So happy that I bought this camera.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Ease of use, ZoomI 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

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:FeaturesI 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.

Love the camera!

Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5My only problem is it did not come with the cable to load my photos onto my computer. I've bought four cables and none are right. I even tried buying one from Canon and it was wrong. Right now I'm not using it much because I have to switch my SD card from the new camera to my old camera. I think Canon totally screwed up!

Perfect Camera
|Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I love this camera. It is replacing an older PowerShot that was about 11 years old. I keep it on Auto and the pictures turn out perfect. I also appreciate the eye viewfinder, which is not found on many of the new cameras. This is the perfect camera for me.
