After a lot of research I was debating between a Nikon p610, and a Canon sx60 hs. The Nikon was out of stock, we were taking a trip, so I pulled the trigger on the Canon. Using search tools, I identified the best price through a retailer and made the purchase, but after placing the order discovered that the camera was back-ordered and would not arrive in time for the trip. I went back to my search and found another "cheap" retailer, but their reviews were horrible and I had a lot of apprehension. With a lot of reluctance I placed the order. For reasons I can't explain, Canon USA didn't initially populate the list of retailers with the camera in stock. The morning after making the purchase I was really worried about the purchase I had made, and did one last search, and alas Canon USA came up on the list with a better price, a battery, charger, SD card, and 1 year warranty. With eight days until departure, I cancelled the order with the shady merchant, and ordered a refurbished sx60 from Canon. I just got it. This is the reason I'm writing.... I gambled on the 3-7 day free shipping with eight days to go and crossed my fingers that they would get it to me on time. I had already ordered accessories because I knew which camera I wanted. Here comes the amazing part, the very next day FedEx arrived in my driveway. I assumed it was a box of filters and accessories I had ordered several days prior, but I was elated to find that my camera order was contained in the box, blowing away the 3-7 day delivery estimate with a next day arrival. I can't guarantee Canon will get your camera to you that fast, but I think it is important to share when a company does something outstanding. By the way, the camera appears to be brand new, there isn't a nick or scratch on it. A quick check indicates the basics work as expected; zoom, video, flash, etc., and I'll be learning how to use it more effectively over the next few days and report back after the trip regarding the performance of the camera for recording our adventure.
