 HS, I was surprised how much the controls that are like the EOS line of cameras. I like the wireless and bluetooth capabilities but I found the wireless connection unreliable so I use a third party bluetooth shutter release instead. One big disappointment is the lack of HDR mode that I used a lot with the SX40 HS. I was able to use the camera to take some nice pictures of humming birds in my back yard and am, over all, very happy with the purchase. I plan to use the camera for wildlife photography since it is so light weight and has lots of features, especially the 65X soom.
