Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I just got mine, and have been playing with it (and my SX-50) for a couple of hours, particularly indoors without the flash. I had seen some very negative reviews on Amazon, and other places, so I practically didn't even take it out of the box. One site posted some nice pictures that were noisy as all get-out. Their specs with the pictures showed very low ISOs. I took some indoor pictures with low ISOs, and thought, "there you go", when I saw the noise. Oddly enough, I tried the camera on auto, and it picked an ISO of 1600. When I looked at the pictures, they had far less noise (almost zero). Even the RAW pictures were practically noise-free. I would say to try other ISO settings than you normally use. It's weird, but this camera seems to take the high ISO settings without skipping a beat. On other cameras, like my SX-40, the pictures would have been all noise, particularly the RAWs, done with the CHDK add-on. The reviews mentioned the lack of an ISO button on the back. When I hit the Function button, it pops me right into the ISO menu, although I may use it less often, considering what I've found. Other comments had lack of sharpness. For SX-50 users, I tried the same settings on my SX-50, and the SX-60 is noticeably sharper. I've been going with auto focus, but manual is next. A comment on Amazon said that the zoom motor is loud with movies. Compared to my SX-50, I can barely hear it, so that may have been their camera. I've found that the buttons take a really light touch to zoom in and out. Otherwise,I can hear my finger clunks when I move the lever, but no motor sounds, just my big fingers. I know that I can use my phone to control the zoom, so that's something to try. All in all, the camera's been a good experience, so far. Enough that I'm going to keep it and put it through its paces. I'll keep trying this thing, but my initial impression is very good.
