Just a thought kicking around my head that I thought might be worth investigating. My 10 year old son is nature/wildlife obsessed. Loves going to nature reserves etc. Normally takes binoculars but is starting to express an interest in taking some photos. I think this is very much a record keeping thing rather than for art.
I'm pondering whether one of the crazy zoom bridge cameras might be good for him? But it's a sector of the market I know nothing about and as I'd be buying used, it's really quite hard to understand what options are out there. I think ease of use and good stabilisation would be key. Ultimate image quality probably not such a big deal. I suppose portability is a factor too but I assume most of these big tele bridge cameras are quite chonky?
Probably looking at £200 tops.
I have in the back of my mind that an old DSLR with a cheap 70-300 is an option but the bridge options maybe sound more appealing.
Advice greatly appreciated.
