Canon SX60, Fuji FinePix S1, or......?

Hi guys.

Can I please pick your brains...

I'm after mid range do-it-all bridge camera mainly for holiday snaps. I have a Canon 70D but don't want to take that away with me. I also have a Canon Eos M with a lens adapter but have ruled out taking this on holiday as I can't be bothered changing the lenses every 5 mins. I just want something I can chuck in my bag and forget about.

I have a budget of around £300 and have been looking at the Canon SX60. I need something with a good focal range and a viewfinder. I have read that the auto focus on the canon may be a bit slow, fast focus is also high on my priority list. I then came across the FinePix S1 which seems good value for money.

Can anyone throw any more models into the mix? Or does anyone have any experience with the mentioned cameras?

If it was up to me I would get the Panasonic FZ1000 or Sony RX10, sadly they are too much at present.

Thanks in advance for any replies...

I picked up the M3 version over the weekend for pretty much the same reasons as the OP. Have a D7000 for heavy duty work, but the Sony is pretty impressive for its size.
