The SX60 HS provides reach to 1365mm equivalent — the primary capability of a superzoom bridge camera — at a compact weight and single-lens convenience. The 65× ratio covers extreme subjects such as distant wildlife and aviation from a fixed zoom lens that would otherwise require multiple telephoto primes or zooms. The articulating LCD facilitates wildlife composition at low or high angles.
