I just bought this Canon PowerShot SX70 HS bridge camera in September 2024 after selecting from a lot of bridge camera reviews on YT. This model is still very interesting and not easy to buy because most online stores are out of stock for this model. Luckely Canon online in the Netherlands has stock for now! Thank you for your thoughts about this product ( now years ago), very wise thinking and still valid! 👍

The tele/wide rocker on the lens can be changed to manual focus and the main control dial also can be used. Once you have focus in vid. tap on the right on 4 way controller to lock it. I have ordered one to-day, have sx60 but like the 4K for better frame grabs to get better stills. Screen and viewfinder also better I also have several DSLRs and big lenses but sometimes its nice to be not so bogged down with heavy gear. Thanks for your thoughts.

Thank you so much Eric, this was exactly the sort of review I was hoping to find! I am not at all technically minded and all the professional chat is useless to me. I wanted another bridge camera (have a Lumix FZ150) to get a bigger zoom. As I'm not interested in doing videos of any fast-moving objects, the details you went into in your review made me realise I was looking at the right camera for me. Brilliant! Best wishes, Ingrid

great review! Buying this camera based on this review. Was torn between it and the nikon 1000 but was unsure about the length. i’m not a serious photographer so a bridge camera fills my needs very well. Seems you actually are a reviewer with honest integrity too! subscribed to catch more of your content!

I've bhad the 50 and then the 60 and now the 70 and one main issue I have with it is you can't do manual settings for video. They need to allow one's manual settings be applicable to video as well. Otherwise, all three have proven to be good cameras, especially manual photo modes and night shooting with long aperture to get stretched effects like car lights etc are super good. Catching lightening during a storm is also very good.

I haven't got much use out of it and its just fallen out of warranty and the screen cuts out at certain angle. Is this likely to be an expensive repair? Can you speak on attaching a uv filter to the hs70sx.

Eric question for you? In video the continuous auto focus is not as good as it could be. I would like to know does the auto focus follow and track with the 10fps burst rate for following birds for example? Or is it the same as the video?
@EricGibaud

I do not have the camera to confirm exactly but I doubt a camera of this price range would keep us that burst rate and focus follow perfectly. I think rate drops or there will be some misfocused shots

Did you find the FZ300 really noisey? I have one and as well reviewed as it is , i find the photo's very hit and miss. Grass on the outer circle of the pictures can look really poor and birds at 600mm can be very grainy and pixelated unless the light is very good. Sometimes even at iso 100 in reasonable light it can be bad. I took a photo of a bird in good light at maybe 20 feet and it looked like it had pixels for feathers :) I need more zoom but also better image quality, so along with the P950 i am very interested in this.

Hi: I want to buy this camera next week, but don't want to rely on the auto focus for wildlife because a one in a million shot can be lost with auto focus not working 100% of the time. I have 2 previous head injuries and want to change the settings to Manual focus and use the rotating dial on top of the camera to manually focus. Can I do that? Thank you for answering my question when you can. Anyone else is welcome to offer me advice too.

Hi Eric, thanks a lot for presenting your review of this Camera. My name is Emerson. I almost purchased one of that but, instead of needing great zoom, my main use will be for filming airplanes during the night at landing. The lights of the aircraft really a huge hassle for the AF and Manual Focus and, this camera does not have a good sensor for lighting sensibility. If increase ISO, OK, I receive noise as well....so could you indicate me the model Canon Rebel SL3 ? Could it be a good one for this proposal (filming aricrafts in HD and/or 4K at night) from 800 m from the aim? What about the lenses, one 300 mm would be goog? Thanks a lot.; Greetings from Brazil;
