Hi Guys and Girls

I'm after some advise my dad's camera appears to have died its a Canon of some kind (he brough it the same time I brought my last camera before my DSLR and that was a Konica Minolta Z5 so its quite old).

Anyway I'm looking at getting a new one for christmas (yes I know its only just Septembber) but I want to get some ideas to see what's best my brother and mom may put some towards it looking at arounf £300 ish

He would use it when he is on his narrow boat on the canals and rivers mostly for wildlife/landscape and boats mainly. Ideally want something that doesnt't use AA batteries would rather use a recharageable battery like the ones in my D3100.

The reason I'm looking at bridge cameras is he doesn't want the the hassle of changes lenses

Thank you
 
Thanks Ken I have been looking at the coolpix P520 and seams a good option are there any others we should be looking at?
 
The Canon sx50 is a super camera. My daughter owns one and I do pinch it quite often as its so light and easy to carry around + the zoom is unbelievable
 
Is the FujiFilm FinePix Sl240 any good just had an offer come through for one?

I know it won't have the zoom of the p520
 
I have three bridge cameras (all fuji) and they are superb.

I have the Fuji 9500 which cost me £50 off ebay

The Fuji Finepix S100fs (£100 off ebay)

and the Fuji S8000 which was £130 new and I still use for my wedding Ring shots as the macro on its is fantastic
 
Hi, I've had three bridge cameras, The first was a Fuji S602 (many moons ago) only 3.1 megapixels but very good compared to the others that were about at the time.

The second was a Konica Minolta A2 which I've still got, very versatile but I never did like it as much as the Fuji.

The third is a Fuji S9500 which I've still got, once again a very versatile camera and optically extreemly good. I have always liked this camera very much and still use it from time to time.

I understand the later Fuji's are even better and very good indeed.
 
I love my Lumix FZ38.......

Have a look at the newer Panasonics.
