My 75 Years young aunt is looking for a camera and has asked for my advise. She wants something with reach for backyard birding. She will also be using it for landscapes and snapshots of family gatherings.

Raw capabilities probably not key as I suspect the only PP she would do is cropping. I think something in the $250 - $300 price range would be doable.

She has a bad back so needs something smallish and lightweight that could use a sling to carry across her chest. I know many folks here love the Canon SX50. Anything else out there that we should consider for her?

Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.

Fuji HS50. A little over your price range. But For 349.00 you can get an included 16gb card and a fitted case from Adorama. Also comes with lens hood and shoulder strap.

We'll add it to the list. Thanks!

It sure looks like "reach" is going to be the prime requisite and that making really big enlargements is not a consideration.

Some shirt pocket cameras have amazingly long zooms and I'll bet the denizens here can tell you which ones.
