>>4339473>There's no motor/transmission to burn out or break and you can incorporate the power switch into it.You're not actuating camera that often to break something. I'd argue dust sealing is much more important. Which SX160 IS, and I bet my ass SX 740 HS still suck at because there is 3 mm gap between front element and plastic shell for whatever reason (maybe for protective shutter thingy, I don't remember)
>>4339477It's a perfection.
I can't think of any way to upgrade it. Maybe PD AF instead of just contrast seeker. Maybe image stabilization (as in voicecoil suspended sensor, ""IBIS"").
It's just a small sensor compact camera with interesting zoom capabilities. Nobody is gonna use it for anything serious.
> surprised there hasn't been a successor honestly.That is not surprising at all, because most manufacturers were thinking to stop making compact cameras. So, why develop a successor for a dead product niche... I bet they wanted to discontinue it, but then suddenly realized they have 4 month wait time.
