I'll be keeping an eye on this. My wife is looking for a camera that is easy to use to replace her 7-year-old Canon point and shoot (Powershot S3 IS). I'm steering her in the direction of a SX50 HS right now so I can borrow it for shooting things beyond the 400mm reach I'm currently limited to with my 6D and 70-200 2.8 II + 2xiii extender.
Since that purchase is probably at least 6 months away, here is hoping the SX60 HS will be available then.
