Thread: Canon SX60......users

Hi, i mostly use the P mode, and yep they can be grainy in poor light, video looses focus etc, i also found that it has problems foucing in low light, i hear the 70 has better colours and less grey. i always use the timer for taking pics of stags as that reduces the shutter blur especially when using a lot of zoom, the main reason i like the sx60 over say a p900 is that it is small enough to easily fit in my kangaroo pocket of my hunting top so it is aways on hand when hunting. i know guys using the 70s and they liked the 60 better and some others the other way round, might be time for an upgrade to a 70.
For the price they are a good camera, i will be up grading to a 70 when i get some spare coin.
Cheers

hey appreciate that.

i have played with P a few times too! it gives a lil bit more adjust for lighting. (gave it another look over, will try P again an change a few things! thanks)
found some of them settings just go back to a default type of film mode i think, so thru ya view finder its all hunky dorey an then ya press record and its almost black..

yep copy on the 2sec timer for images, im on that right track also-

i havnt looked into the 70 yet, i suppose that is the next avenue, upgrading!

I have been using the older SX50 for a while. Does the trick for me - before the heat shimmy comes on, usually zoom in on a stag to re check the head. Must admit i haven't worked all the other functions yet.
