The Canon PowerShot SX60 HS is a new superzoom camera with a 16.1MP CMOS sensor and 65x optical zoom lens (21-1365mm equivalent). Of course with that kind of reach, the lens features Optical Image Stabilization. Notably, it can capture RAW still images for greater latitude in post processing.

    Why does Canon put the video button so close to the thumb.
    Would be idea, just put a switch or whatever by the red dial
    to be able to turn on or off.
