First, thanks to all who took the time to reply. I appreciate it & it did help. So yesterday, I went to Hunts camera & checked the Nikon P520 & Canon SX50. Both very good, but___. So checked a refurbished Nikon D5100 & was about to spring for it when I asked about any bridge cameras (learned that is the term to describe the likes of Nikon P520 etc.) better than the Nikon & Canon. He brought out a Panasonic FZ200. Ended up purchasing that for a number of reasons, number one is a 2.8 Leica lens, manual focus & hot shoe & 600mm equivalent zoom. So far, very pleased with it, but have to get used to new controls.

I bought the FZ 200 to use when I didn't want to lug my dslr. I love it!!! Takes great images and so easy to use. Good luck with it. Post some images when you have time.

Yes it was. Thanks for your help.
Ed,
You are quite welcome. I am sure you will enjoy the camera. Any questions let me know. With the sale this past weekend that was a great price. Don't forget to mail in the rebate for another $70. Call the store and ask for me if you need any help.
